How ReportLost works in Morris
You submit your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to notify the right Morris authorities and community channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Morris Police Department, City Hall, Grundy County transit, and relevant local Facebook groups and community pages. You don't have to contact each one individually.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and matches against new found item reports across local channels. We alert you if a credible match surfaces, so the search continues even when you're not actively looking.
Where your lost item might be in Morris
Here's what to know about each reporting channel, and how ReportLost handles it for you.
Morris Police Department
The Morris Police Department accepts lost and found reports at their station on East Chapin Street. They log items and keep them for a set period. When you report through ReportLost, we file on your behalf and make sure your contact information is recorded so they can reach you if something matching your description turns up.
City of Morris
City Hall coordinates with local departments and can advise on where items are most likely to have been turned in. ReportLost helps you identify the right city contact and ensures your report is filed in the official city system so it's tracked alongside police records.
Grundy County Transit
If you lost something on a Grundy County bus or at a transit facility, their lost and found holds items for a limited time. ReportLost tells you exactly which transit lost and found to contact and what information to provide, so you don't waste time calling the wrong office.
Lost pets
If you're missing a dog, cat, or other pet, Grundy County Animal Control is your first stop. They reunite lost pets with owners and maintain a registry. You can also post in local lost pet groups and community networks. File a priority lost pet report to activate dedicated pet search support.
Local businesses and public places
Lost items at shops, restaurants, or public spaces in Morris are often held at the business itself. ReportLost helps you craft messages to post in the right community channels to alert local businesses and residents who might have seen what you're looking for.

The sooner you report, the better your odds
Lost items move fast, and the first hours matter. Once you file a report with ReportLost, your information is out to the Morris Police, City Hall, transit services, and community groups within hours. Then you can rest knowing your report stays active and keeps searching for you.
Report my lost item →In Morris, lost items can scatter across different systems quickly: the police department handles reports, the city runs its own channels, Grundy County transit has separate lost and found procedures, and the community spreads word through Facebook groups and local networks. Coordinating across all of them takes time you might not have when you're already stressed about a missing wallet, ring, or phone.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches the Morris Police, City Hall, transit services, and active community spaces all at once. Better yet, your report doesn't just sit there, it stays active and keeps searching for a match during your entire recovery period, automatically cross-checking new found posts so you can focus on other things while we keep working for you.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Morris
How long does the Morris Police Department keep lost items?
The Morris Police Department holds lost items for a set retention period (check with them directly at 815-942-2131 for the current timeframe). This is why reporting quickly and staying in touch is important. Once you file with ReportLost, we keep your report active so we continue checking for matches even after your initial report is filed.
What if I lost something on a Grundy County bus?
Contact Grundy County Transit directly, or ReportLost can file the report for you. Items held at their facility are kept for a limited time before disposal, so prompt action matters. We'll make sure your claim is in the system and stays tracked.
Where do I pick up a found item from Grundy County Animal Control?
Grundy County Animal Control is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm, at 310 East Dupont Road, Morris. If your pet or a found item related to pets is there, you can pick it up during those hours with proper ID.
Can I report a lost item to multiple places at once?
Yes, and that's exactly what ReportLost does for you. Instead of calling the police, City Hall, transit, and posting in Facebook groups separately, we file your report across all the right channels simultaneously. It saves time and increases the chance someone sees your report.
What happens after I report my lost item to ReportLost?
Your report is filed with the Morris Police Department, City of Morris, Grundy County transit, and posted to active community channels. Then your report stays active for your chosen search period (12 months), continuously cross-referencing new found items posted locally so you don't have to check every group and listing every day.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Morris Police Department or City of Morris. We don't replace an official police report, we complement it. When you report through us, we file your information with the appropriate Morris authorities and community channels on your behalf. For legal purposes (insurance claims, theft reports), check with the Morris Police Department directly at 815-942-2131.
