Where to report and what ReportLost handles
Below are the official channels you can contact directly. When you file with ReportLost, we do the routing for you.
Linton Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found log and can file an official report. They're located at 190 NW A St and are open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ReportLost submits your report directly to them so you don't have to make the call yourself.
City Hall
City Hall at 86 S Main St can direct you to relevant city services and sometimes holds found items reported by the public. Open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a lunch closure from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ReportLost ensures your loss gets noted in the right municipal records.
Lost or Found Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the Greene County Humane Society is your fastest resource. They maintain lost and found records, coordinate with animal control, and post found animals on community networks. Time matters for pets, so reach out immediately and file a priority lost pet report to ensure your animal gets on every local search channel.
Community and Social Networks
Linton residents share lost and found alerts on Facebook groups like 'Lost and Found Pets in Greene County, Indiana,' Nextdoor, and other local community pages. ReportLost posts your report to these networks, and neighbors often spot items or pets there before official channels.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Linton, whether it's a purse left at a downtown shop, a set of keys mislaid near Main Street, or a beloved pet gone missing, sends you on a frustrating hunt across separate police records, lost and found groups, animal shelter listings, and local social media posts.
