How ReportLost Works in Grosse Pointe Woods
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include details like color, brand, or any distinguishing marks. We ask the right questions to capture everything the police and local services will need.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes directly to Grosse Pointe Woods Public Safety, the Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society (if it's a pet), and gets shared with active local social channels. No busy signal, no multiple phone calls, no email sent to the wrong department.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For the entire duration you choose (12 months), your report automatically matches against new found items posted in community groups, shelter bulletins, and marketplace listings. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, without having to refresh Facebook or call around yourself.
Where Items Turn Up in Grosse Pointe Woods
These are the places to check, and where ReportLost reports for you.
Grosse Pointe Woods Public Safety
Lost items turned in to the police are held at the Public Safety office on Mack Plaza. Items are typically retained for 30 days. ReportLost files your report directly with them so they have your contact info on file and can reach you if something matches.
Grosse Pointe Woods City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department depending on where your loss occurred. If you lost something at a city park or recreational facility, they'll know where to point you. We handle the coordination so you don't have to make the calls.
Lost Pets Need Fast Action
The Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society (GPAAS) in Harper Woods is the local hub for lost and found pets. They maintain a registry, post alerts, and reunite animals with owners. If it's a cat or dog, every hour counts. File a priority lost pet report to alert them and the community immediately.
Detroit Metropolitan Airport (20 minutes away)
If you lost something while traveling through DTW, contact the airport's Lost and Found directly. Items are held for 30 to 60 days depending on the location (TSA checkpoint, terminal, baggage area). ReportLost can also track this for you across the recovery period.
Shops, Restaurants & Community Spots
Lost something at a local store, coffee shop, or restaurant on Mack Avenue or in the Woods? Call the business directly first, but also report through ReportLost so we can note it with the police and active community channels. Many items do surface at local businesses within a few days.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Report Early, Search Longer
The sooner you file a report, the sooner we begin matching and the longer your search window becomes. Once submitted, you can breathe easy knowing your report is continuously working across all the right channels in Grosse Pointe Woods.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Grosse Pointe Woods means piecing together a fragmented puzzle. Your wallet might end up with Public Safety, a ring could be turned in at a local shop, a lost cat gets reported to the animal shelter on Harper Avenue. Meanwhile, neighbors post finds on the Grosse Pointe Lost and Found Facebook group, and you're left juggling phone numbers, office hours, and hoping you don't miss a post.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we connect your loss to every relevant channel at once, then keep your report actively searching for a match throughout the entire recovery window. You can focus on your day while your report works continuously in the background.

What if I lost something on a SMART bus?
Contact SMART (Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation) directly at their Lost and Found office. They're open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. ReportLost can note this in your recovery plan if needed.
