Frequently asked questions
How long do lost items stay at the police department?
The New Lexington Police Department typically holds items for 30 to 60 days before they may be disposed of or donated. That's why reporting early and following up within the first week greatly improves your chances of recovery.
What should I do if my item was lost on Perry County Transit?
Call Perry County Transit at (740) 342-2810 right away to describe your item and get a reference number. They hold bus lost and found items for several days. We include this call in our report and can flag your item with them so they actively look for it.
Do I need to file a police report if I lost my wallet or phone?

How does ReportLost monitor for matches?
Your report stays active and we continuously check community posts, local found item listings, transit lost and found updates, and business announcements. When we find a credible match, we notify you right away so you can verify and claim your item. You don't have to refresh Facebook groups or call every day.
What if my lost item is a ring or jewelry?
Jewelry is commonly turned in to police departments and local businesses. We alert all relevant venues and community channels with a detailed description. Unique items like rings with engravings or distinctive settings help identify matches faster.
