Frequently asked questions
How long does Grosse Pointe Farms Public Safety keep lost items?
Items held at Public Safety are typically kept for 30 to 60 days before disposal, though valuable items like jewelry and wallets may be held longer. Your report staying active with us means we continue searching even if the initial holding period passes, increasing your chances of recovery.
What if I lost my item on a bus or shuttle?
Call PAATS at (313) 394-9712 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) to ask about your lost item. SMART Bus Lost and Found is also available. We provide you with the exact contact info and help you prepare the details they'll need.
Can I report my loss without visiting City Hall or the Police Department in person?
Absolutely. You can file a report with ReportLost online, and we route it to the appropriate departments and community channels on your behalf. For official documentation, you may eventually need to visit Public Safety at 90 Kerby Road (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), but ReportLost handles the initial routing and ongoing search.
What should I include in my report to improve the chances of finding my item?
Be as specific as possible: the exact location where you lost it, the date and time, color, brand, size, and any distinguishing marks or serial numbers. If you lost jewelry or a bag, mention any engravings or unique features. The more detail, the easier it is for finders and our automated matching to identify your item.
How long does my report stay active with ReportLost?
Your report stays active and continues searching for matches for your entire search period, up to 12 months. During that time, we automatically check new found item posts, community announcements, and local alerts against your description. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears.
