Where Lost Items Are Reported in Fortville
Official channels and community networks you can reach directly, plus what ReportLost handles for you
Fortville Police Department
The Fortville Police Department is the official starting point for lost item reports and can help connect you with items turned in to their office. They're located at 714 East Broadway Street and can be reached during business hours or by emergency line. ReportLost notifies the police on your behalf and makes sure your report includes all the details they need to help if an item is brought in.
Fortville Town Hall
Town Hall is a hub for town services and can provide guidance on where items have been reported or turned in. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and staff can answer questions about local lost and found procedures. ReportLost ensures your information reaches the right desk so you don't have to navigate options yourself.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in the Fortville area, local humane societies, animal shelters, and dedicated pet lost and found networks are your first step. The Hamilton Humane Society and Humane Society of Tipton County service the region, and community groups like Fortville Pets on Facebook help reunite families with missing animals. Pet reports often move faster because of how organized these networks are. To maximize your chances, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost as well, which gives your pet dedicated visibility.
Community Networks
Fortville residents and neighbors connect through Facebook groups dedicated to lost and found items and pets. Local Nextdoor posts, Facebook community pages, and word-of-mouth are powerful tools for spreading the word fast. ReportLost amplifies your reach by making sure a single, well-crafted post reaches the channels where locals are actively looking and sharing found items.

Don't Let Your Lost Item Fade
The first hours and days matter when you've lost something. Acting quickly and getting your report in front of the right people increases your chances significantly. Once you submit your report to ReportLost, you can focus on other things while your search continues automatically in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Fortville can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure where to start. Between the police department, local lost pet networks, community Facebook groups, and the various places you might have left an item, it's easy to fall through the cracks. What makes it harder is that each channel operates separately, so a ring found at a local store might never reach you, and a wallet recovered by a good samaritan might end up in a desk drawer with no way to trace the owner.
ReportLost simplifies all of that in one step. You file one report, and we take it from there, notifying the Fortville Police Department and alerting the community channels where found items surface. The big difference, and what saves you time and stress, is that your report stays active and keeps searching automatically for months. Instead of refreshing Facebook groups or calling around town every morning, your submission continues to hunt for matches, and we alert you the moment a credible lead appears.
