Don't let your lost item sit unreported
The sooner you report, the sooner it can be found. Once your report is filed, our team takes it from there, reaching out to police, transit, and community channels on your behalf. You can breathe easy knowing the search is active and ongoing.
Report my lost item →Losing something in La Grange means checking multiple systems: the police non-emergency line, transit agencies if it happened on a bus, community Facebook groups, and local shelters if it's a pet. Each place operates separately, and a wallet or ring can slip through the cracks between them. By the time you've called everyone, hours have passed and your item has moved or been picked up.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we notify the La Grange Police Department, CTA and Pace Customer Service, active community groups, and other relevant local channels all at once. Then your report stays active in the background, automatically cross-referencing new found item posts and alerts for a match, so you can focus on your day knowing the search is underway.
