How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's on base, at Harry Reid Airport, or nearby areas, we gather the details needed to route your report correctly.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Nellis Security Forces, the airport Lost & Found if relevant, local police jurisdiction, and key community channels. You don't have to make multiple calls or figure out which office handles what.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report remains active, automatically cross-referencing new found items, marketplace posts, and community alerts. When a match surfaces, we notify you immediately, so you're not checking Facebook groups or lost pet databases every day.

Getting your report in motion matters
The sooner you file, the sooner Security Forces, airport staff, and community networks have your description in their system. Once your report is active with ReportLost, you've done the hard work, the search keeps going, and we'll reach out the moment something matches.
Report my lost item →Losing something on Nellis Air Force Base, at Harry Reid Airport, or in the surrounding Las Vegas area puts you at a crossroads, quick. You're juggling Security Forces, airport procedures, civilian police depending on your location, animal shelters if it's a pet, and a dozen fragmented online groups all posting independently. The channels exist, but they rarely talk to each other, and the burden of staying on top of them all falls on you.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, filed once, reaches Security Forces, the airport, The Animal Foundation, and local community channels at the same time, in the format each expects. Best part, your report doesn't stop working after you hit submit. It stays active, continuously cross-checking new found postings and alerts across the ecosystem for months, alerting you to credible matches so you can focus on other things while the search keeps running.
