How ReportLost works in Itasca
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's a wallet, phone, ring, or pet, we gather the details once.
We route your report to the right places
We contact Itasca Police, Village Hall, the relevant transit authority if needed, DuPage County Animal Services (for pets), and post your report to active local social groups so the community can help.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to cross-check new found posts, marketplace listings, and announcements. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to refresh social media yourself every day.
Where to look and how we help
Each channel below accepts reports. Filing with ReportLost routes your information to the right places automatically.
Itasca Police Department
The Itasca Police Department receives lost and found reports at their main office. We generate the exact information they need and ensure your report reaches the right desk. Items are typically held for a standard period while they log and catalog them.
Itasca Village Hall
Village Hall serves as a central point of contact for community services, including lost items reported to the municipality. We help you identify which department handles your specific loss and deliver your report.
Pace Bus Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Pace bus or at a Pace facility, items are logged and can be retrieved through their customer service. We tell you which office holds items from your bus route and help you file a claim.
Lost Pet Reports
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Itasca, DuPage County Animal Services is your primary contact. We connect you immediately and post your pet's information across local pet recovery networks. For faster results, file a priority lost pet report with us to activate immediate alerts.
O'Hare International Airport
If you lost something at O'Hare or on a flight, contact the airport's lost and found. Items are held and cataloged by department. We guide you through the exact process and help document your claim.

The sooner you file, the sooner we can alert local services and community channels. Once your report is in, we take it from there, so you can focus on your day while we work to find your lost item.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Itasca, whether at a local business, on the street, or on a Pace bus, usually means contacting the police, checking multiple Facebook groups, and calling around to different departments. Each office keeps items for different lengths of time, and there's no single place tracking whether your belongings show up later. That scattered approach costs you time and often ends in frustration.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. File one report with us, and we handle routing it to the Itasca Police Department, Village Hall, DuPage County Animal Services (if you've lost a pet), and the active Itasca community channels. The key difference: your report doesn't disappear after you file it. It remains active for your entire search period, automatically cross-checking new found posts and announcements so you can move forward instead of spending weeks refreshing websites and groups.

Frequently asked questions
How long do the Itasca Police and other local services keep lost items?
The Itasca Police Department typically holds items for a set period before disposal or donation. Pace transit holds items for a limited time before they're cleared. Once you file with us, your report stays active for 12 months, so you're covered even if an item resurfaces later after being temporarily misplaced or found weeks after the loss.
What if I lost something on a Pace bus? Do I contact the bus company directly?
You can contact Pace directly at (847) 364-7223 or file with us. We'll route your report to Pace's lost and found system and their customer service team, and your report will stay active to catch it if someone turns it in later.
How do I claim my pet if it's found by DuPage County Animal Services?
Contact DuPage County Animal Services at (630) 407-2800 as soon as possible during their hours (12 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.). Filing a report with ReportLost ensures your pet is registered across multiple channels. If you file a priority lost pet report with us, we also alert local rescue and recovery networks immediately.
Can I report items lost at O'Hare if the loss happened during my trip?
Yes. Contact O'Hare's lost and found directly, and file with us to keep your report active. O'Hare holds items but with specific timelines, so our ongoing search is a useful backup if you find it later or if it takes time to retrieve.
What makes ReportLost different from just posting on Facebook or calling the police myself?
You can certainly do both. ReportLost saves you the time of contacting each office separately, crafting the perfect post for multiple groups, and following up. We route everything at once and keep your report searchable and active for months, automatically cross-checking new found posts and announcements so you don't have to refresh social media daily.
Is ReportLost.org an official Itasca service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that partners with and routes reports to official Itasca agencies, Pace, DuPage County Animal Services, and local community channels. We are not affiliated with the Itasca Police Department or Village Hall, but we work on your behalf to reach them and the community quickly. The police and local services handle the actual lost and found process.
