Where to report your loss in Webster Groves
These are the official channels. ReportLost handles the routing for you, but you can also reach out directly.
Webster Groves Police Department
The local police department keeps a record of lost and found items reported to them, and can provide details on where items are being held. We tell you which department handles your loss location and generate a report ready to file.
Webster Groves City Hall
City Hall coordinates with parks, recreation centers, and public facilities where lost items are often turned in. If you lost something at a public event or city property, this is an important stop.

Webster Groves is served by Metro (St. Louis public transit). If you lost something on a bus or at a transit stop, Metro's customer service team handles those inquiries. We point you to the exact contact method and help you describe what you lost.
St. Louis Lambert International Airport
If your loss occurred at the airport or on a flight, Lambert's dedicated lost and found team manages all inquiries. Contact them during business hours (Mon–Fri, 9am–4pm Central Time).
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, time is critical. Alert local shelters, contact the Humane Society of Missouri, and post to community pet networks immediately. The faster you act, the better the chance of recovery. For a faster, coordinated alert to shelters and pet rescue groups across the St. Louis area, file a priority lost pet report with us.

The first hours matter
The sooner you file a report, the more eyes can start looking. Once your report is in, you can breathe easy. We handle the outreach and keep watching for you.
Report my lost item →Webster Groves has several independent systems for lost and found: the police department, businesses and parks throughout the city, the Metro transit network, and community groups on Facebook and Nextdoor. If you lose something, you could spend days contacting each one separately, repeating your story and waiting for callback.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we make sure the right people know. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after one day. It stays active for your entire search period, automatically comparing new found items and local posts against your description, so you can move forward without constantly checking back.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Webster Groves Police keep lost items?
Police and municipal lost and found offices typically hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposal or donation. That's why filing a report early is important. Once you report with us, your search continues even after local offices cycle items out, through our active monitoring of found posts and community channels.
What should I include in my report to Webster Groves Police?
A detailed description (color, size, brand, distinctive features), the exact location and date of loss, and any identifying marks. If you have a photo, include it. We help you generate the exact information they need before you call or visit.
Do I need to visit the police station in person?
You can file a report by phone (314-963-5402 for general inquiries or 314-645-3000 for non-emergencies), email, or in person at 4 S. Elm Ave. ReportLost can prepare your report details so your conversation is quick and complete.

What if I lost something at the airport or on the bus?
We route your report to the specific lost and found office (Metro Customer Service for transit, Lambert Airport Lost & Found for airport losses). Each has their own process and hold times. We make sure the right department has your information.
