How ReportLost Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what you lost, where and when, plus any details that make it yours. We gather everything the right authorities need in one place.
We send it to the right places

Your report keeps searching
While you go about your day, your report stays active and checks for matches against newly found items, posts, and listings. We alert you the moment a credible match surfaces.
Where to Report & What to Know
Bexley's main lost and found resources, plus what ReportLost does to save you time
Bexley Police Department
The Bexley Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by residents and officers. They accept reports at the main station and via their non-emergency line. We notify them of your report automatically, and we tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location.
City of Bexley Services
City Hall coordinates lost and found assistance across Bexley municipal services and public spaces. Contact them if your item was lost at a city event, park, or municipal building. We generate the exact information they'll ask for and point you to the right department.
John Glenn Columbus International Airport
If you lost your item at the airport, John Glenn's lost and found office is your first stop. They also handle items left on planes, though aircraft finds go through the airline directly. You can file a claim online or call them during business hours.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Bexley can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling calls to the police department, checking Facebook groups, browsing local community boards, and wondering if anyone's posted a found item. The Bexley Police Department and City of Bexley maintain their own lost and found channels, but they're separate systems, and there's no central place where all found items automatically cross-check against what people are searching for.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report with us, and we route it to every relevant local channel, from the Bexley Police non-emergency line to active community groups where lost items regularly pop up. The key difference: your report doesn't sit idle. It stays active for 12 months, continuously matching against newly reported found items so you don't have to manually refresh lost and found pages every day.
