Where to report a lost item in Alamo
From police to local businesses, here's what each channel does
Alamo Police Department
The police department holds unclaimed property and maintains a lost and found log. You can call to report a loss and inquire about found items during business hours. We tell you which precinct covers your location and help draft the right information for your report.
City Hall
Alamo's municipal office can direct you to the right city department or service depending on where you lost your item and what type of property it is.
Local shops and businesses
If you lost your wallet, phone, or bag at a store, restaurant, or public venue in Alamo, that business is often the first place it turns up. Staff can check their lost and found and log your details. We point you to the exact business and help you prepare what to say.
Lost pets
