Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the exact details Sidney Police, city services, and community channels need to help.

Where lost items surface in Sidney
The channels we connect you with
Sidney Police Department
Sidney Police holds found items and maintains a record of loss reports. They operate Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We file your report directly with them and generate the details they need to match your description to items already in their possession.
City of Sidney
Sidney City Hall handles lost items reported at public buildings and city events. Reaching the right department can be unclear, but we know which office to contact and what information to provide so your item gets logged in the right place.
Local Transit
Sidney's public transportation system operates a dedicated lost and found for items left on buses. We identify the correct transit office for your loss location and submit your report to their system so they can flag your item if it turns up.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in the Sidney area, contact High Plains P.A.W. or check with the Nebraska Humane Society. They coordinate with local shelters and the community to reunite lost animals with their families. For the fastest reunion, file a priority lost pet report with us—we'll notify all the right rescue and shelter partners immediately.
Community Networks
Sidney residents use Facebook groups and community pages to post found items and ask neighbors for help. We alert the most active local groups about your loss so community members can keep an eye out.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Ready to get started?
The sooner you file a report, the faster the word spreads through Sidney's lost and found network. Then let us handle the follow-up while you focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Sidney has multiple places where lost items end up—Sidney Police lost and found, city offices, the local transit system, and dozens of community members who spot things and post online. Calling each one separately and checking Facebook groups daily is time consuming, and details get mixed up in translation. ReportLost simplifies the whole process: one submission, and we make sure the right people in Sidney know what you're looking for.
The real advantage is that your report doesn't stop after the first week. It stays active, automatically comparing new found items and posts against your description for months, so you don't have to keep refreshing community pages or calling around. Once you file, you can relax; your search continues behind the scenes.
