Automated web monitoring finds matches
While you go about your day, our system scans the web 24/7, tracking Facebook community groups, local marketplaces, and public posts. The moment someone posts a found item that matches yours, we alert you with the details.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Springfield
Here's what you need to know about Springfield's lost and found resources.
Springfield Police Department
The Springfield Police Department's Lost/Found Animal desk handles reports of lost or found items. You can call during business hours to file a report or ask if an item matching yours has been turned in. We identify your exact location and ensure your report reaches the right precinct.
City of Springfield
Springfield's main municipal office can direct you to the appropriate city department or service for your lost item, depending on where it was lost or what type of item it is. We generate the exact information you'll need to provide when you call.
Public Transit
Springfield residents can contact local transit services if an item was left on a bus. Each operator maintains a lost and found and will hold items for a limited time. We connect you with the right contact for your situation.
Lost Pet Reports

Many Springfield retailers, restaurants, and community centers maintain their own lost and found areas. If you remember the specific location where you lost your item, contact that business directly. We provide you with a checklist of places to reach out to based on your loss location.

Found what you're looking for?

ReportLost simplifies the whole process. Instead of calling around, posting on multiple Facebook groups, and refreshing community boards every morning, you file one report with us. We notify the Springfield Police Department and all relevant local channels, then keep watch on the web for you. Our automated monitoring scans social media, community posts, and online marketplaces continuously, so if your lost item turns up, you'll know right away.
