Where Items Turn Up in Big Spring
Know your options. Here's where to look and how ReportLost points you in the right direction.
Big Spring Police Department
The police handle lost-and-found reports and maintain a log of items recovered in the city. We identify which precinct or unit covers your loss location and supply you with the exact details and urgency level to use when you contact them.
Big Spring City Hall & Municipal Services
City Hall coordinates with multiple departments and can sometimes hold items temporarily or connect you with the right service. We let you know which department to ask for and what info they'll need.

Big Spring Animal Shelter & Animal Control
If your pet is missing, the Animal Shelter and Animal Control are your first stops. The shelter holds animals and coordinates with local rescues. For a lost pet, your ReportLost report includes immediate notification to these services, plus community groups like Big Spring Lost and Found Animals. File a priority lost pet report

Report my lost item →Big Spring residents know the frustration: you lose your keys downtown, your wallet at a local business, or a pet near Marcy. Then you're juggling calls to the police department, checking multiple Facebook groups, scrolling through Nextdoor posts, and hoping someone at the Animal Shelter has your dog. By the time you've contacted all the right people, days have passed, and you've duplicated effort across systems that don't talk to each other.
ReportLost cuts through the noise. You describe your loss once, and we connect it to every relevant authority and community channel in Big Spring, from the police on West Highway 80 to the shelters and the active lost-and-found Facebook groups. Then your report keeps working for you: it stays in circulation, matching against new found items and posts for months, so you can breathe and get on with your day while the search continues behind the scenes.
