How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, when, and where in Livingston. We gather the details the police, animal shelter, and community groups actually need.
We route it to the right hands
Your report goes to the Livingston Police Department, SPCA of Polk County (if it's a pet), and posted to the local lost-and-found networks so volunteers and neighbors can spot it.
Your report keeps searching for you
We continue matching your item against found posts, lost pet alerts, and marketplace listings for your entire search period. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you can focus on your day.
Where lost items go in Livingston
These are the official channels. ReportLost connects you to all of them in one step.
Livingston Police Department
The main point of contact for lost property reports in the city. They maintain a lost-and-found database and can log your report for follow-up. We handle the details so you give them exactly what they need.
City of Livingston
City Hall can direct you to the right department for items lost at municipal facilities or public spaces. We point you to the right desk and make sure your details reach them.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the SPCA of Polk County and Polk County animal services are your first call. They reunite lost animals with owners and manage the shelter. We also alert local lost pet Facebook groups and networks so your pet's photo reaches hundreds of eyes. To give your lost pet the full advantage, file a priority lost pet report.
Community Lost & Found Groups
Neighbors in Livingston share lost-and-found posts on Facebook, Nextdoor, and local community boards. We make sure your post reaches these active groups so volunteers and residents see it and can help spot your item or pet.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we start working
The first hours and days matter. Once your report is filed, your item is in the system and being tracked across all channels simultaneously. You can stop worrying and let us handle the coordination.
Report my lost item →Livingston is a close-knit community, but losing a wallet, ring, phone, or pet across town, at local businesses, or in neighborhoods can feel isolating. The police, the animal shelter, Facebook groups, and Nextdoor each handle their own corner, and checking them all every day is exhausting.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report, filed once, reaches all the right places at once. Your description stays active for months, continuously cross-referenced against new found posts and alerts, so you're not doing the legwork alone. Report it, and then let the system work for you.

Questions about losing and finding items in Livingston
How long does the police department hold lost property?
The Livingston Police Department typically holds items for 30 to 90 days depending on the type and value. After that, unclaimed items may be disposed of or donated. This is why it's important to file a report right away, and why keeping your report active with ReportLost ensures someone is still looking even as official hold times approach.
Where do I pick up my lost item if it's found?
If your item is logged with the police, you'll be contacted at the number you provided. For items found at specific businesses or facilities (restaurants, stores, the airport), call the location directly. ReportLost makes sure your description is in the system so finders know who to contact.
Can the SPCA help if I lost my cat or dog?
Yes. The SPCA of Polk County (936-755-3020) accepts lost pet reports and houses found animals. Polk County animal services also maintains a searchable lost pet database. Call them immediately and file a report, and also post to the Lost and Found Animals of Polk County Facebook group. ReportLost can coordinate all three channels for you.
What should I include in my report?
A clear description (color, brand, condition, distinguishing marks), the exact date and location you lost it, and the best way to reach you. For pets, include a recent photo. ReportLost helps you structure this information so police, shelters, and community members all get what they need.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
You choose a 6 or 12 month search period. Your report stays active for the entire duration, continuing to match against new found posts, alerts, and listings. You're not paying a monthly fee; you're filing once and letting the system work for you for months.
Is ReportLost official? Does it replace calling the police?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that simplifies the reporting process by routing your information to official channels (police, animal shelter, community groups) all at once. We complement official channels, not replace them. You still own your report, and you decide how to follow up. We just make sure the right people know about your loss without you making ten different calls.
