How ReportLost Works
You submit your report
Tell us what you lost, where and when, and any identifying details. We generate a complete record tailored to Missouri City's systems.
We route to the right channels
Your report goes directly to the Missouri City Police Department's support services, city administration, transit lost and found, and local online communities where found items typically surface.
Automated monitoring finds matches
We scan social networks, marketplace listings, and community posts continuously for months. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert. No need to check Facebook groups or Nextdoor yourself every single day.
Where to Report and How We Help
Missouri City has several official channels. We connect you to all of them and monitor for you.
Missouri City Police Department
The Police Department's Support Services division handles lost and found reports and keeps records on file. They are staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We ensure your loss is logged correctly and provide the exact location and contact details to reach them.
City of Missouri City Administration
City Hall and the general support line can direct you to the appropriate department and help coordinate with other city services. They operate Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. We generate the information you'll need to provide and track which office handles your particular item type.
METRO Transit Lost and Found
Items left on Missouri City's METRO Park and Ride buses are collected and held. Contact METRO Customer Service to check if your item has been turned in or to file a report. We tell you exactly which route or stop to reference and provide the correct contact method.
Houston Airports (IAH & HOU)
If your loss occurred at George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) or William P. Hobby (HOU) while traveling through the area, both airports have dedicated lost and found offices with extended hours. We provide their phone numbers and locations so you can file a report immediately.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Missouri City, the Animal Services division manages lost pet reports and maintains records. They work closely with local animal shelters and rescue networks. Pets need urgent attention, which is why we prioritize these reports with continuous web scanning and alert monitoring.

The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins.
Every day that passes means fewer eyes on the ground and less recent social media activity to scan. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, you've set everything in motion at once, and our monitoring takes over immediately. There's nothing more you need to do until we find a match.
Report my lost item →Missouri City residents and visitors misplace items everywhere, from the METRO Park and Ride stops to shopping corridors and public spaces. What makes recovery hard is that lost and found information lives in separate places, police reports go one direction, transit has its own system, and word-of-mouth spreads unevenly across Facebook and Nextdoor.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One submission, and we ensure the right people are notified while our technology watches the web continuously on your behalf. Instead of spending weeks calling police, checking transit, and scrolling through social posts daily, your report starts working for you immediately and keeps searching automatically.
