How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We ask the right questions so your description is complete and matches what others might find and report.
We connect the dots
We alert the Kenton Police, the Hardin County Sheriff, animal control if needed, local Facebook groups, and Nextdoor. You don't have to make the calls or figure out which agency covers your loss.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and cross-checks new found-item posts, community alerts, and local marketplace listings. You get a notification the moment a credible match surfaces, so you're not refreshing pages every day.

And where to report them
Kenton Police Department
The Kenton Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by residents and recovered on city streets. They also file lost property reports. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and generate the information you'll need if you want to file directly.
Hardin County Sheriff's Office
As the county authority, the Sheriff's Office covers areas and incidents beyond city limits. Items found in unincorporated parts of Hardin County, or during county-level operations, may be held here. We determine which agency has jurisdiction based on your loss location.

Getting ahead matters
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner local networks can be alerted and the search can begin. Once your report is filed, you've done the hard part, the Kenton Police and community channels have your information, and your report automatically works through the coming weeks and months.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Kenton means juggling phone calls to the police, the sheriff's office, animal control if it's a pet, and scrolling through multiple Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts. Each agency holds items for different lengths of time, and if your item doesn't turn up right away, you're stuck checking back manually for months. ReportLost simplifies this entirely: one report, sent to all the right places, and one active watch that runs for you.
The biggest advantage? Once your item is reported, you can breathe easy. Your description stays in circulation across police lost-and-founds, local community networks, and online channels. As new posts come in, your report automatically cross-references them. If someone posts "found a wallet on Main Street," your report is there to catch the match. No subscription, no daily searching required, just one upfront report that works on your behalf.

Questions about reporting a loss in Kenton
How long does the Kenton Police Department hold lost items?
The Kenton Police typically hold lost property for 30 to 90 days before disposal. It's important to report your loss quickly and follow up within this window. ReportLost ensures your item description is circulating to police and community channels from day one.
What if I lost something outside the city of Kenton?
If your loss occurred in unincorporated Hardin County, contact the Hardin County Sheriff's Office at 419-673-1268. If you're unsure which jurisdiction covers your loss location, ReportLost helps you identify the right agency based on where you lost the item.
How fast can the Hardin County Humane Society help with a lost pet?
Contact the Humane Society immediately at the number on their website or visit in person. Pets are at highest risk in the first 24 to 48 hours. Post to the Hardin County Lost/Found Pets Facebook group at the same time. ReportLost includes lost pet reporting in its priority alert system to maximize visibility.
Do I need to file a police report for a lost wallet or ring?
A formal police report is not always necessary for lost items, but filing a report with the police department creates an official record and enters your item into their lost-and-found system. ReportLost helps you decide whether a formal report is appropriate and generates the details you'll need.
Can I check Nextdoor or Facebook for found items myself?
Yes, checking those groups is always a good step. However, ReportLost saves you from having to monitor these pages constantly. Your active report cross-checks new posts automatically and alerts you if a match appears, so you're not refreshing every day for months.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not run by any police department or government agency. It doesn't replace filing a report with the Kenton Police or Hardin County Sheriff, rather it acts as a rapid-alert coordinator that connects your loss to those official channels and community networks simultaneously, and keeps your report actively searching for months. You're still welcome to report directly to police if you prefer.
