How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details you'd need to provide to multiple places, so you only describe it once.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Justice Police Department, local lost and found services, and community channels. We generate the exact information each one needs and submit it for you.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and searches for matches across new found item posts, community announcements, and lost and found listings. You get an alert the moment we find a credible match.
Where to report a lost item in Justice
Direct channels to contact, and what ReportLost does for you
Justice Police Department
The Justice Police Department's non-emergency line can log your report and hold it in their records. Items turned in to police custody are stored and matched against incoming reports. With ReportLost, we provide the Justice Police Department with your full description and loss details so you don't have to call or visit in person.
Village of Justice Hall
Justice Village Hall manages administrative services and can point you to the right department or facility where your item might have been turned in if lost at a public building or village event. We confirm which department or facility is most likely to have your item and what information they need from you.
Pace Bus (Public Transit)
If you left your item on a Pace bus serving the Justice area, call Pace Customer Service to report it. Lost items are held for a limited time before being cleared, so quick reporting matters. ReportLost can generate a Pace report for you with the correct route and timing details.
Chicago Midway & O'Hare Airports
If your loss occurred at either Chicago airport, each has its own lost and found operation. Midway and O'Hare handle thousands of items but hold them only temporarily. We make sure your report reaches the correct airport terminal section and gets logged in their system.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog or cat in Justice or the surrounding area, the South Suburban Humane Society and local animal control are the first places to report. Community Facebook groups dedicated to lost pets in the Justice and Hickory Hills area also reunite many animals with owners. We help you file a priority lost pet report across all the right channels at once. File a priority lost pet report

Ready to file your report?
The sooner you get your item into the system, the sooner the search begins. With ReportLost, one report reaches all the places that matter in Justice, and your item stays actively matched for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Justice can mean contacting the police, checking community Facebook groups, calling bus services if it was left on transit, and then waiting and hoping someone posts about finding it. These systems don't talk to each other, so your item gets scattered across different places and you have to chase leads on your own.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report reaches the Justice Police Department, local lost and found operations, and the active community channels where Justice residents post discoveries. Once your report is filed, you can stop worrying about it. Our system keeps your item actively matched against new found postings and announcements for your entire search period, sending you an alert if a match looks promising. You describe your loss once, and we handle the rest.

Questions about reporting lost items in Justice
How long does the Justice Police Department hold lost items?
The Justice Police Department stores lost items and logs them in their system, but like most police departments, items are typically held for a limited time before being cleared or sent to donation centers. Reporting quickly improves the chances that your item is still there when you check. Once you report with ReportLost, we make sure the police have your contact information and description.
What if I lost something on a Pace bus?
Call Pace Customer Service at (847) 364-7223 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM). Items found on buses are logged and held for a set period. Have your route number and approximate time ready when you call. ReportLost can help you prepare this information and submit it to Pace.
Where do I check if my item was turned in at Village Hall?
Contact the Justice Village Clerk's Office at (708) 458-2520 or email clerk@villageofjustice.org. If your item was found at a public village facility or event, it may be logged there. We can reach out to the right department on your behalf.
I lost my dog in Justice. What should I do immediately?
Contact South Suburban Humane Society at (708) 470-6950 and your local police department. Post in the Lost & Found Pets (Hickory Hills, Justice, Bridgeview & Willow Springs) Facebook group immediately. Then file a priority lost pet report with us so your dog stays actively matched against all local shelters and community posts for months.
How long will ReportLost keep searching for my item?
Your report stays active for either 12 months (depending on your selection when you file). During that time, your report is regularly matched against new found item posts, community announcements, and lost and found listings. You receive an alert if a credible match appears, so you don't have to monitor community channels yourself.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We are not part of the Justice Police Department or any government agency. We simplify the reporting process by routing your information to the right official departments and community channels, and we keep your report actively searching for matches over time. The police, Pace Bus, and other services we contact handle the actual item custody and recovery.
