How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. We gather the details that matter most to reunite you with your wallet, ring, phone, cat, or dog.
We route it to the right places
Your loss gets reported to Aurora Police, City Hall, local shelters and rescues, businesses where you were, and posted to community channels. No runaround, no repetition.
Your report keeps searching for you
We don't stop after day one. Your description stays active across local posts, found listings, and community alerts for the duration of your search period. You get notified if a credible match surfaces, so you're not checking every group and site yourself.
Where to report and what to know
Aurora's official channels and community resources
Aurora Police Department
The Police Department is your starting point for lost wallets, rings, phones, jewelry, and other valuables. They maintain lost and found records and can advise on high-traffic locations where items often turn up. We'll file your report with the right precinct contact and generate the information you'll need to follow up.
City Hall and Local Services
City Hall coordinates community safety and can connect you with municipal lost and found resources. They also hold information about lost items found in public spaces and city buildings. When you report through ReportLost, we notify City Hall so your loss is on their radar too.
Lost and Found Pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing in Aurora, every hour matters. The Nebraska Humane Society, local rescues, and community groups are actively searching. ReportLost connects you to shelters and broadcasts your lost pet across community channels. Get immediate help by going to file a priority lost pet report.
School Bus and Transit
Lost something on an Aurora Public Schools bus? Check in with the Bus Barn or call the transportation office. Items left on school buses are held for a limited time, so quick action counts. We'll ensure your report reaches the right transit contact.
Aurora Municipal Airport
If you lost an item at Aurora Municipal Airport (Al Potter Field), contact the Aurora Airport Authority. They maintain a lost and found for items left in terminals and parking areas. You can also reach out to specific airlines if you believe the item is in their custody.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Getting ahead matters
The sooner you report, the sooner we coordinate across all the right channels. Aurora is a tight-knit community, and local networks respond quickly to organized alerts. Filing your report activates that network effect immediately.
Report my lost item →In Aurora, losing something precious means navigating separate systems: the Police Department, City Hall, local businesses, animal shelters, Facebook groups, and Nextdoor. Each has its own process, timeline, and reach. A wallet dropped at 12th Street, a ring left at a local store, a lost cat or dog in the neighborhood, a phone forgotten on a school bus—these stories play out across different channels, and without a coordinated push, they fade fast.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report, and we route your loss to the Aurora Police Department, City Hall, relevant local organizations, and active community networks. What sets us apart is persistence: your report doesn't expire after a week or a month. It stays active, matching your description against new found posts, lost pet alerts, and marketplace listings throughout your entire search period, so you can exhale and let the search continue in the background.

Frequently asked questions
How long will Aurora Police hold a lost item?
The Aurora Police Department typically holds unclaimed items for 30 to 60 days before disposition. Check with them at 402-694-5815 if you believe your item is in their custody. ReportLost ensures your loss is logged early, maximizing the window for recovery.
Where do I claim a lost pet in Aurora?
Start by calling the Nebraska Humane Society's Lost and Found line and checking their website, then contact Aurora-area shelters. They ask for proof of ownership and photo ID. ReportLost alerts all relevant shelters and rescues simultaneously, speeding up reunification.
What if I lost something on a school bus?
Call Aurora Public Schools Transportation at 402-694-6923 or visit the Bus Barn. Items are held for a limited time, so contact them right away. ReportLost will also notify the school so your report is on file.
How do I report a lost item at Aurora Municipal Airport?
Contact the Aurora Airport Authority at 402-694-3633. If you believe your item is in an airline's custody, reach out to the carrier directly. ReportLost can help you draft the right message and track multiple channels.
Can I search Nextdoor and Facebook myself instead of using ReportLost?
You can, but you'd be checking multiple sites and groups every day for weeks. ReportLost does that work for you. Your report stays active for 12 months, automatically cross-referencing new found posts and alerts. You're notified if a match surfaces, so you're not manually refreshing pages.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We file reports with the Aurora Police Department and City Hall, notify community organizations, and keep your search active over time. We're a coordination layer that makes reporting faster and follow-up more thorough, not a replacement for calling police or visiting shelters yourself.
