Where to report lost items in Walled Lake
From the police to community channels, here's where your item might turn up and who to contact.
Walled Lake Police Department
The police department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by residents and found during patrols. They're open Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. During non-business hours, calls are routed to the Oakland County Sheriff's office. We handle the details and direct your report straight to the right desk.
Walled Lake City Hall
City Hall operates as a central hub for city services and can point you toward the appropriate department or channel depending on where your item was lost. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ReportLost can identify the right city resource based on your loss location.
Local Transit
If you lost an item on WOTA (Walled Lake's paratransit service), contact them directly. WOTA runs Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday 7:30 a.m. onward. We can flag whether your loss happened on public transportation so the right agency is notified.
Lost Pet
The Walled Lake Police Department runs a dedicated Pet Lost and Found Reporting service for missing cats, dogs, and other domestic animals. You can also contact the Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center to report or search for your pet. Both channels feed into local pet recovery networks. If your loss is a pet, file a priority lost pet report

Start your search in Walled Lake
The sooner you report, the sooner your item starts matching against found posts and community alerts. You're never alone in this, your report keeps working even while you're doing other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Walled Lake means contacting the police department, checking community groups on your own, and revisiting sites repeatedly to see if anyone found it. Each agency keeps its own records, and they don't automatically talk to each other. By the time you piece together who to call and what to say, precious time passes.
ReportLost takes the friction out of that process. One report, filed once, reaches the Walled Lake Police Department and local community channels simultaneously. Better still, your report doesn't sit idle, it stays active and keeps searching for a match across lost and found posts, social media alerts, and community networks for as long as your search is active. You report, we handle the routing and the ongoing watch.

Frequently asked questions
How long will the Walled Lake Police Department hold a lost item?
The police department's exact retention policy isn't publicly specified in detail. Check with them directly at (248) 624-3120 or in person during office hours, Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Items are typically held for a reasonable period, but it's best to claim yours as soon as possible.
What happens if I lose something outside police office hours?
During evenings, weekends, and holidays when the Walled Lake Police Department is closed, emergency calls are routed to the Oakland County Sheriff's office. For non-emergencies, you can still file a report with ReportLost and we'll ensure it reaches the right department when they reopen.
Can I report a lost item if I'm not sure of the exact location?
Yes. Provide as much detail as you can remember, including the general area, time of day, and circumstances. Narrowing it down helps, but even a general location in Walled Lake is worth reporting. ReportLost captures this context so it reaches the right channels.
Is there a lost and found for items on WOTA buses?
Yes. If you believe you left something on WOTA, contact them at (248) 887-4979 during reservation hours, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Items are held for a period during operating hours.
What should I include when reporting a lost pet in Walled Lake?
Include a clear description (breed, color, markings, size), the date and location where your pet went missing, a photo if available, and your contact information. The Walled Lake Police Department's Pet Lost and Found service and the Oakland County Animal Shelter both accept these reports.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with any government agency or police department. We don't replace official reporting, we complement it. When you file with ReportLost, we ensure your report reaches the Walled Lake Police Department and relevant local channels at the same time. We handle the routing and the continued matching work so you don't have to chase down every possible lead yourself.
