Questions about losing and finding items in Chesterland
How long does the Chester Township Police hold onto lost items?
Policies vary by item type and value. Check with the police non-emergency line at 440-729-1239 (Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm) to learn the holding period for your specific item and where to claim it.
Can I report a lost item to the town directly instead of police?
You can contact Chester Township Town Hall at 440-729-7058, and they can guide you to the right department. ReportLost sends your report to both police and town officials automatically, so nothing falls through the cracks.
What should I do if I lost something on my way through the airport?
Contact the lost and found at the airport where you lost it (Cleveland Hopkins or John Glenn Columbus). Items are typically held for a limited time. Report to ReportLost as well so we can cross-reference any found matches in the broader Geauga County network.
My cat is missing. Do I go to the shelter or use ReportLost?
Do both. Call Geauga County Dog Shelter at 440-286-8135 immediately and post to Geauga County Lost and Found Dogs on Facebook. Then <a href="/report-lost-pet">file a priority lost pet report</a> with ReportLost so we monitor all local networks and alert you the moment someone reports seeing your cat.
How do I know if someone found my item and posted about it online?
It's hard to catch every post across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and community pages on your own. That's where ReportLost comes in. Once your report is active, we continuously match your description against new found posts and community alerts. You'll be notified immediately if there's a credible match.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace reporting to the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside, not instead of, local police and town services. We make it easier by filing your report with the right departments and keeping a continuous search running across community networks for the duration of your search period. You retain full access to police records and official channels.
