Where to report a lost item in New Haven
Official channels and what each handles
Macomb County Sheriff
File a police report for lost or stolen items. The Sheriff's office covers New Haven and maintains a lost and found for items brought in by residents or found on county property. We route your report to the right precinct and make sure the dispatch center has your details.
Village of New Haven Municipal Offices
The Village maintains a lost and found for items turned in at public buildings and community spaces. Reporting directly to the Village ensures staff are looking out for your item. We connect you with the right department and provide the information they need.
Lost pets and animal control
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, Macomb County Animal Control and local rescues are your first stops. They scan for microchips, hold found animals, and network across shelters. We make sure your pet report reaches the right facilities and file a priority lost pet report on your behalf.
Community networks and social media
Facebook groups like Michigan Lost And Found Pet Network and local Nextdoor posts are where New Haven residents share found items. We post your report to these channels and monitor new posts for matches, so your item doesn't get lost in the feed.

Found items in New Haven don't stay lost long if the right people know about it
The sooner you report, the sooner the Sheriff's office, Village staff, and community volunteers can start looking. Once your report is filed and routed, you can focus on retracing your steps. We're watching for matches in the background.
Report my lost item →New Haven sits in Macomb County, where wallets slip out at shops along Main Street, rings disappear in homes, and pets bolt from backyards into the woods. The challenge: reports filed with the Sheriff's office don't automatically sync with community Facebook groups, PawBoost alerts, or local rescue networks. You end up making separate calls and posts to each place.
ReportLost fills that gap. One report, filed once, reaches the Macomb County Sheriff, Village of New Haven, animal control, and the Facebook groups and Nextdoor channels where your neighbors post found items. And here's the difference: your report stays active for months. While you go about your day, it automatically matches new found-item posts against your description and alerts you when something credible surfaces. You don't have to be the one checking daily.

Common questions about lost items in New Haven
How long does the Sheriff's office hold lost items?
The Macomb County Sheriff's office typically holds lost items for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item and whether a report was filed. Call 586-469-5151 to ask about your specific item. We generate the exact information needed when you file a report.
Where is the lost and found at Village of New Haven?
Items brought to the Village offices at 57775 Main Street are held at the municipal desk. Call (586) 749-5301 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to inquire. We point you to the exact desk and provide details about what to bring when you claim.
If I lost a pet, which shelter should I contact first?
Start with Macomb County Animal Control and local rescues like Chillywilly's Pet Rescue. Post to PawBoost and Michigan Lost And Found Pet Network immediately, as community volunteers often spot missing pets before shelters do. We alert all of these simultaneously and keep your pet report active across all channels.
What if I lost something at a store or restaurant?
Call the business first, as they usually hold items for 24–48 hours at the register or lost and found. If not found, file a report with us and we'll make sure the Sheriff's office is aware. Many businesses in New Haven also post to community Facebook groups.
How do I know if someone found my item?
Without a report that stays active, you'd have to check Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and call places daily. With ReportLost, we monitor these channels and alert you the moment a credible match surfaces. You also get details about where the item was found so you can reach the finder.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Macomb County Sheriff or Village of New Haven. We don't replace a police report; we complement it. For stolen items or urgent circumstances, always call the Sheriff's office directly at 586-469-5151 or 911. What we do is make sure your report reaches every relevant office and channel at once, and we keep it searchable and active for months while you wait.
