Questions about reporting a loss in Englewood
How long will the Englewood Police Department hold unclaimed property?
The police department holds lost property according to Ohio law. Items are typically kept for a set retention period before disposal. We recommend contacting their records section at 937-836-1194 to ask about your specific item and how long it will be held.
If I lost something at a local business or restaurant, where should I call first?
Contact the business directly, as many hold items for 30 to 90 days before turning them over to police or discarding them. If the business no longer has it, that's when you file with the police department.
What if my pet is lost? Should I call the police or an animal shelter?
Call the Humane Society of Greater Dayton (937-268-7387) and the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center (937-294-6505, ext. 49) within the first 24 hours. Also post on local Facebook groups like Northmont Area Lost and Found Pet Page. We help you alert all of these at once via your priority pet report.
If I lost something at Dayton International Airport, can I still report through Englewood?
Yes. We route your report to the airport's lost and found office (937-898-6786) in addition to local channels. If your item is there, the airport can locate it faster if you contact them directly, but our system ensures they're notified.
How long does my report stay active on ReportLost?
You choose a 6-month or 12-month search period when you report. Your report automatically searches for matches against new community posts, marketplace listings, and local announcements during that entire time. You receive an alert if a credible match is found, so you don't have to check every day.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace filing with the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Englewood Police Department or any city agency. We don't replace an official police report; we're a faster way to notify multiple local channels (police, shelters, community groups) at once and keep your loss visible while you focus on your life. For items of high value or theft-related losses, you may still want to file a formal police report as well.
