Where Lost Items Go in New Burlington
Here's how to report directly, and what ReportLost does on your behalf.
New Burlington Area Police
The local police department keeps records of lost and found items and can help if your loss occurred on city property or involves a crime. We identify the right precinct or station for your location and handle the initial report so you don't have to figure out who to call. For non-emergency contact, reach out to the closest station in your area.
Hamilton County & City Services
New Burlington is part of Hamilton County, and the city itself has services that can assist with lost items found on public grounds. If your loss happened in a park, on a street, or in a public building, reporting to the city or county can help. We let you know which office covers your specific location and what information to provide.
Transit & Bus Lost and Found
If you lost your item on a COTA bus or during travel, Central Ohio Transit Authority keeps found items for seven days. We can tell you which route your trip was on and exactly how to check their Lost and Found office.
John Glenn International Airport
Traveling through Columbus? If you lost an item at the airport terminal or on a flight, John Glenn International (CMH) maintains a dedicated Lost and Found office open Monday to Friday. We provide you with the exact office hours, contact details, and the info the airport will need from you.
Lost or Found Pet
A lost dog, cat, or other pet needs urgent action. Cincinnati Animal Care, the Animal Friends Humane Society, and local shelters throughout Hamilton County work together to reunite lost pets with their owners. Time is critical, so file a priority lost pet report and we'll immediately alert the right rescues and shelters for your area.

The Sooner You Report, the Better
Every hour counts when something goes missing. Filing your report early means more time for it to match against found items and community posts. Once it's filed, you can breathe easier, knowing the report is out there working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet in New Burlington can feel disorienting, especially when you're unsure whether to call the police, check with the city, reach out to local shelters, or post on Facebook.

You won't have to spend weeks refreshing lost-and-found pages or calling back multiple offices. Once your report is filed, it stays active and keeps searching for a match automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I lost my item on public transit in the Columbus area?
COTA buses hold found items for seven days. If your item was turned in to a bus operator or found on a fixed-route bus, call the Lost and Found office at 614-308-4378 to check. ReportLost will help you provide the exact route and timeframe so they can search their system.
How long will police departments keep a lost item I report?
Most police departments keep found items in their evidence storage for 30 to 90 days before disposal, depending on the nature of the item. That's why filing a report early and keeping it active matters. Even after the police release an item, it may circulate in community channels or online marketplaces for much longer.
Can I report my lost pet through ReportLost?
Yes. Pets need faster action than other items. When you file a lost pet report, we immediately alert Cincinnati Animal Care (513-541-7387), the Animal Friends Humane Society, and local shelters throughout Hamilton County. They hold lost pets for at least 72 hours, and active lost pet notices stay visible in community channels for months.
What if I lost my wallet or purse near the airport?
If you lost it inside John Glenn International Airport (CMH), call their Lost and Found at (614) 239-5035 or submit an online claim at flycolumbus.com. If it was on a flight, contact your airline directly. ReportLost will guide you through both processes and ensure your report stays active in case the item turns up later.
How does ReportLost keep my report active for 12 months?
When you file a report, we don't just submit it once and forget. Your report stays in our system and is continuously matched against new found items posted by the community, checked in by local services, or listed on community boards and social channels. If a credible match appears, you're notified immediately. You don't have to manually check websites every day.
Is ReportLost.org an official service or a replacement for the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We're not a government agency or police department. Instead, we complement official channels by aggregating your report, notifying the right local services on your behalf, and maintaining an active search across multiple platforms so you don't have to juggle calls. For emergencies or crimes, contact 911 or your local police directly. For lost items, we help you cover all bases without the hassle.
