How it works
You tell us what you lost
Fill out a quick report with details about your item, where you lost it, and when. Include photos if you have them.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Joshua Police Department, City Hall, local animal control (if it's a pet), and the Facebook groups and community channels where locals actively post found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
We continue matching your description against new found item posts, community announcements, and local listings for 12 months. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can focus on your day instead of scrolling.
Where to report a lost item in Joshua
Here's what happens when you file with ReportLost, and where you can also reach out directly if you prefer.

The local police department maintains records of lost and found items and can connect you with any items turned in to their office. We tell you which precinct handles your neighborhood and generate the exact info to include in your report.
Joshua City Hall
City Hall can help you navigate where to file a report and often knows about lost items turned in to public buildings and offices around town. We handle the outreach so you can skip the back-and-forth.
Joshua Animal Services

Questions about reporting lost items in Joshua
How long does Joshua Police Department keep lost and found items?
Most police departments in Texas hold lost items for 30 to 90 days before disposal. Joshua Animal Services may hold pets longer, especially if they're microchipped or identifiable. It's important to report quickly so your item is logged before it enters the system.
Can I file a lost pet report directly with Joshua Animal Services?
Yes. Contact Joshua Animal Services at 817-774-9450 to report a lost pet. They maintain a lost and found album on their Facebook page and will post your pet's description. ReportLost ensures your pet is also shared with police and all active local pet recovery groups.
What should I include when I report a lost item in Joshua?
Include the item's description, the exact location and date you lost it, your contact information, and any identifying details (color, brand, serial number if available). Photos help a lot. ReportLost generates the optimal format for each channel so nothing gets lost in the translation.
If I report with ReportLost, do I still need to call the police?
We contact the police and all key services for you and post to community channels. If your item is extremely valuable or a crime is involved, calling 817-556-6045 (non-emergency) directly is also a good step, and we'll coordinate with their records.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active and searching?
Your report stays active for 12 months, continuously matching against new found item posts, community alerts, and local listings. You don't have to check back or repost; our system works for you in the background.
