Where to report a lost item in Avon
Official channels in Avon and Hendricks County, plus what ReportLost does on your behalf
Avon Police Department
The primary place to file a report for lost items. Contact the non-emergency number during business hours to file a report. We handle the details and direct the report to the right desk so you don't have to know which precinct or department handles property reports.
Avon Town Hall
Town Hall can direct you to specific lost and found services or help if your item was lost in a municipal building or public facility. We identify the right department and provide all the contact info you need.
Lost pet reports
If you've lost a pet, Hendricks County Animal Services and local rescue networks are your lifeline. Report immediately to animal control, then amplify the search through Hendricks County Lost/Found Pets on Facebook and IndyLostPetAlert. To ensure your pet gets the fastest, broadest coverage, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost as well.
Local businesses and public places
Lost something at a store, restaurant, park, or community center? Call the location directly first, but also file a report with us. We post to community channels so people scanning local lost and found groups see your item, not just the business's back counter.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Why act now?
The first hours after you lose something are critical. Items get moved, thrown away, or reclaimed by others quickly. Filing a report today with Avon police and posting to the community right away dramatically improves your odds. Once your report is live, the search happens automatically for months, so you can breathe easy knowing it's being actively monitored.
Report my lost item →In Avon, lost items end up scattered across separate channels: the police non-emergency line, Hendricks County animal control (for pets), local Facebook groups like Hendricks County Lost/Found Pets, and various community networks. Most people spend days calling around and refreshing Facebook to track down what they've lost. The real frustration is that a found item may already be posted somewhere, but you'd never find it without checking every single group and office yourself.
ReportLost collapses that effort into one action. You describe your loss once, we handle the routing to Avon PD, city services, and the community channels where Avon residents post and look for found items. Then your report stays active for your entire search period, automatically comparing new found-item posts and alerts against your description. You don't have to be a detective; your report works for you.
