Where to report a lost item at Lackland AFB
Each channel below holds found items separately. ReportLost alerts them all in one step.
JBSA-Lackland Base Security
Lost something on base? JBSA-Lackland operates 24/7 and maintains a lost & found for items turned in to Visitor Control or security checkpoints. We identify which section of base security covers your location and provide the exact information they need.

San Antonio International Airport Lost & Found
Lost a bag, wallet, or personal item at SAT Airport? The Airport Police Lost & Found holds items and searches claims Monday through Friday. We'll generate a complete report with the exact information they need to locate your item.
Lost & Found Pets

Start with a single report
The sooner you report your loss, the sooner all channels begin their search. Once your report is filed, you can breathe easy, knowing the base, police, airport, and community networks have been notified and will continue matching your item for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something at or near Lackland AFB means navigating multiple systems. Base security, JBSA authorities, San Antonio Police, airport staff, and local community channels all operate separately, and a lost wallet, phone, or ring can easily slip between them. By the time you contact each one, days may have passed.
ReportLost simplifies this. One form gets your loss in front of all the right places at once, and your signalement continues working for you for months afterward, matching your item against found postings and announcements without requiring you to check Facebook groups or call the same numbers repeatedly.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I lose something on JBSA-Lackland base?
Items turned in to base security, Visitor Control, or found near facilities go to the JBSA-Lackland Lost & Found. We route your report directly to base authorities at 210-671-1110. Base security is available 24/7, though you'll likely speak with someone during business hours.
How long does San Antonio Police hold lost property?
San Antonio Police typically holds property for 90 days before it may be disposed of or auctioned. That's why speed matters, but your ReportLost report continues searching even after that window closes, in case the item surfaces elsewhere (sold, donated, posted online).
If I lost something at San Antonio Airport, who should I contact?
The San Antonio International Airport Lost & Found is managed by Airport Police. Call 210-207-3451 Monday through Friday, 7:45am to 3:30pm, or email LostandFound@sanantonio.gov. We generate the exact report for you.
What if my cat or dog goes missing in the Lackland area?
Contact the San Antonio Humane Society (210-226-7461) and City of San Antonio Animal Care Services immediately. Both maintain lost pet databases and microchip registries. Pets are typically held for 5 to 10 days. We connect you to both and alert local rescue networks and Facebook pet groups simultaneously. For priority coverage, <a href="/report-lost-pet"><strong>file a priority lost pet report</strong></a>.
How long is my ReportLost report active?
Your report stays active and continues matching new found postings for 12 months, depending on your choice. You won't have to repost or check daily, and we'll alert you if a credible match appears.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that connects your loss to official channels (base security, police, airport) and community networks all at once. We don't replace those agencies, we simplify reaching them. Your information goes directly to them, and you retain the right to contact them yourself anytime.
