The sooner you report, the better your odds.
The first hours after a loss matter. Items move through systems quickly, and community memory fades. Reporting right away to ReportLost means your description spreads to police, transit, shelters, and neighbors before trails go cold. After that, your report keeps working quietly in the background.
Report my lost item →Covedale sits in the heart of Hamilton County, where items slip away in shops, on buses, and in the spaces between home and work. Wallets vanish at the grocery store. Phones disappear on Metro Transit. Even beloved pets go missing. When it happens, you're suddenly juggling calls to the police, the transit authority, animal shelters, and social media groups, all with no guarantee anyone's connecting the dots for you.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File one report, and we immediately notify Cincinnati Police, Metro Transit Lost and Found, Cincinnati Animal CARE, and local Covedale community channels. Then your report stays live and keeps working for you, automatically scanning new found items and community posts for a match over 12 months. You can breathe easy knowing the search doesn't stop when you stop looking.
