The sooner you report, the better your chances
Every hour counts when an item goes missing or a pet runs away. Getting your details in front of the right people immediately gives you the best shot at recovery. Once your report is filed with us, our team takes over routing, and your item stays in active search mode while you breathe easier.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Wyldwood can feel isolating, especially when the police department, animal shelter, transit services, and community groups all operate separately. A wallet left at a coffee shop, a phone on the bus from Austin, a beloved pet wandering near Cedar Creek, a ring lost at a local business, a backpack from a trip to town, a purse left behind at a restaurant—each one requires you to call different numbers, file reports in different systems, and check multiple Facebook groups and online marketplaces obsessively to see if anyone's spotted it.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File one detailed report with us, and we route it to the Wyldwood Police Department, Bastrop County services, and the community channels where locals and lost item hunters are actually looking. Then, for your entire search period (12 months), your report stays active and keeps matching against new found items—no daily checking required. We handle the legwork of staying visible so you can focus on moving forward while still keeping hope alive.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Wyldwood
How long do police and animal services hold lost items and stray pets?
Wyldwood Police and Bastrop County Animal Services typically hold items for 30 to 90 days, though this varies. Stray animals are held for 72 hours before adoption or other actions. Always file a report immediately and confirm hold periods with the department directly. ReportLost ensures you're on their radar from day one and keeps searching in parallel channels long-term.
What if I lost something on METRO or another transit system?
Each transit line operates its own lost and found. METRO holds items for 30 days; call 713-658-0854 (Mon-Fri 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sat-Sun 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to check. We help you identify the right carrier and make sure your report reaches them. Your ReportLost report also searches community posts from transit riders.
My pet is lost in Wyldwood. What's the first thing I should do?
Call Bastrop County Animal Services immediately at 512-549-5160 to report your dog, cat, or other pet. Post on local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. Call Austin Animal Services at 511 or visit 7201 Levander Loop if your pet may have traveled toward Austin. Then file a priority lost pet report with us—every minute counts, and we'll amplify your post across all channels and keep searching for 12 months.
Where do I pick up a lost item once it's found?
For items reported to Wyldwood Police, call 512-471-2600 to confirm it's in their custody and arrange pickup. For METRO items, contact METRO directly. For pets, Bastrop County Animal Services is at their main facility; call 512-549-5160 to confirm. ReportLost will help coordinate these details once you're notified of a match.
Can I search lost item databases online?
Yes. Austin Animal Services maintains an online lost pet registry. Bastrop County and Wyldwood Police may post found items on their websites or Facebook pages. However, manually checking dozens of sources daily is exhausting. That's where ReportLost's active search comes in—your report stays live and cross-checks new matches automatically, sending you alerts instead of requiring you to look everywhere yourself.
Is ReportLost.org official? Do I still need to report to police or animal services?
ReportLost is an independent service created to help you navigate the fragmented lost and found landscape. We are not a government agency. We complement police reports, animal services reports, and transit reports—it does not replace them. You should always file an official report with relevant local authorities (police, animal services, transit). ReportLost then amplifies and automates your search across community channels and keeps your case active long-term, handling the follow-up coordination so you don't have to do it all yourself.
