How ReportLost works in Louisville
You submit what you lost
Tell us the item, where you lost it in Louisville, and any details that help identify it. A wallet at a downtown business? Your phone near the airport? Your cat in the Churchill area? We capture everything needed.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Louisville Police Department, City Hall, Louisville Animal Shelter (if it's a pet), and gets shared with active local community groups. We handle the phone calls and forms so you don't have to.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continuously scans for matches across local channels, community posts, and found item notices. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert. No daily checking required.
Where to report a lost item in Louisville
The key places items turn up, and how to reach them directly
Louisville Police Department
The first stop for reporting lost items. You can file a report in person or by phone. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and prepare the details they'll need.
City Hall
City Hall maintains records of items turned in across Louisville facilities and can advise on local procedures. We generate the exact information to include when you reach out.
Louisville-Winston County Airport
If you lost your wallet, phone, keys, or bag at the airport, report it to Airport Management right away. Items held at the terminal can move quickly.
Louisville Animal Shelter
Lost a dog, cat, or other pet? The Animal Shelter is your first call. They reunite lost pets with owners and hold animals while searching. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report with us so the shelter and community networks are all alerted at once.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Getting your report filed early makes all the difference
The sooner a lost item is reported to the Police Department, City Hall, and community channels, the sooner local people can start keeping an eye out. Once your report is in, you can breathe easier knowing the system is working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Louisville means contacting separate offices, posting on multiple Facebook groups, calling animal control if it's a pet, and then checking back every day to see if anyone's posted about a found item. The Louisville Police Department, City Hall, local shelters, and community groups all operate independently, and there's no central place to file a report that reaches them all at once.
ReportLost cuts through that friction. File one report and we immediately notify the right departments, the animal shelter, and active local networks. Then your report stays active for months, automatically matching your description against new found items and posts so you can stop worrying and get back to your day. It's the raccourci that takes the guesswork out of lost and found in Louisville.
