How ReportLost works in Maywood
You describe what you lost
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, transit lost and found, and community groups.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Maywood Police Department, Village of Maywood services, Pace Bus (if relevant), and local Facebook and community networks where Maywood residents actively share found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and searches for matches. Every new found item post, every community listing, every lost and found update gets cross-checked against your description. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back yourself every day.
Where to report a lost item in Maywood
If you prefer to file reports yourself, here's where to go.
Maywood Police Department
File a lost property report at the police station or by phone. The non-emergency line is available during business hours. We'll let you know which precinct covers your loss location and draft the information they need.
Village of Maywood (City Hall)
The Village Clerk's Office and City Administration can help direct lost items that end up with village services. Contact the main village line for guidance on where your item might be held or reported.
Pace Bus Lost and Found
If you lost something on a Pace Bus route or at a Pace facility, call their customer service line. Items are logged and stored for a set period. We'll help you determine which Pace route applies and generate the details for your call.
Building and Code Department (Animal Control)
Report a lost or found pet through the Building and Code Department, which handles animal control for Maywood. South Suburban Humane Society also covers the area. To file a priority lost pet report with full social alerts and shelter coordination, file a priority lost pet report.

Starting your report takes just a few minutes
The sooner your report is active, the sooner the system starts matching your lost item against found posts and community leads. Once it's submitted, you're free to focus on other things; your report handles the ongoing search.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Maywood means contacting separate channels: the police department, the village clerk's office, Pace Bus if you lost it in transit, social media groups, and animal control if it's a pet. These systems don't talk to each other, so your best bet goes from place to place, and once the initial report fades, it's easy to miss a match that surfaces days or weeks later.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report reaches everyone who can help you, and because your report stays active for your full search period (12 months), you don't have to revisit Facebook groups or call Pace every week hoping someone found your item. The system keeps working while you move on with your day.
