How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather exactly what the sheriff's office and community networks need to know.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office property division, local businesses and public spaces, and relevant social networks so it reaches people who can help.
Your report keeps searching
For the entire duration of your search period, we continue matching your description against new found items, posts, and reports. You get alerts if a credible match surfaces, so you can move on instead of checking daily.
Where Things Turn Up in Hidden Valley
Here's what to know about each recovery channel, and how ReportLost helps you hit all of them at once.
Dearborn County Sheriff's Office
The sheriff's office property and evidence division accepts reports of lost items and holds found goods for a set period. When you report through ReportLost, we identify the right precinct and property desk for your location and pass along the key details so your report lands in the right hands.
Local Shops & Public Places
Wallets, phones, glasses, and other items often surface at restaurants, gas stations, parks, and community centers in Hidden Valley. ReportLost helps you compose and share the exact details you need when contacting these places, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Lost Pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, the Dearborn County Animal Control and local rescue networks are your lifeline. Speed and visibility matter most with lost animals. File a priority lost pet report to get your pet's photo and details to shelters and rescue groups immediately.
Community Networks
Hidden Valley residents share lost and found posts on Nextdoor, Facebook groups, and Reddit. ReportLost makes sure your report reaches these channels so your neighbors see it and can help.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Time matters, but you don't have to chase every lead yourself.
The sooner you report, the faster your information reaches the people who can help. After that, your report stays active and searching on your behalf. No daily double-checking, no missed posts. Just a clear signal out there, and a notification the moment something credible turns up.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hidden Valley can feel scattered, especially when found items end up in different hands, different offices, and different community channels. Between the sheriff's property room, neighborhood social posts, and local businesses, there's no single place that ties everything together.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, one clear routing, and then your signalement keeps working for you automatically. While you go about your day, we're checking whether your wallet, ring, cat, or keys has turned up anywhere in the local network. You'll hear from us only if there's a real lead to follow.

Questions About Lost & Found in Hidden Valley
How long does the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office hold lost items?
The sheriff's property division typically holds items for 30 to 90 days before they may be disposed of or auctioned. The exact holding period can vary, so check with the office directly at 812-537-3091. ReportLost ensures your report reaches them quickly so your item gets logged and held under your name.
Where do I claim my lost item if it's found?
If your item is found and reported to the sheriff's office, you'll need to visit or contact the property division at the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office to verify it and arrange pickup. ReportLost will notify you if a match is found so you know exactly what to expect.
Can I report a lost pet through ReportLost?
Yes. If your cat or dog is missing, use our dedicated lost pet report feature to get maximum visibility with animal shelters, rescue groups, and the community. <a href="/report-lost-pet">File a priority lost pet report here</a>.
What if my item is found after a long time?
Your ReportLost report stays active for your entire search period (12 months, depending on your choice). Even if an item surfaces weeks or months later, our system continues to cross-check new found items and community posts against your description. You'll get an alert if there's a credible match.
Do I need to pay for a police report if I use ReportLost?
ReportLost is separate from a police report. For stolen items (as opposed to simply lost), you may need to file a separate police report with the sheriff's office. We'll help you understand the difference and route you to the right channel.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the sheriff's office?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office or any government agency. We work alongside official channels to make sure your report reaches all the right places, and we keep your signalement active and searching. We never replace the sheriff's office, law enforcement, or official property divisions, but we make the process faster and more coordinated.
