How it works
You tell us what was lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it, and any details that might help. We'll handle all the rest.
We route your report to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Tiffin Police Department, City Hall, relevant Facebook groups, and animal control (if it's a pet). No back-and-forth calling on your end.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report automatically compares new found items and posts against your description. We alert you the moment we spot a credible match.
Where to report your loss in Tiffin
These are the official channels you can contact yourself, but ReportLost handles the routing for you
Tiffin Police Department
The Tiffin Police Department takes non-emergency loss reports and can direct you to where items typically turn up. We'll identify the exact precinct and details needed so your report is filed correctly on the first try.
Tiffin City Hall
City Hall coordinates lost items found in public spaces and can connect you with the right department. We'll generate the exact information to share so they get what they need to help track down your belongings.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Tiffin, contact animal control immediately. Time matters when searching for a missing companion. Local shelters and the Facebook group dedicated to lost and found pets in the area are critical resources. For the fastest results and continuous monitoring, file a priority lost pet report with us so your pet's information reaches all the right places at once and stays searchable for months.
Community & Social Channels
Tiffin's active Facebook community and neighborhood groups are where many lost items get reported and found. We'll post your report to the most relevant groups so locals can spot and report matches.

Start your search now
The sooner you file a report, the sooner it can start working for you across all channels. Once it's in the system, your report stays active and continues comparing new found items with your description for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Tiffin can feel scattered: the police handle some reports, City Hall manages certain channels, Facebook groups buzz with posts, and animal control works independently. Without a central way to connect all these places, you end up making multiple calls and monitoring different sites for weeks. That's time you don't have and energy you shouldn't waste.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File one report with us, and we make sure it reaches the Tiffin Police Department, City Hall, active community groups, and animal control. Then your report stays active and keeps searching for matches continuously, so you can take a breath while the system works for you.

Frequently asked questions
What do I do if I lose something in a local business or restaurant?
Call the business first to ask if they've recovered your item. Then contact the Tiffin Police Department at 319-356-6800 to file a non-emergency report. We'll make sure your description reaches both places and stays in the system.
How long will my report stay active?
Your report remains active for your entire search period, up to 12 months. During that time, it automatically compares new found items and posts against your description, and you'll be alerted if we spot a match.
What if I lost my pet in Tiffin?
Contact animal control immediately at 319-356-5295 (Johnson County), and post to the Lost/Found Pets Facebook group. File a priority lost pet report with us so your pet's information reaches all local shelters, control offices, and community channels simultaneously and stays searchable for the full recovery period.
How do I pick up a found item from the police or City Hall?
Once you locate your item, the police department or City Hall will let you know the pickup process and any requirements (like proof of ownership). Call 319-356-6800 or 319-545-2572 to arrange the details.
Can I report a loss that happened in Iowa City or Coralville too?
If you lost an item in a neighboring city, check with that city's police or lost and found services first. ReportLost can help you file reports across multiple jurisdictions, and we'll route information to the relevant channels in each area.

ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Tiffin Police Department or any government agency.
