Where to report lost items in Clinton
The key local channels we reach on your behalf
Clinton Police Department
The police maintain a Property and Evidence office where found items are logged and held. If you've lost something in a public place, on a street, or suspect theft, the police are your primary contact. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and alert them about your case.
Property and Evidence: 563-243-1455|Police Department main line: 563-243-1458
City of Clinton Administration
City Hall may hold lost items reported to general city services or found in municipal buildings. For lost property in public spaces or city facilities, the city administration can often help track down where an item ended up. We direct your report to the right department.
MTA Transit (Clinton Bus Service)
If you left something on a bus, MTA Transit maintains a lost and found. Items are held at their main office. Acting quickly gives the best chance of recovery. We help you provide the exact route and time information they need.
Clinton Municipal Airport
Lost items at the airport, including in the terminal or parking area, are tracked by Airport Customer Service. Whether you lost a bag, keys, or personal effects, the airport maintains a lost and found system. We point you to the correct process and timeframe.
Lost Pet Networks
Clinton County's animal community is active and organized to reunite lost pets with their owners. The Clinton Humane Society keeps records of found animals, and multiple Facebook groups post sightings daily. We ensure your lost pet report reaches all these channels simultaneously. If you've lost a pet, file a priority lost pet report instead.

The sooner you report, the better
Lost items move quickly. Someone who finds your belongings may hold them for only a few days before disposing of them or posting them online where you might not see. Filing a report right away puts your case in motion with police, transit, airport, and local community groups all alerted at once. After that, your report keeps working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Clinton means checking the police lost and found, calling MTA Transit, visiting the airport office, posting in Facebook community groups, and hoping someone posts a photo in the right place at the right time. These systems don't talk to each other, and neither do they reach everyone. The result: many lost items go unclaimed simply because the person who found them posted in a different group or channel.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one detailed report, and we notify every relevant office and community channel in Clinton. More importantly, your report doesn't sit idle after you submit it, it stays active and keeps searching for a match throughout your subscription period. You handle the initial reporting, then rest easy knowing the search continues automatically.
