How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, transit, and local services.
We route to the right places
Your report reaches the Plano Police Department, DART (if transit-related), the Plano Animal Shelter (for pets), and other relevant local channels—so you don't have to contact them individually.
We monitor for matches automatically
Our system scans Plano-area Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, marketplace listings, and social media for found items matching your description. We alert you instantly if a credible match appears, so you're not checking websites and community boards every day.
Where to Report in Plano
Here's what ReportLost does for you behind the scenes.
Plano Police Department
For lost items found in public spaces or businesses, the Plano Police can file an official report and hold recovered items. You can report online or by phone. We identify the right reporting method for your location and draft the information police need.
DART Lost & Found (Bus Transit)
If you left something on a DART bus in the Plano area, call or visit DART's Lost & Found office. Items are typically held for 90 days. We notify DART with your exact route and time so they know where to look.
DFW and Dallas Love Field Airports
Traveling through the Dallas-Fort Worth area? Both major airports have lost and found offices. DFW's office is in Terminal E baggage claim, and Love Field is on the second level. We send your details to both if your loss occurred during air travel.
Lost Pet? Priority Alert
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Plano, time matters. The Plano Animal Shelter maintains a virtual lost and found map and can help you search. Report to the shelter, PawBoost, and active Plano pet recovery groups. For urgent help, file a priority lost pet report with us.
City of Plano
For items lost or found at city facilities, parks, or public buildings, the City of Plano can help coordinate. We identify which city department is most relevant to your loss location.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Plano can feel overwhelming. Whether it's left on a DART bus, dropped in a downtown shop, or forgotten at the airport, you're juggling calls to the police department, DART customer service, the animal shelter, and countless Facebook groups. Each service handles reports separately, and nobody's watching the web for you while you move on with your life.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report flows to all the right local authorities and services, and we keep searching the public web, social channels, and marketplaces on your behalf for months. You report once, then we handle the rest—so you can focus on other things while our automated monitoring works around the clock to find a match.
