Where Lost Items Go in Chalco
Understanding local lost & found channels and how ReportLost connects them
Sarpy County Sheriff & Omaha Police
Items lost in Chalco may be reported to the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office or Omaha Police Department depending on jurisdiction. Both accept lost property reports through their non-emergency lines. ReportLost identifies which agency covers your loss location and ensures your report reaches the right desk.

Metro Transit (Omaha area buses)
If you lost your item on a Metro Transit bus serving Chalco and the Omaha area, the bus operator may have turned it in to the Customer Service dispatch office. ReportLost generates the exact details needed to file a lost item claim and points you toward the right contact.
Eppley Airfield (Omaha)
Lost something at Omaha's airport? The Terminal Lost & Found on the Lower Level handles items left at gates, in terminals, or in restaurants. ReportLost ensures your description reaches TSA and airport personnel so your item is flagged if it turns up.
University Police (UNL & UNO)
Students and visitors who lost items on either campus can report to UNL Police or UNO Public Safety. Both departments maintain lost & found offices and hold items for 30 days. ReportLost makes sure your report is filed with the right campus department.
Lost Pet
A lost dog, cat, or other pet needs immediate visibility across shelters and community networks. The Nebraska Humane Society, Capital Humane Society (Lincoln area), and Lost Pets of Omaha Area (Facebook) are key channels. ReportLost connects you with these resources and keeps your pet alert active for months, while you also file a priority lost pet report for faster local circulation.

Don't let a lost item slip away.
The sooner you report, the better your chances. Once your report is filed, ReportLost and local agencies take it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet in Chalco means contacting multiple offices: the Sarpy County Sheriff, Omaha Police (which covers parts of Chalco), local businesses and parks, animal shelters, and scattered online groups. Each agency holds items for a limited time, and no single report reaches them all. You're left searching fragmented channels and hoping someone finds what you lost.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report triggers alerts across law enforcement, lost & found departments, and active community channels in the Omaha and Chalco area. Better still, your report remains active throughout your entire search window (12 months), continuously comparing new found items and marketplace posts against your description, so you don't have to monitor Facebook groups or Nextdoor yourself every day. Once you file, the search works for you.
