How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the exact details that matter: color, brand, any identifying marks. Whether it's a wallet, ring, phone, or beloved pet, we get it right.
We route it to the right places
We immediately notify the North Manchester Police Department's lost and found, alert local animal control if it's a pet, and post to community networks that residents actually watch. No runaround, no guessing which office to call.
Your report keeps searching
While you go about your day, your report stays active and keeps checking for matches. We cross-reference new found posts, community alerts, and social channel activity with your description for 12 months, so you don't have to refresh the same pages every day.
Where to report lost items in North Manchester
Start with ReportLost, or contact these offices directly
North Manchester Police Department
The Police Department keeps a lost and found for items turned in by residents and found on local streets. If someone hands in your keys or purse, it ends up here. We tell you exactly which reports to file and what details matter most, so when you call or visit in person, you know what to expect.
Town Hall
North Manchester Town Hall is a central resource for community services and sometimes fields reports of lost items found in public spaces. Calling ahead with a clear description ensures the right staff member has your details on file.
Local businesses & public spaces
Rings, phones, and wallets often land behind counters at shops downtown, in parks, or at community gathering spots. Many business owners check in with the Police Department regularly, but contacting them directly speeds things up. We help you identify which businesses are most likely based on where you lost your item.
Lost & found pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, time is critical. North Manchester has active local pet networks and ties to regional animal control. We immediately alert the right shelters and community groups, and your report stays live to catch any sightings. File a priority lost pet report for faster mobilization.

Common questions about losing something in North Manchester
How long does the North Manchester Police Department keep lost items?
Most police departments in Indiana hold unclaimed lost and found items for 30 to 90 days before disposal. We recommend checking with the North Manchester Police Department at (260) 982-8556 to confirm their retention policy and whether your item has been turned in.
What if I lost my pet in North Manchester?
Act fast. Call the North Manchester Police Department and check with regional animal control. Post immediately in local Facebook groups like 'Lost and found pets of North Manchester Indiana' and 'Lost pets of Wabash and surrounding areas.' Most lost pets are found within the first 24 to 48 hours, usually close to home. File a priority lost pet report with us to amplify your alert.
Can I report a lost item directly to North Manchester Town Hall?
Yes, Town Hall at (260) 982-9800 can accept reports and note details in their system. However, most lost items are officially processed through the Police Department, so we recommend calling both to maximize coverage.
What should I include when I report something lost?
Provide the exact location (street name or business), the date and time you last had it, a detailed description (color, brand, size, any marks or engravings), and a photo if possible. The more specific you are, the faster we can match it to found items and alerts.
How long will ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active for your entire search period, either 12 months depending on your choice at signup. During that time, we continue to check new found posts and community alerts against your description, so you don't have to monitor social channels or call back every week.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We work alongside the North Manchester Police Department and local lost and found offices, not in place of them. We handle routing your report to the right channels and keeping it active while you search, but the Police Department and other official services are still your primary resource.
