How ReportLost works in Saline
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to reach the right channels in Saline, from the police desk to transit operators.
We route it everywhere that matters
Your report goes to Saline Police, City Hall, TheRide (local transit), and relevant community groups. We handle the legwork so you don't have to make multiple calls.

For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items, community posts, and local listings. You'll get an alert the moment a match appears, so your item never stops being looked for.
Where to report a lost item in Saline
Here's what each channel handles and how ReportLost shortcuts the process.
Saline Police Department
The Police Department operates a 24/7 desk at their downtown station. Officers log found items and can provide guidance on stolen property or lost items left at local businesses. ReportLost tells you exactly which details to include and ensures your report reaches the right desk.
City Hall
Saline's City Hall (in the Municipal Building on Harris Street) can help coordinate lost items found on city property or direct you to the right department. They're open weekday business hours and hold records of items turned in by citizens. We generate the precise contact info and explain what City Hall can do for your situation.
TheRide Transit
If you lost an item on a local bus or at a transit stop, TheRide's Lost & Found holds items for a defined period. Call them directly or submit a report through their system. ReportLost ensures your lost item reaches their Lost & Found team immediately so it's flagged before items cycle through.
DTW Airport (Detroit Metropolitan)
Lost an item while traveling through Detroit Metro, or left something behind when flying out of Saline? DTW's Lost & Found office maintains a searchable inventory and can retrieve items from aircraft or gate areas. We point you to the exact contact method based on where your item was left.
Lost & Found Pets
A missing cat, dog, or other pet requires immediate outreach to local shelters and animal rescue networks. The Humane Society of Huron Valley is Washtenaw County's main stray animal facility and operates a dedicated lost pet line. Community groups on Facebook and PawBoost help spread the word. For a lost or found pet, file a priority lost pet report to activate our urgent pet-matching network.

Ready to report your loss?
The sooner you file, the sooner we connect with local channels and start the search. Once your report is in, you can rest easy, the system works for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Saline, whether it's a wallet at a local shop, a phone left on the bus, or a cherished ring at one of the city's parks, means juggling calls to the Police Department, City Hall, TheRide transit, and scrolling through multiple Facebook groups. Each place has its own system, its own hours, and no way to share information across all of them. You end up repeating yourself and hoping someone connects the dots.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File once, and we instantly notify the Saline Police Department (available 24/7 at their downtown station), City Hall, local transit, and the active community groups where residents post found items. Better still, your report doesn't stop working the day you submit it, it keeps searching automatically for a match across all these channels for months, sparing you the daily re-checking.
