The sooner you report, the better.
The first few hours and days matter when something goes missing. Getting your loss into the system quickly, and into the hands of the Kilgore Police and local groups, improves your odds significantly. Once your report is filed, you can focus on other things, knowing that your search is active and ongoing.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Kilgore throws you into a scramble. You need to call the police non-emergency line, check with Animal Control if it's a pet, post to multiple Facebook groups, and hope someone sees it before it disappears for good. Each service operates independently, and there's no single place to track what's been found.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report reaches the Kilgore Police Department, local animal control, and the community channels where lost items get posted and spotted. Better yet, your report doesn't expire after a day or a week, it stays active and searching for a match during your entire 6 or 12 month search period, so you don't have to.

Questions About Lost Items in Kilgore
How long does the Kilgore Police Department hold found items?
The police typically hold items for a set period before they may be disposed of or donated. Check with the non-emergency line at 903-983-1559 to confirm the current timeline and whether your item has been turned in.
What if I lost something on a local bus?

Can I file a lost pet report with Animal Control myself?
Yes. Call Kilgore Animal Control at 903-988-4120 to file a report. However, filing a priority lost pet report with us ensures your pet gets posted to multiple community channels and stays searchable for months. You're also welcome to do both.
Do I need to check back in person with the police or animal control?
It's a good idea to call first to ask if your item has been found, rather than making a trip. If the police or Animal Control say they have your item, confirm location and hours before going in to collect it.
How long does ReportLost keep searching for a match?
Your report stays active and searchable for your chosen period, either 12 months. During that entire time, new found posts, community listings, and shelter updates are continuously checked against your description. You'll get an alert if a credible match is found.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside the police and local channels, not instead of them. We automatically file reports with the Kilgore Police Department and other official channels on your behalf, and we keep your search active longer than you could manage alone. You're always welcome to contact police directly too.
