You submit your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the details needed for every channel that handles lost items in Long Beach, from the police non-emergency desk to community groups.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Long Beach Police Department, City Hall, the Humane Society of South Mississippi (if it's a pet), local Facebook groups, and Nextdoor. No runaround, no duplicate calls.

Where lost items and pets go in Long Beach
A breakdown of every local channel and what to expect
Long Beach Police Department
The LBPD handles lost item reports and keeps them on file. Items found in public spaces or turned in by the public often end up here. We help you file a report through their non-emergency line and ensure your details reach the right desk.
City Hall and Public Records
City Hall maintains records of found items and can connect you with the appropriate department depending on where you lost something. We prepare the information you need and point you to the right desk.
Lost and Found Pets
The Humane Society of South Mississippi and the LBPD Animal Care Facility handle lost dogs and cats across the area. The Humane Society also works with Petco Love Lost, a national database. If you've lost a pet, file a priority lost pet report to accelerate your search across shelters and rescue networks.
Community Networks
Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and local Reddit threads (like r/longbeach) are where neighbors post found items and alert each other. Your report is shared across these channels, multiplying your chances of a match without you having to post in each one separately.
Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport
If you lost something while traveling through the region's main airport, items are held and searchable. We identify your item location and help you contact the right airport department.

Report your loss now, find it later
The sooner you file a report, the sooner every channel in Long Beach knows to look for your item. Once it's in, you can step back. Your report is now working for you.
Report my lost item →In a small city like Long Beach, losing your wallet, keys, or a beloved pet can feel isolating. You know your item could be at the police station, picked up by Animal Care, posted in a Facebook group, or sitting unclaimed somewhere in town, but reaching each place separately takes time you don't have.
ReportLost takes that burden off your shoulders. One report, submitted once, reaches all the right channels at once. Better still, your report doesn't stop searching after you submit it. For your entire search period, it stays active, automatically cross-checking new found posts and alerts so that if someone finds your ring, phone, or lost dog, a match surfaces without you having to refresh a dozen websites every morning.
