How ReportLost works in Huntington
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, transit, airport staff, and community finders.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the appropriate local authority: the police precinct covering your area, Tri-State Transit if it's on the bus, airport lost & found if applicable, and we post an alert to active Huntington community groups and feeds.
Automated monitoring finds your item
Our system scans local Facebook groups, Reddit, Nextdoor, marketplaces, and community posts continuously for weeks. The moment someone posts "found" matching your description, location, and timeframe, we alert you. No daily checking required.
Where to report and what ReportLost does
These channels handle lost items in Huntington. You can contact them directly, but ReportLost does it for you and keeps watching.
Huntington Police Department
If you lost your item in a public space or suspect theft, file a report with the police. They maintain lost and found records and can document your claim. We identify the correct precinct based on your loss location and generate the exact details for your report.
City of Huntington Services
City Hall coordinates lost items recovered in public areas and city facilities. They can connect you with the right department depending on where you lost your belongings. We direct your report to the appropriate city office and follow up on your behalf.
Tri-State Transit Authority
Left something on a bus or at the transit center on 4th and 13th? Tri-State maintains a lost and found for all items recovered aboard vehicles and in their facilities. We submit your report directly and check their records so you get a faster response.
Tri-State Airport Lost & Found
Misplaced a bag, phone, or documents at Tri-State Airport (HTS)? The airport's lost and found desk retrieves items left in terminals, security, or baggage areas. We make sure your report reaches them and monitors their updates.
Lost & Found Pets
If your pet has gone missing, contact the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Control Shelter immediately. They house strays and reunite lost animals with families. We alert you to matching found pets posted across local shelters and community groups, and we help you file a priority lost pet report.

Start your report today
The sooner you report your lost item, the sooner our monitoring system kicks in. Every hour counts, and once your report is filed, our team takes over the detective work.
Report my lost item →Huntington's lost and found system is fragmented. The police take reports, Tri-State Transit has its own lost & found for buses, the airport handles terminals, animal shelters cover pets, and dozens of community Facebook groups buzz with found-item posts every day. Tracking down your lost item means calling multiple offices, joining several groups, and refreshing feeds constantly, hoping your belongings turn up.
ReportLost streamlines this chaos. One report, one submission. We know who to contact at each agency, what information they need, and which community channels matter in Huntington. Most importantly, our automated monitoring watches the web for you, across all local platforms, for months. You report once, then go about your day. We'll reach out the instant a credible match surfaces.
