How ReportLost Works
You File Your Report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We'll gather the details needed to alert the right local authorities and community groups.
We Route It Forward
Your report goes directly to the Hastings Police Department, relevant lost and found offices, and the community channels where Hastings residents search. No runaround, no repeating yourself.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically looks for matches against newly posted found items, marketplace listings, and community posts. You get an alert the moment we find a credible match, so the search continues while you move forward.
Where Lost Items Go in Hastings
Here's what ReportLost connects you to, so you don't have to figure it out alone.
Hastings Police Department
The Police Department handles lost and found reports and maintains a record of items turned in. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and file the report on your behalf so you don't have to make the call yourself.
City of Hastings
Lost items at city facilities, parks, or civic offices often end up at City Hall. We coordinate with the right department to ensure your report is registered and monitored across municipal channels.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a companion animal, Hastings has multiple rescue and shelter facilities ready to help. Start Over Rover and Heartland Pet Connection are local havens for lost animals, and we ensure your pet report reaches animal control and all community resources immediately. To get your lost pet the fastest, most comprehensive response, file a priority lost pet report.
Hastings Municipal Airport
Lost something at the airport? Items left at gates, in the terminal, or on aircraft are tracked by airport operations. We make sure your report reaches the right desk so it's found before it's buried.
Transit & Local Transportation
Left something on a local bus or in a rideshare? RYDE Transit and other local transportation services maintain lost and found systems. We generate the exact information to include in your report and point you to the right contact when transit is involved.
Community & Marketplace
Hastings residents post found items on Facebook groups like 'Hastings, NE Lost & Found Pets' and local community pages. Our system continuously scans these channels for matches to your report, so you're not manually refreshing a dozen groups every day.

The Sooner You Report, the Better Your Chances
The moment you realize something is missing is the moment to file. Once your report is in the system, our team handles the coordination, and your report keeps working for you. It's one task off your plate so you can focus on what comes next.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hastings means navigating the Police Department, local shelters, Facebook groups, and community posts separately, each with its own process and timeline. By the time you've called everyone and posted everywhere, days or weeks have passed. ReportLost bridges that gap, turning one careful report into coordinated alerts across all the places where lost items actually turn up.
Once you file, your report stays in motion. Rather than checking Hastings community groups and local listings every morning, your description keeps searching automatically for a match. The moment a found item matches your report, you're notified. It's the difference between hoping someone finds and reports your loss, and having a dedicated report working the problem for you across six to twelve months.
