These are the main services that handle lost & found in the area. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.

The Police Department accepts lost property reports and maintains a lost & found inventory. We handle the specifics of which precinct covers your loss location and what details they'll need.
City of Saginaw
City Hall coordinates lost & found efforts across municipal departments and facilities. We point you to the right desk and generate the exact information to include when you follow up.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Don't wait to report
The sooner your loss is on the official record and in the community's awareness, the better your chances. Once you've submitted your report, our team takes it from there and keeps watch on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Saginaw means juggling multiple phone numbers and websites: the police non-emergency line, the transit authority, City Hall, and a dozen Facebook groups. Each agency holds its own lost & found. By the time you've tracked down the right person, days have passed, and your item may already be gone.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report, and we notify all the relevant services and public channels on your behalf. Better yet, our system doesn't just file and forget. We watch the web continuously for weeks or months, scanning local social media and marketplace posts to catch any "found" notices that match yours. You won't miss a lead because you stopped checking every morning.
