Where to report a lost item in Moraine
A rundown of local services and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once
Moraine Police Division
The Moraine Police Division is the primary place to file a report for lost items in the city. Call their non-emergency line or visit in person at their headquarters on Dryden Road. We generate the exact information for your report and tell you which precinct handles your loss location, so you know what to expect when you contact them.
City of Moraine
Moraine's City Hall can direct you to municipal lost and found services and advise on items lost at public facilities or parks. They also maintain community records and may have leads on recovered items. Calling ahead saves time and points you to the right desk.
Dayton International Airport
If you lost something at nearby Dayton International Airport, their dedicated lost and found office handles recovery. Items are held for a set period, so reporting promptly increases your chances. We point you to the right contact line and what information to have ready.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Moraine, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and local animal control are the first stops. Time matters with pets, so acting fast and posting to community pet networks is critical. File a priority lost pet report to get your pet in front of rescue volunteers and local shelters immediately.
Retail & Public Spaces
Wallets, phones, and other items are often turned in to customer service desks at shops, restaurants, and public facilities where they were lost. ReportLost helps you identify which locations to contact and prepares you with a clear description to share so staff can look.
Community & Social Networks
Moraine residents and nearby Dayton area groups use Facebook and Nextdoor to post found items daily. Many lost items are recovered through neighbors who spot and share photos. We post your lost item to the right community channels, multiplying your chances of a match.

The sooner you report, the sooner your search begins
Filing your lost item report today means your description starts circulating through police records, community posts, and automatic matching within hours. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to track down what's been found. Once your report is in, the searching continues for you, even while you sleep.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Moraine means checking with the police, calling around to stores and public spaces, and scrolling through Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts, often for weeks with no clear next step. When systems are separate, recovery gets lost in translation. ReportLost simplifies that: one report, and we connect you to the police division, local businesses, and the community channels where found items actually get reported.
What sets us apart is that your report doesn't stop working after a few days. It stays active for months, automatically hunting through new found listings and posts to spot a match with your lost item. You can breathe easier knowing the search continues behind the scenes, and an alert reaches you the moment something credible turns up.
