How ReportLost works in Alpine
You describe what you lost
Fill out a quick report with details about your item, where it went missing, and how to reach you. We handle the details so you don't have to chase down multiple offices.
We route it to the right places
Your report gets sent directly to the Alpine Police Department, Alpine Animal Services (if it's a pet), and posted to local community channels where Alpine residents actively look for lost items.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report stays active and cross-checks new found item posts, community announcements, and local activity. You get alerted if a credible match surfaces, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups every day.
Where lost items end up in Alpine
Below are the main places people check and report to. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Alpine Police Department
The first stop for reporting lost items in Alpine. They maintain a lost and found database and coordinate with other local services. Call their non-emergency line or visit in person during business hours. We tell you exactly what information to include and route your report directly to their system.
City of Alpine
The city office handles administrative lost and found inquiries and can direct you to the right department depending on where your item was lost. Typically open Monday through Friday, 8am to noon and 1pm to 5pm. We generate the exact details you need to report, saving you from making multiple calls.
Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport
If you lost an item at the airport or during travel, contact the airport directly. They maintain their own lost and found for items left in terminals or on the tarmac. Hours vary, so call ahead to confirm they have your item or to file a report.
Lost pets in Alpine
If your cat, dog, or other pet has gone missing, Alpine Animal Services is your lifeline. They hold found animals, post photos to their social channels, and work with the community to reunite pets with their families. Time matters with pets, so reporting immediately increases your chances. File a priority lost pet report to get extra attention.

Where to file your report
The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins. Alpine's community is helpful and responsive, especially when they know what to look for.
Report my lost item →Alpine is a tight-knit community, but losing a wallet, ring, phone, or beloved pet can feel isolating fast. Between the Alpine Police Department, Animal Services, local Facebook groups, and the scattered lost and found offices around town, figuring out where to report your loss can waste hours you don't have.
ReportLost cuts through that confusion. One report, one form, one moment of action. We make sure the right departments hear about your loss, we post to the channels where locals actually look, and we keep your search running in the background for months. After you submit, you can take a breath. Your report is working for you.

Questions about lost items in Alpine
How long does Alpine Animal Services hold lost pets?
Contact Alpine Animal Services at 432-837-9030 or 432-837-3486 to ask about their holding period for strays. Quick reporting is essential for pets, as timelines can be short. Your ReportLost pet report reaches them immediately and stays active to match against newly found animals.
Where do I claim a lost item I've already reported to Alpine Police?
Call the Alpine Police Department at 432-837-3486 during business hours. They'll confirm if your item has been found and where to pick it up. Items are typically held at the police station or transferred to city services depending on what was found.
What if I lost my wallet or phone at the airport?
Contact the Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport at 432-837-5929 immediately. They maintain a lost and found for airport property. Provide details about where you think you left it. Airport staff are usually quick to reunite travelers with valuables.
Do local shops and restaurants keep lost and found items?
Many do, but they vary in how long they hold items and whether they report to a central database. When you file a ReportLost report, we help ensure local business owners are made aware of your loss through community channels, increasing the chance someone will recognize your description.
Can I search for my lost item online?
Alpine Friendly Pets and Alpine Community Chat on Facebook are good starting points for pets and general items. However, scrolling these daily is exhausting. A ReportLost report automatically cross-checks new posts and alerts you if a match appears, so you can relax knowing the search is running in the background.
Is ReportLost.org official? Do I need to report to the police myself too?
ReportLost is an independent service that connects you directly to official channels like the Alpine Police Department and Animal Services. We're not affiliated with the city or police, but we route your report to them on your behalf. We speed up the process and keep your search active longer than a single report typically would, but filing a report also gives you the added layer of official documentation if needed.
