Where lost items go in LaSalle
Here's what happens when something goes missing and where to look, but ReportLost connects all these dots for you in one step.
Police Department & Lost Property
The LaSalle Police Department accepts lost property reports and maintains a log. Call their non-emergency line to report lost items or inquire about what's been turned in. We handle the contact and file your report with the right department so you don't have to navigate phone trees yourself.
City Hall & Administrative Services
LaSalle City Offices can direct you to the right department for lost items and provide information on local procedures. They also connect you with the police administrative services division, which handles lost property inquiries. When you report through us, we make sure City Hall has your details.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in LaSalle County, contact LaSalle County Animal Control immediately. They maintain records of lost and found animals and can help reunite you with your companion. There are also active community networks dedicated to lost pets in the area. For fast action and ongoing search support, file a priority lost pet report with us.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Each day that passes makes it harder to track a lost item. Filing your report today means we start matching immediately, and your item stays on our radar for months to come. Once submitted, you can step back, knowing the search is actively underway.
Report my lost item →Losing something in LaSalle means reaching out to separate places, each with different hours and procedures. The police take reports, local shops and transit centers hold items temporarily, animal control handles pets, and community groups buzz with found posts scattered across Facebook. By the time you've contacted everyone, details blur and momentum fades.
ReportLost shortcuts that frustration. File once, and we route your report to the LaSalle Police Department, LaSalle County Animal Control, and the community networks where locals post found items. Better yet, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match throughout your entire search period, so you're not glued to your phone refreshing groups every hour. Once you've reported, the system searches for you.

Questions about reporting lost items in LaSalle
How long will the police department hold a lost item?
The LaSalle Police Department typically holds lost property for a period of time before disposition. Contact them at 815-223-2131 (non-emergency) to ask about their specific retention policy and whether your item has been turned in. When you report through ReportLost, we ensure police have your contact information and description right away.
What if my lost pet goes to LaSalle County Animal Control?
If your pet is found in an unincorporated area of LaSalle County, it will likely be taken to LaSalle County Animal Control. Call them immediately at 815-434-8661. Check in regularly, as animals have limited hold periods. Also contact Illinois Valley Animal Rescue at 815-224-0061 for help locating your pet. Filing a lost pet report with us ensures the broader community and these services are alerted simultaneously.
Can I report a lost item found in the City of LaSalle and unincorporated LaSalle County through one report?
Yes. When you report through ReportLost, we route your information to both the LaSalle Police Department (for items within city limits) and LaSalle County authorities (for unincorporated areas), so you don't have to file twice.
How often should I check on my lost item?
Instead of checking daily yourself, file a report with ReportLost and let our system search for you. Your report stays active and automatically matches against new found items posted in community channels and local facilities for 12 months, with alerts sent directly to you when a credible match appears.
Which local Facebook groups should I join to post about my lost item?
The most active groups are 'Lost & Found Pets in LaSalle County, Illinois' and 'Lost and Found Pets in LaSalle-Peru, Illinois.' ReportLost shares your report across these networks so you don't have to manually post and monitor each one.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We don't replace the police or animal control, but we accelerate your access to them. We ensure your report reaches the LaSalle Police Department, LaSalle County Animal Control, and active community channels immediately, and then our system continues searching on your behalf for months. Think of us as your advocate who makes sure every relevant local service has your information and keeps an eye out without you having to.
