How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where you lost it in Milford, and any identifying details. We guide you through every field to make sure the description is strong enough to match when someone reports a find.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Milford Police Department, the appropriate Village or Township office, Oakland County Animal Control if it's a pet, and active local lost-and-found networks all at once, so you don't have to make multiple calls or visits.
Your report keeps searching
For the next 12 months, your report automatically cross-checks new found items, social posts, and community announcements against your description. We alert you the moment a credible match appears, so you can follow up right away without having to refresh websites every day.
Lost & Found in Milford
Where your lost item might be, and how ReportLost connects you
Milford Police Department
The Milford Police Department holds items found in public spaces and takes lost item reports. If your loss occurred in the village, they're your first official channel. We generate your report and ensure it reaches the right desk.
Village of Milford & Township Offices
Lost items reported to or handed in at Village Hall are logged and held for pickup. Our team tells you exactly which office covers your loss location so you don't end up at the wrong desk.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog or cat, Oakland County Animal Control maintains a database of strays and found pets. Local feed stores and community groups also post sightings. We'll make sure your pet is registered and actively searched, then file a priority lost pet report to reach every network at once.
Local Shops & Public Spaces
Items left behind at restaurants, stores, gas stations, and parks often end up behind a counter or in a back office. We point you to the venues most likely to have found what you're looking for and help you ask the right questions.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.

The sooner you file, the sooner your report is working for you. Every day counts when it comes to lost items.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Milford can feel like searching in the dark. The Milford Police Department, Village offices, local pet shelters, and community groups all hold found items, but they operate separately. You end up calling around, posting on multiple Facebook groups, and checking back constantly, with no guarantee anyone will find what you're looking for.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report reaches all the right channels at once, and your description stays active in the search for months, automatically matching against new finds so you can stop worrying and get back to your day. Whether it's a wallet, a ring, a cat, or a dog, we make sure the hunt doesn't stop until you get answers.

Questions About Lost & Found in Milford
How long does the Milford Police Department hold found items?
Found items held by the police are typically kept for 90 days. After that, they may be donated or disposed of. That's why filing a report quickly with us helps, since your description stays active beyond that window.
What if I lost my item in Milford Township instead of the village?
Milford Township and the Village of Milford are separate jurisdictions. Both have police and administrative offices on Atlantic Street. We identify which one likely has your item based on where you lost it and route your report accordingly.
How does the Oakland County Animal Control process work for lost pets?
If a stray dog or cat is brought in, Oakland County Animal Control holds it for a set period and posts information online. You can call 248-858-1070 or search their database. We also ensure your lost pet report reaches them and stays active with local Facebook groups and PawBoost.
Can I check if my lost item has been found without filing a report?
Yes. You can call the Milford Police Department at 248-684-1815 or visit Village Hall. But if nothing turns up, filing a report with ReportLost means we'll keep searching for months and alert you automatically if a match appears.
What if my lost item was in my car or a taxi?
Items left in personal vehicles or ride-shares should be reported directly to the driver or the company. If you also file a report with us, we can help guide you to the right contact and keep your description active in case the item surfaces elsewhere.
Is ReportLost.org an official Milford service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service. We are not affiliated with the Milford Police Department, the Village, or any government agency. We work alongside official channels to amplify your search, speed up reporting, and keep your case active for months at no extra effort from you.
