How ReportLost works in Monticello
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the exact details needed for every local office.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Monticello Police Department, Drew County Sheriff, and relevant lost & found channels. No runaround.

For 12 months, your report matches against new posts, marketplace listings, and found-item reports. We alert you instantly if a credible match appears. You don't have to re-post or check every forum yourself.
Where to report a lost item in Monticello
We can submit to all of these for you. Or handle it yourself using these resources.
Monticello Police Department
The Police Department maintains lost and found records for items turned in by the public or found during routine patrols. They also file official reports if theft is suspected. We let you know which precinct or desk handles your loss and submit the correct details on your behalf.
Drew County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers the broader Drew County area and operates its own lost property procedures. For losses outside the city limits or in county jurisdictions, they're often the first responder. We determine if your loss falls under their jurisdiction and submit accordingly.
Local businesses & public spaces
Items left at shops, restaurants, libraries, or parks in Monticello often end up behind a counter or in a back office. Calling directly usually reaches the manager or owner who can confirm whether your wallet, purse, or personal item has been turned in. We generate a template so you know exactly what to ask.
Lost pet networks
Monticello has active lost-pet communities on Facebook and through local animal care providers like Monticello 2nd Chance Fur Dogs and Monticello Animal Clinic. If your cat or dog is missing, time matters. We help you file a priority lost pet report that reaches shelters, vets, and rescue groups instantly.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
The first hours and days after a loss are critical. Once you file with ReportLost, our team routes your report immediately and your item enters an active matching system. You're no longer playing catch-up on social media or making cold calls. Let us handle the coordination.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Monticello means navigating multiple channels: the Police Department on Church Street, the Sheriff's Office downtown, local Facebook groups, veterinary clinics if it's a pet, and word-of-mouth through the community. Each office keeps its own records, and popular items often surface weeks later on Nextdoor or in a local business's lost bin. By then, many people have already given up looking.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, filed once, reaches all the right people and stays active in the background for months. We connect with the Monticello Police Department, local lost-pet networks, and community channels so you can focus on your day. Your item isn't forgotten, and neither are you.
