Where lost items go in Long Grove
Know the official channels, or let us connect you to them.
Long Grove Police & Public Safety
Items found on the street, in shops, or during a crime report go through the Public Safety office. They log them and hold them pending pickup. ReportLost submits your report directly to the right department so you don't have to figure out which precinct covers your location.
Village of Long Grove
Village Hall handles lost items reported at public facilities and coordinates with local services. We generate the exact details and contact information you'll need to file with them, or we send it on your behalf.
Pace Bus (Regional Transit)
If you lost your item on a Pace bus serving the Long Grove area, items are held and logged. Call Pace's customer service and they'll check their found inventory. We can point you to the right number and what information to have ready.
O'Hare Airport (Nearby)
Traveling through Chicago's main hub? Lost items found in the terminals, on shuttles, or at security are handled by the Airport's Lost & Found and airline services. ReportLost can guide you to the right department based on where you lost your item.
Lost Pets
Missing a cat, dog, or other pet in Long Grove? Shelters, rescue groups, and animal services in Lake County coordinate with community alerts. Our network includes local shelters and animal services.

The sooner you report, the better.
Every day counts in a search, and the first few hours set the tone. Once you've filed with ReportLost, you're connected to the authorities and communities that matter, and your report is actively working for you. No stress about repeating yourself or missing a channel.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Long Grove means navigating separate systems: the police department, the village offices, local Facebook groups, and Nextdoor posts all operate independently. The moment you file with one, you're still not reaching the others. If your wallet, ring, phone, or pet goes missing, the clock matters, and so does coverage.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we forward your report to Long Grove Public Safety, the Village administration, and the community channels where locals report found items. Then your report stays active, automatically cross-checking new posts and found announcements for months, so you can focus on your day while we keep the search alive behind the scenes.
