Where to report a lost item in Kearney
Each option below works, but ReportLost does them all at once and adds continuous web monitoring.
Kearney Police Department
The city police keep a lost & found and file reports on items lost in public. Call or visit in person during business hours. We route your report to them automatically and ensure your description reaches the right desk.
Kearney Regional Airport
Lost something at the airport or on a flight? The airport operates its own lost & found office. We identify whether your loss likely passed through airport security and alert them with complete details.
RYDE Transit Lost & Found
Left something on a RYDE bus? The transit office collects items found on vehicles. We contact them with your description and ensure your item is logged into their system. Items are held for a standard retention period.
University of Nebraska at Kearney
If you lost something on the UNK campus, the university police department and Help Desk both maintain lost & found records. We alert both offices and get your item logged into their system.
City Hall & Local Services
Items found in parks, libraries, or municipal buildings often end up at City Hall. We route your report to the appropriate city department and follow up on your behalf, so you don't have to call multiple offices.
Lost Pet
Searching for a missing dog, cat, or other pet in Kearney? The Kearney Area Animal Shelter and local rescue networks are your first call. We help coordinate alerts with shelters and community groups. To maximize your chances, file a priority lost pet report with us right away.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Kearney means contacting the police, checking the airport if you flew out, reaching out to RYDE Transit if you took the bus, and then scrolling through Facebook groups and Nextdoor every single day hoping someone found it. It's scattered, exhausting, and easy to miss a crucial post buried in a community thread.
ReportLost condenses all that into one place. File your loss once, and our team immediately notifies every relevant Kearney office and social channel. Then, instead of you refreshing Facebook groups or browsing local posts yourself, we run an automated search across the entire web for months, catching any "found" post that matches your item before it gets buried. Peace of mind starts here.
