How long does the Middletown Police Department keep lost and found items?
The police department typically holds items for a set period before they're disposed of or donated. When you file a report with us, we flag your item with the department so they know it's actively being searched for, which can affect how long they keep it. Check directly with the police at (502) 574-5471 for specific retention policies.
Can I file a lost item report by phone with the Middletown Police?
You can call the non-emergency number at (502) 574-5471 to ask about reporting procedures, but filing through ReportLost ensures your report reaches all relevant channels at once and stays active in the search. This is faster and more thorough than making individual calls.
What if I lost something on a LexTran bus?
LexTran's lost and found can be reached at (859) 253-INFO (4636), open Monday-Friday 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. When you report through ReportLost, we provide them with your description and contact info, and we also check their incoming lost items against your report.
