Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and local services hold lost items?
The Sheriff's Office typically holds items for 30 to 90 days, depending on the nature of the property. Items not claimed are disposed of or donated. Transit services have similar timelines. This is why reporting quickly and maintaining an active search is crucial; we keep your report live for 12 months to catch your item if it surfaces later.
What information do I need to have ready when I report a lost item?
Have ready a description of the item (color, brand, distinguishing marks), the date and location where it was lost, your contact information, and any serial numbers if applicable. We'll guide you through what details matter most for each type of report and help you frame them for maximum clarity.
If I lose a pet in Hilton, where do I start?
Contact the Hamlin Animal Shelter at 585-392-0995 immediately, and also alert Rochester Animal Services at 585-428-6722.
