How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right local channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Peru Police Department, relevant city services, and social networks where locals post found items. We handle the legwork.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found item posts, marketplace listings, and local announcements. You'll get an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Peru
Your local channels for filing a report and checking found items
Peru Police Department
The Peru Police Department handles lost and found reports and can advise you on retrieval. They're open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We can route your report directly to the right department and provide the exact details to include when you contact them.
City of Peru Government
City Hall coordinates municipal lost & found inquiries and can point you to the right department. Our service generates the exact information to include when reaching out to city services.
Local Retailers & Businesses
Cafes, shops, gas stations, and restaurants throughout Peru hold onto lost items for a period. If you lost something at a specific business, calling them directly is often your fastest option, but we can help you organize and track those inquiries.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Peru or the surrounding Miami County area, local animal rescues and community groups are actively searching. Contact local shelters and post in community pet networks immediately. To maximize your chances with a dedicated search strategy, file a priority lost pet report.

Why act now?
The sooner you report your loss, the fresher the trail. Once your report is active, you can rest easy knowing that every new post about found items in Peru will be checked against your description automatically. Let us do the daily checking for you.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or cherished item in Peru can feel overwhelming. Between the Peru Police Department, city services, local Facebook groups, and retail lost & founds, you'd normally spend hours contacting each place separately, only to find that no one has a central record of what you're looking for. By the time you've made all those calls, precious time has passed.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report reaches the right officials and your community at once, and your loss stays in active search mode for months. Instead of you checking Nextdoor, Facebook, and calling around repeatedly, your report continuously cross-references new found item posts and announcements automatically, alerting you the moment a match appears. You can focus on life while we keep your search alive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Peru Police Department hold found items?
Most lost items held by the police are kept for a period of time before disposal. We recommend contacting the Peru Police Department at (765) 473-2150 to confirm the current hold period and retrieval procedures for your specific item.
Can I file a report by phone with the Peru Police?
Yes. You can call the Peru Police Department non-emergency line at (765) 473-2150 during their office hours (weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.). ReportLost lets you file once and we notify them and other channels on your behalf.
What if I lost my item at a local business?
Call the business directly first, as they often have items immediately available. Our service then ensures your loss is also reported to wider local networks and services, so if someone finds a similar item elsewhere, it can still be matched to you.
How do I search for my pet in Miami County?
Post in the local lost pet Facebook groups, contact animal shelters, and call rescues immediately. For a comprehensive search with ongoing monitoring, file a priority lost pet report through ReportLost to ensure your pet is listed across all local networks.
Will ReportLost replace the police report I file?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that complements official channels. We help you report to the right authorities and amplify your search across local networks, but filing a police report directly with the Peru Police Department or checking their property room remains important for official documentation and retrieval.
