How ReportLost works in O'Fallon
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where it went missing, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right O'Fallon services and search locations.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to O'Fallon City Hall, the relevant local police channels, St. Clair County transit and animal services if applicable, and we post to community networks where O'Fallon residents actively search.
Automated monitoring finds matches
For the next 12 months, we scan social media, classifieds, and local lost-and-found posts across O'Fallon and nearby areas. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert, and you can skip the daily search yourself.
Where to report and what ReportLost handles
Take a direct action if you prefer, or let our team manage the coordination.
O'Fallon Police Department
The O'Fallon Police Department takes lost property reports for items missing in the city. Going directly, you'd need to contact the station, describe your loss, and follow up on their timeline. We identify the correct department for your situation and frame your report to speed the process.
O'Fallon City Hall & Administration
Lost property at city buildings, public events, or common areas is often reported through the City Clerk's office at O'Fallon City Hall. You could call or visit in person; we handle the details and follow-up for you.
St. Clair County Transit Lost & Found
Items left on MetroLink or MetroBus routes are collected at the dispatch office. You'd normally call with your description and details; we know which route segment to reference and what information they need to locate your item quickly.
Lost Pet Report
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in O'Fallon, contact St. Clair County Animal Services immediately to file a missing report and visit the facility to search in person. We work with local shelters and animal rescue networks to spread the word. For a dedicated lost pet process with extra visibility, file a priority lost pet report.

Questions about losing something in O'Fallon
How long does St. Clair County Animal Services hold a found pet?
Stray animals are typically held for a period of time before transfer or adoption. Contact St. Clair County Animal Services at (618) 235-0585 ext 3 to confirm hold times and check whether your pet is in their care.
What's the best way to report something lost on a bus?
Call the St. Clair County Transit District directly with your bus route and a description of the item. If you know the specific route, mention it; if not, describe when and approximately where you were riding. ReportLost compiles these details for you.
Can I report a loss that happened a few days ago?
Yes. While reporting sooner is better, items do turn up days or weeks later. ReportLost's monitoring continues for 12 months, so even delayed reports have time to surface matches. File a report whenever you realize something is missing.
Do I need to visit O'Fallon City Hall in person to file a report?
Not necessarily. You can start with a phone call to the City Clerk's office at (618) 624-4500 ext 8715, but ReportLost handles the reporting and coordination so you don't have to navigate phone trees or repeat yourself multiple times.

ReportLost scans social media, classifieds, and community posts continuously. When a match that fits your description, location, and timeline appears, we send you an alert immediately. You won't have to manually check Facebook groups or Nextdoor every morning.

No. ReportLost is an independent service that coordinates with local authorities and services on your behalf. We don't replace police reports or official channels; we streamline the process of getting your loss in front of the right people and then monitor for matches automatically.
