Where lost items go in Highland Park
Each channel has its own process. ReportLost connects you with all of them at once.
Highland Park Police Department
The Police Department at 4700 Drexel Drive handles lost property reports and keeps records that can match found items. Call to file a report and check if your item has been turned in. We tell you what details to include and which precinct covers your loss location, saving you time on the phone.
Town Hall & City Services
Highland Park Town Hall can direct you to relevant lost and found offices and may hold items found on town property or at town events. Staff can also point you toward the right department if your item was lost in a specific location. We ensure you reach the right desk without repeating your story multiple times.
Nearby Airports
If you lost something while traveling through the Dallas area, both Dallas Love Field and DFW Airport maintain lost and found offices for items left in terminals or on aircraft. Each has specific procedures and holding periods. We help you determine which airport to contact based on where you traveled.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, contact HP Animal Hospital or the Highland Park Animal Control office immediately. They check for impounded animals and can help reunite you with your pet. The SPCA of Texas also maintains records and can assist with lost pet cases. File a priority lost pet report with us and we'll ensure your pet gets maximum visibility in community channels.
Community & Social Channels
Highland Park residents actively use Facebook groups and Nextdoor to post found items and ask for help locating lost belongings. Local subreddits like r/Dallas also see community posts about lost and found cases. We post your report to these channels and monitor them for matches, so you don't have to refresh social media every day.

File once, and we handle the routing to the Highland Park Police Department, animal services, and the community channels where locals post found items. Better still, your report doesn't stop working after you file it.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Highland Park
How long does the Highland Park Police Department keep lost items?
The police typically hold lost property for 30 to 90 days. It's best to contact them as soon as possible at 214-521-4161 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) to file a report and check if your item has been turned in. Describe it clearly so they can match it to their inventory.
What should I do if I think I lost my ring or wallet in a shop?
Contact the store directly first, then file a report with the Highland Park Police Department. Many local businesses turn in found items to police rather than keeping them in store. Give police a detailed description so they can cross-reference with their lost and found records.

Call HP Animal Hospital at 214-833-9821 right away to ask if the animal has been brought in. Also contact Highland Park Animal Control at 214-363-3000.
