Where lost items go in Highland Heights
These are the official channels. We help you reach them all at once.
Highland Heights Police Department
The Police Department accepts lost and found reports, especially for items found on public property or turned in by community members. They also handle lost pet reports and can provide information about items recovered in the area. Call or visit in person at 5827 Highland Road.
RTA Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on an RTA bus in the Highland Heights area, the Regional Transit Authority manages lost and found for the region. Items are typically held for a set period. We'll make sure your report reaches them and provide you with the exact information to include.
City of Highland Heights
The City can help direct you to the right department depending on where you lost your item, whether it's a public facility, park, or community center. City Hall is the central point of contact for any city-related inquiries.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, contact the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter first, as many lost animals are brought there. The Highland Heights Police Department also takes lost pet reports and can help coordinate a search. For the fastest help with your lost pet, file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the sooner the search can begin
Getting your loss into the system early gives it more time to be found and returned. Once you've submitted your report to ReportLost, we handle the legwork of alerting the Police Department and community channels, so you can focus on other steps if needed.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Highland Heights can feel isolating, especially when you're not sure where to start: Do you call the police? Check with the bus system? Post on Facebook and hope someone sees it? The city has multiple lost and found channels, but they don't talk to each other, which means your lost item might be found and posted somewhere you never think to look.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report with us reaches the Police Department, transit services, and the community all at once. Better yet, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match across local channels for months, so you can rest assured that the effort continues even when you move on to other things.
