How ReportLost works
You report the loss
Describe what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right offices and launch a web search.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Woodridge Police Department non-emergency line, DuPage County Animal Services (if a pet), and other relevant local channels. You don't have to call each one yourself.
Automated monitoring finds matches
For 12 months, we scan the web, social groups, and local marketplaces for any post that might be your lost item. When a match surfaces, we notify you immediately so you can claim it.
Where to report (and what we do for you)
Woodridge has several channels for lost items. We coordinate with all of them so you don't have to.
Woodridge Police Department
The police non-emergency line accepts lost property reports and maintains a log of items turned in by residents and businesses. We ensure your loss reaches the right detective or community liaison. Walk-in hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Village of Woodridge (Village Hall)
Many lost items end up reported to Village Hall first, especially if found at a municipal building or park. We generate the right description and details to include so your report is clear and actionable. Village Hall is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Pace Bus (Public Transit Lost & Found)
If you left your item on a Pace bus serving the Woodridge area, customer service maintains a lost and found for two weeks. We help you describe your item accurately and point you to the right form or phone line.
Chicago O'Hare International Airport
If your loss occurred at O'Hare, contact O'Hare's airport transit office. We clarify which department or retailer to reach based on where you lost it (gate area, baggage claim, restaurant, etc.).
Lost Pet Reports
If a cat, dog, or other pet is missing, call DuPage County Animal Services immediately and file a lost report with Petco Love. We coordinate with animal control and monitor local pet recovery groups so you have all angles covered. For a streamlined pet-focused process, file a priority lost pet report with us.
