Where Lost Items Go in Monroe
Understanding the local system and how ReportLost connects you to each channel.
Monroe Police Department
Items turned in to Monroe Police are logged in their system. You can call their non-emergency line to ask about your specific loss. We'll provide you the exact details and location info they need to search their database efficiently.
Monroe County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office handles lost and found property at the county level and can take online reports for lost items. We'll make sure your loss details reach them and point you to their official channels if you want to follow up directly.
Lake Erie Transit
If you left your phone, wallet, or keys on a bus, Lake Erie Transit maintains a lost and found. We'll make sure transit is aware of your loss and provide you their direct contact for quick follow-ups.
City Hall & Public Spaces
Items left at Monroe City Hall, downtown locations, or city parks often end up at the main desk or in police custody. We'll include City Hall contact details in your report so you know where to check.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Monroe County, the Humane Society of Monroe County and Monroe County Animal Control both maintain lost pet databases and can help reunite you with your companion. We connect you to both, and can file a priority lost pet report as well.
Community Networks
Monroe residents share lost and found posts on Facebook groups and neighborhood pages. We'll notify these communities as part of your report, extending your reach across the area.

Getting ahead matters, but ReportLost takes the legwork off your shoulders.
The sooner you report, the sooner services start looking. Once your report is in, you can breathe, knowing Monroe Police, the Sheriff's Office, transit, and community channels are all actively aware of your loss.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or purse in Monroe can feel scattered when different agencies hold lost items separately. The Police Department handles items reported to officers, the Sheriff's Office manages found property at the county level, Lake Erie Transit has its own lost and found, and neighborhood groups post discoveries on Facebook. Contacting each one takes time, and once you've reported, you're left refreshing websites hoping for news.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report to us, and we ensure Monroe Police, the Sheriff's Office, transit services, and active community channels all know what you're looking for. Better still, your report doesn't expire after a week or two, it stays live and continues matching against new finds throughout your search window. That means you can focus on your day while we keep your case active.

Call Lake Erie Transit Lost & Found at 734-242-6672 to report and ask them to check their holdings. We'll include this contact and instructions in your report so you know exactly who to follow up with and what details to provide.

Once you report, your item details stay in our system and are matched against new posts in community groups, found-item listings, and alerts from local services. You'll be notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to manually check Facebook or police records every day.
Can I report a lost pet directly to ReportLost?

Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service.
