Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or beloved pet in Troy means contacting the police precinct, checking multiple lost and found channels, monitoring community Facebook groups, and calling around to shelters. Each place has its own system, its own timeline, its own forms. If you're unlucky, your item gets mixed into a pile of hundreds, and after a few days or weeks, the trail goes cold.
ReportLost simplifies this. Submit one report, and we notify the Troy Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff, City Hall, the Troy City Pound, and local lost pet networks on your behalf. Better still, your report doesn't stop after a day or two. It stays active across your chosen search period (12 months), continuously matching your item's description against new found posts and announcements in Troy and nearby areas, so you can rest knowing the search continues without you.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Troy Police Department hold lost items?
Police departments typically hold unclaimed items for 30 to 90 days before disposal or donation. This is why filing a report early and staying in contact is important. Our service keeps your report active throughout your search period to help you recover items before this window closes.
Where should I go to claim a lost item in Troy?
If your item is found and matched to your report, we'll contact you with details. Typically, you'll retrieve it from the Troy Police Department (800 Cap Au Gris St.), the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office (201 Main Street), or the business or location where it was found. We guide you on where to go and what to bring.
How long does the Troy City Pound hold stray pets?
The Troy City Pound holds animals for a limited period (usually 72 hours to a week) before making adoption or other arrangements. This makes quick reporting critical. File a lost pet report immediately if your cat or dog is missing, and we'll notify the pound and all local rescue networks to maximize visibility.
Can I report a lost item found on a Metro bus?
Yes. Items found on Metro buses serving Troy are collected at the dispatch office. Contact Metro Customer Service at (314) 231-2345 or fill out a lost item form online. Our report includes all necessary details to help you locate your item quickly.
Do I have to visit multiple places to report a lost pet in Troy?
Not with ReportLost. We file your lost pet report with the Troy City Pound, the Humane Society of Missouri, local lost pet Facebook networks, and rescue groups. You make one report, and we handle the distribution, plus keep your report active across social channels for months.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the Troy Police Department or any government agency. We don't replace official police reports for theft or criminal loss. However, for lost items and lost pets, we streamline the process by routing your report to all the right local channels (police, city services, shelters, community groups) and maintaining active matching for your entire search period. You can file a police report separately if you believe a theft occurred.
