Where to report a lost item in Antioch
The main channels and how ReportLost connects them for you
Antioch Police Department
The police non-emergency line is the first place to report lost property. They log items, store them briefly, and post found items on their social channels. We tell you the exact precinct details and generate the report info they need.
Village Hall and Township Services
The Village of Antioch and Antioch Township maintain lost & found records for items left in public buildings and parks. Calling ahead helps you describe your loss and understand their hold period. We make sure you know which office to contact and what to tell them.
Pace Bus Lost & Found
If you lost your wallet, purse, or phone on a Pace bus in the Antioch area, Pace holds items at their customer service center. Items are logged and stored for two weeks. We submit your lost report directly to Pace so they flag your item immediately.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, time matters. Lake County animal services, local shelters, and Facebook groups like Lost Pets of Lake County Illinois actively search for missing animals. A dedicated lost pet report spreads faster and stays searchable longer. File a priority lost pet report.

Don't let your lost item slip through the cracks
The sooner you file a report, the sooner all the right channels in Antioch know to look. Once submitted, you can stop worrying about calling around; your report is already working.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Antioch means scattering your search across the police non-emergency line, local Pace bus services, community Facebook groups, and the township lost & found. Each place keeps items for only a few weeks, and without a coordinated report, items slip through the cracks. ReportLost bundles all those channels into one clear action, so your item gets flagged everywhere it matters.
Once you file a report with us, the Antioch Police Department, transit services, and local community networks all have the details. Better yet, your report doesn't disappear after a day or a week, it stays active for up to a year, continuously cross-checking new found items and posts against your description. That means your wallet, ring, or dog has a better chance of finding its way home, and you can finally take a breath instead of worrying you've missed a post.
