How ReportLost Works in Dent
You report your lost item
Tell us what you lost (wallet, ring, phone, or anything else), where and when you last had it, and a bit about your item. Takes just a few minutes.
We route it to the right places
We contact the appropriate Dent and Cincinnati-area police lost property offices, transit lost and found systems, local social groups, and any relevant businesses or facilities. You don't have to track down each one yourself.
Your report keeps searching automatically
For your entire search period (12 months), your report stays active and continues to match against new found items, posts, and listings. You'll get an alert if a credible match shows up, so you can focus on your day instead of checking sites yourself every single day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Dent
Direct contacts for each recovery channel, plus what ReportLost does on your behalf
Green Township Police Department
The police department covering Dent is your first official channel for lost property reports. Call the non-emergency line to file a report and ask if any items matching your description have been turned in. We generate the correct precinct information and exact details to include in your report so nothing gets lost in translation.
Butler County RTA (Transit Lost & Found)
If you lost your item on a bus or during a commute through the Butler County area, the RTA maintains a dedicated lost and found. You can call to check if your wallet, phone, or other item has been found, or submit a description online. We make sure this channel knows about your loss right away.
Cincinnati Metro Transit
For items lost on SORTA Metro buses or the Cincinnati Streetcar, their dedicated lost and found team can help. Metro also keeps items in a secure facility in Over-The-Rhine. We notify them of your loss details so they can check their inventory for you.
Cincinnati Animal CARE (Lost & Found Pets)
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Dent or nearby, Cincinnati Animal CARE is your central shelter and lost pet registry. You can file a lost pet report in person or by phone, check their available animals, and post on their connected social networks. For a faster, more thorough process that includes automatic social matching, file a priority lost pet report with us.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Dent has shopping areas, restaurants, parks, and other gathering spots where lost items often end up. If you remember losing your ring or phone at a specific store or location, call them directly. We help you identify which business to contact first based on your loss location.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Items sitting in lost and found offices or being discovered by strangers happen within the first few days. Filing your report today with ReportLost means we're alerting all the right channels immediately, and your item description goes into the system right when it matters most. Once your report is filed, you can breathe easier—we're watching for matches on your behalf for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Dent and the surrounding Cincinnati area means calling the police, checking transit lost and found, posting to Facebook groups, contacting local businesses, and monitoring Nextdoor for weeks. It's exhausting, and often something slips through the cracks. The police have their system, the bus service has theirs, social media groups operate independently, and by the time you've made all the calls, a few days have passed.
ReportLost cuts through that fragmentation. File one report with us, and we immediately route the details to Green Township Police, Cincinnati-area transit authorities, local shelters (if it's a pet), and the active community networks where Dent residents look for lost items. Then your report stays live, automatically matching against new found-item announcements and marketplace posts for months, so you don't have to run the same search over and over.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do police and transit keep lost items?
The Green Township Police Department and Cincinnati Metro typically hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposal or donation. Butler County RTA has similar retention periods. This is why filing your report immediately with us matters—we ensure all channels know to look for your item right away, and your active report continues searching even after an item has been logged into their system.
Do I still need to call the police myself?
ReportLost notifies the police and relevant lost and found offices on your behalf and generates the exact details they need. If you prefer to file an official police report separately (especially for valuable items or thefts), you can do that—but we've already put the word out there immediately.
What if my item is found after my initial report?
Once your report is active with us, we continue matching against new found items and posts across all platforms and social channels. If a credible match appears, you'll get an alert right away so you can claim it before it gets lost again.
Does ReportLost work for lost pets?
Yes. For lost cats and dogs, we offer a dedicated priority lost pet reporting service that automatically notifies Cincinnati Animal CARE, veterinary clinics, shelters, and pet-specific social networks. Visit our lost pet section to file a priority pet report.
What if I lose something at CVG Airport or another major transit hub?
CVG (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport) has its own lost and found office. We'll route your report there as well. For items lost at airline gates, contact your airline directly, but we make sure CVG's central lost and found knows about your item.
Is ReportLost.org official? Do you replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that streamlines your reporting process—we're not a government agency and we don't replace the police. We're a coordination tool that simultaneously notifies police lost property, transit lost and found, local animal shelters, and community networks, and then keeps your report active for months so you don't have to. Official police reports are still available to you at any time; we just make sure you don't have to make a dozen separate calls.
