Where Lost Items End Up in Billings
Every place you should know about, and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.

The police handle lost property reports and maintain a lost & found. Items turned in at the precinct are logged here. We identify the correct precinct for your loss location and file your report so the police know to watch for your item.
Non-Emergency Line: 406-657-8200|Crime Prevention Center: 406-247-8590
Billings Airport Lost & Found
Items left in the terminal are brought to the Airport Police office on the second floor, Room 210. We submit your lost item details to the airport so staff can match found items to your report.
MSU Billings Lost & Found
The university police manage lost items on campus and in student facilities. If you lost something while studying or attending an event at MSU Billings, we ensure the university police are notified and monitoring for your item.
MET Transit
Billings MET buses route through downtown and neighborhoods. Items left aboard are collected at the transit office. We alert MET to your lost item so they flag it if it comes in on one of their routes.
City of Billings
City offices and public spaces see lost items too. We coordinate with the city administration so your report reaches the right department and public records.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a pet in or around Billings, animal control and local rescues maintain records. Billings Animal Control, BARK, and Help for Homeless Pets all work together to reunite lost animals with their owners. If your missing friend is a pet, file a priority lost pet report with us instead, where we specialize in animal searches.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Once you file, our network springs into action immediately. We contact officials and monitor the web in real time. Every day counts, and the first few hours can make the difference between a quick recovery and a long search.
Report my lost item →Billings is a growing city with a busy airport, a university campus, and active downtown and neighborhood communities. Losing something here means juggling phone calls to the police, the airport, the university, and scrolling through scattered Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts. If you misplace an item, the clock starts ticking, and the systems that hold found objects don't all talk to each other.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File once with us, and we notify every official lost & found office in Billings and tap into local social channels where community members post found items. More importantly, our system keeps searching for your item across the web for months afterward, so you can stop refreshing the same groups and sites every day. Once you report, we've got your back.
