For your entire search period, your report stays active and automatically checks new found items, community posts, and local channels for matches. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears.
Where and How to Report in Fox River Grove
Your options: go direct to each service, or file one report with us and we handle the routing.
Fox River Grove Police Department
The Police Department accepts lost and found reports and maintains a lost and found log. You can call the non-emergency line to report an item or ask what's been turned in. We generate the exact details to include when we submit on your behalf.
Village of Fox River Grove Administration
The Village Hall can assist with lost and found inquiries and direct you to the appropriate department. Open weekdays 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We make sure your report reaches the right desk so you don't have to navigate the transfer yourself.
Pace Bus Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Pace bus or at a Pace facility in the Fox River Grove area, report it to Pace Customer Service. Items are held for a limited time. We point you to the right reporting process and track your report with them.
Lost or Found Pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Fox River Grove, local animal rescues and the wider McHenry County network help reunite families. Many found pets surface in community alerts and shelter networks. File a priority lost pet report with us to reach pet-specific channels and maximize visibility.

Time matters, but you're not alone.
The sooner you file a report, the better your chances of recovery. Once your report is in the system and routed to the right places, you can focus on other things. We keep searching for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Fox River Grove can feel isolating. Whether it's a wallet at a local business, a phone on Pace transit, a ring at home, or a beloved pet, you're suddenly juggling the police department, multiple lost and found offices, Facebook groups, and neighborhood alerts all separately. Each system works on its own timeline, and items disappear from lost and found inventories within weeks.
ReportLost simplifies all of that. One form. One report that reaches the Fox River Grove Police Department, the Village, transit services, and the community channels where locals actively post found items. And here's what makes the difference: your report doesn't just sit in a filing cabinet. It stays active for your entire search period, automatically cross-checking new posts and announcements against your description so you're not refreshing pages every day hoping for a match.
