How it works
You file a report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to the right responders and channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Universal City Police Department, Animal Care & Control (if it's a pet), local lost & found networks, and community groups where items and animals turn up.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your item description stays active and automatically matches against newly posted found items, marketplace listings, and shelter intakes. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where lost items turn up in Universal City
These are the places and channels your report reaches, and where you can also search or inquire on your own.
Universal City Police Department
Items turned in by residents or found by officers are logged here. We tell you which department holds items, how long they're kept, and the exact steps to claim yours if it's located.
City Hall & Municipal Services
Items left in city buildings or during interactions with municipal staff are often held at City Hall. We know which department to connect you with and what info to provide.
Lost Pet
If your dog, cat, or other animal is missing, Universal City Animal Care & Control is your first stop. Animals are held for 5 days, and the faster you report, the better. You can also post in local pet networks to expand your reach. File a priority lost pet report
San Antonio International Airport
If you lost your wallet, phone, or ring while traveling through SAT, the airport's Lost & Found office can help. We make sure your report reaches them and any TSA office involved.
Community & Social Channels
Local Facebook groups like the Schertz, Universal City, Live Oak, Selma Lost & Found Pets group, Nextdoor, and neighborhood pages are where people post found items and pets. We post your report there so neighbors can help.

The sooner you report, the sooner we search
A fresh report reaches more people and channels while memories are clear and items are still where they were found. Once you've filed, the heavy lifting is ours—your report stays active and matching for months while you get on with your life.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Universal City can feel scattered. Your wallet might end up with Police, a ring at a local shop, a lost pet called into Animal Care & Control on Athenian Drive, or your phone listed in a neighborhood Facebook group. The systems don't talk to each other, so you end up making calls and searching multiple places yourself.
ReportLost takes the confusion out of that. One report goes to all the right places at once, and your description stays active, automatically hunting for matches across local networks and shelters for months. You can focus on your day while the search continues in the background.
