Where to Report in Cold Spring
Know your options. Here's where lost items typically end up, and how ReportLost saves you the calls.
Cold Spring Police Department
The police keep records of lost and found items and can advise on recovery. We tell you exactly which details matter for your report and follow up on your behalf.
Campbell County Animal Services
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, Animal Services holds found animals on a stray hold and coordinates with local rescues. Lost pets often turn up here within days, but speed matters. File a priority lost pet report and we'll alert them right away.
City of Cold Spring
The city offices can point you to the right department and help with paperwork or records. We handle the routing so you're connected to the exact desk that covers your loss.
Community & Social Channels
Lost and found posts spread fast on Facebook groups and Nextdoor. We post your report to the right communities so neighbors and local eyes can help. Check back for matches without having to manage multiple groups yourself.
Bluegrass Airport
If you lost an item at or near the airport (about 30 minutes away), Bluegrass Airport has a dedicated lost and found office. We'll note your loss location so it reaches the right facility.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we can help.
Once your loss is submitted, the hard part is done. We get your report into the system, alert the right offices and community groups, and then keep it active so you don't have to.
Report my lost item →Cold Spring spreads across neighborhoods, parks, and shopping areas, and losing a wallet, phone, ring, or pet here means contacting the police, animal services, and multiple Facebook groups separately. Each office keeps its own records, and by the time you've cycled through them all, a crucial window has closed.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report with us, and we route it to the Cold Spring Police Department, Campbell County Animal Services, and active local community channels all at once. Then your report stays active in the background, cross-checking new found posts and alerts for 12 months, so you can move forward with your life instead of refreshing your phone every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Cold Spring Police Department hold lost items?
The police typically hold lost property for 30 to 90 days depending on the item and circumstances. Filing a report with us immediately ensures your loss is documented and actively tracked during this window, and our alert system keeps looking even if the police release it to another channel.
How long will Campbell County Animal Services hold a stray pet?
Stray animals are usually held for 5 to 10 days before being made available for adoption or transferred. Time is critical for lost pets. Filing a priority lost pet report with ReportLost gets your pet's information to Animal Services and local rescue networks right away.
Should I call the police non-emergency line or go in person?
Both work, but calling (859) 441-6289 or the dispatch line (859) 292-3622 gets faster documentation. ReportLost generates the exact report details for you and routes it, so you can choose whichever option feels right without scrambling for what to say.
If my item is found on Facebook, how will I know?
We monitor the community groups we post to and send you alerts when a credible match appears. You don't have to refresh Facebook every morning, and you won't miss a find because we're checking the most active Cold Spring and Campbell County community channels continuously.
What if I lost something at a business or restaurant?
Contact the business directly first, as they often hold items at the front desk. ReportLost also routes your report to local community channels so other eyes can help, and maintains your search record in case the item resurfaces elsewhere.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not a replacement for them. We are not affiliated with the Cold Spring Police Department, Campbell County Animal Services, or any other government agency. We handle the coordination and ongoing alert work for you, but your report remains active through official channels as well as community networks.
