How ReportLost works in Oak Brook
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the exact details needed for authorities and community alerts in Oak Brook.
We route it to the right places

Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report remains active and continues to match against new found item posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts in the Oak Brook area, so you don't have to check every day.
Where lost items end up in Oak Brook
Know your options, but let us do the legwork
Oak Brook Police Department
Many items turned in by residents or businesses go to the Police Department's lost and found. If your loss involved a crime or occurred on a public road, this is often the first place to check. We tell you which desk to contact and what information to have ready.
Village Hall
Oak Brook's Village Hall coordinates lost item reports and can point you to relevant departments or help you file an official report. We ensure your loss gets logged with the right contact person.
Oakbrook Center
If you lost your item at the outdoor mall, Oakbrook Center's Security Office maintains a lost and found. We generate the exact details they'll need to search their system for you.
Lost pet
Found a stray dog or cat, or yours is missing? Contact South Suburban Humane Society or Cook County Animal Control immediately. Time matters with pets. For a comprehensive search that keeps running automatically, file a priority lost pet report
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Start with a single report
The sooner you report your loss, the sooner local channels and our network can begin working on it. Once you've filed with ReportLost, your information reaches the right places and your report begins its active search period.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Oak Brook means reaching out to separate places: the police department, Village Hall, local shops, and community Facebook groups. Each one handles lost items independently, and it's easy to fall through the cracks if you don't know who to contact first or if you can't check every channel regularly.
ReportLost simplifies that. You file one report with us, and we handle routing it to the Oak Brook Police Department, Village Hall, and all the right local channels. Better yet, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match automatically, even while you're sleeping or busy, so you can stop worrying about whether your wallet, ring, or phone might show up tomorrow.
