How ReportLost Works
You Tell Us What You Lost
Share details: what you lost, where, when, and how to recognize it. We capture everything needed to alert the right local departments and community groups.
We Route It to Glenview's Key Channels
Your report reaches the Glenview Police Department, City Hall, Pace Bus lost and found, local Facebook groups, and Nextdoor. No more calling ten numbers yourself.
Your Report Keeps Searching While You Move On
For your entire search period, your report stays live and automatically matches against new found item posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook groups and lost pet pages yourself every day.
Where to Look & How ReportLost Helps
Below are the key channels where found items surface in Glenview. ReportLost notifies them all for you, and monitors for matches on your behalf.
Glenview Police Department
The Police Department receives lost and found reports and holds items at their main facility on East Lake Avenue. Call their non-emergency line during business hours, or submit a report in person. ReportLost tells us the right contact and generates the report details for you.
City of Glenview
City Hall and the Management Services office (847-724-1700) can assist with items lost in public spaces, municipal facilities, or parks. They also serve as a central point to escalate lost item inquiries. We connect you with the right department contact.
Pace Bus Lost & Found
If you left an item on a Pace bus or at a Pace facility in Glenview, contact Pace Customer Service directly. They hold items for a limited time, so reporting promptly improves your chances. ReportLost ensures Pace is notified right away.
O'Hare International Airport (Nearby)
If your item was lost at O'Hare during a trip from or through Glenview, O'Hare's Lost and Found office can help. Contact O'Hare Airport Transit System (OATS) or the airline. ReportLost can guide you on which O'Hare department to notify based on where you lost your item.
Lost Pet
Losing a pet is urgent. Kane County Animal Control and local shelters actively maintain lost and found pet records. Post immediately to Facebook groups like "Lost Dogs Northwest side of Chicago" and Nextdoor, and contact the county. For a faster, coordinated alert, file a priority lost pet report.
