Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to get your item into the right hands.
We route it to the right places
We notify the Nebraska City Police Department, alert local lost and found offices, and amplify your report across community channels so more eyes are looking.

Where to Report Lost Items in Nebraska City
Direct contacts for police, city services, and community channels
Nebraska City Police Department
The police maintain a lost and found for items reported as lost or turned in to their station. Provide them with a detailed description and your contact information. We'll tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and help you prepare all the details they'll need.
Nebraska City Hall
City Hall coordinates with local services and can direct you to the right department depending on where your item was lost. They can also help with lost items found on city property or in municipal buildings. We'll generate the exact information to include when you call.
Metro Transit (Omaha Area)
If you lost an item on a bus or transit vehicle serving the greater Omaha region, Metro Transit maintains a lost and found. Call their customer service line to report your loss and ask about items turned in. We can help you prepare the details about your trip.
Nebraska City Municipal Airport
The local airport's fixed-base operator maintains a lost and found for items left in terminal areas or on aircraft. If you flew out of Nebraska City Airport, contact Blue Line Aviation during business hours to report or inquire about your item.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, time matters. Contact the Nebraska Humane Society or check community Facebook groups dedicated to lost pets in Nebraska. They coordinate with shelters and rescue networks across the region. When you're ready, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to activate immediate community alerts.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Nebraska City can feel scattered when you don't know who to call first. Should you contact the police? Check with the library or local businesses? Post on Facebook? The challenge is that lost items get reported to different places, and no single place talks to all of them. By the time you realize where to look, the trail has gone cold.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. One report covers all the ground, automatically reaching the police, local lost and found offices, and the community channels where people share finds. Better yet, your report doesn't sit idle. It stays active and keeps matching against new found items for months, so you can focus on your day while we handle the search for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Nebraska City Police Department keep lost items?
The police department holds lost items for a set period before releasing them to storage or donation. We recommend reporting your loss immediately and following up within 7 to 14 days. ReportLost keeps your report active much longer, so matches can still be found after the police holding period ends.
What information do I need to report a lost item?
Prepare a clear description (color, brand, distinctive marks), the location where you last had it, the date it went missing, and your contact information. If you have a photo, even better. We'll help you organize these details and ensure they reach the right services.
Can I check on a found item at Nebraska City Hall or the police station?
Yes, you can call ahead or visit in person during business hours. City Hall (402-873-5515) and the Police Department (402-873-6666) can confirm whether an item matching your description has been turned in. We can point you to the right desk and the questions to ask.
Where should I look if I lost something on a bus?
If you used Metro Transit or another regional service, call their customer service line immediately. Many items are kept for 30 to 60 days. If you're unsure which service you used, we can help you identify it based on your route.
What if my lost pet is found after the shelter's holding period?
This is why a community alert is so important. The Nebraska Humane Society works with rescue networks and shelters, but posting on lost pet Facebook groups and Nextdoor drastically improves your chances of a reunion, even weeks later. ReportLost activates all these channels at once.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside police and local lost and found offices, not in place of them. We route your report to the official channels you'd contact anyway, plus community boards where private citizens share finds. You're always welcome to contact police or city services directly, but ReportLost coordinates everything and keeps your report active for months while you move forward.
