Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right Grove City departments and community channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Grove City Police Division, City Hall, local animal control (if a pet), and active lost-and-found groups in the area so the community knows to look.

Report your loss while details are fresh
The sooner you file, the sooner we can alert local services and the community. Once your report is in, you have peace of mind knowing the search is active and ongoing.
Report my lost item →Grove City residents know that losing something valuable can feel overwhelming, especially when items end up in different places, someone's private property, a shop counter, or mixed in with community lost-and-found posts. The Grove City Police Division, City Hall, animal shelters, and local Facebook groups are all separate systems, and calling each one takes time you may not have.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we route your loss to the right departments, notify active community channels, and keep your report searching continuously for the entire 6- to 12-month period. You don't have to wonder if you've checked everywhere, because your report is doing the work for you, automatically connecting new found items to your case as they come in.

Questions about lost items in Grove City
How long does the Grove City Police Division hold a lost item?
The Police Division typically holds lost items for a period of time before they may be donated or disposed of. We recommend contacting them at 614-277-1710 as soon as you realize your loss, and filing your ReportLost report so we can help track communications with them throughout the process.
What should I do if I lost something at a local business or shop?
Call the store or location directly first. If no luck, file a police report (the Police Division can advise on this), and submit your ReportLost report so the community is aware and can help. We provide you with the right contact info for your location.
If I lost a pet in Grove City, what's the fastest way to get the word out?
Contact Franklin County animal services immediately at 614-525-3400, post in Grove City Connect and local pet networks, and file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost so we alert shelters, rescues, and community groups on your behalf within hours.

Visit the Lost & Found office at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (open Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.) or call 614-239-5035 to file a claim. Contact your airline too if the item was on a flight. We help you gather the details and timeline needed for your claim.
Can ReportLost help if I lost something months ago?
Yes. Your report stays active for 12 months, so it continues to search and match against new found items posted by the community and local services. However, acting quickly after a loss significantly improves your chances, so we always recommend filing as soon as you realize something is missing.
