Fill out a quick description of what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to route your report to the right places.

Where lost items go in North Royalton
Here's what each channel handles and how we help
North Royalton Police Department
The Police Department maintains a property room for items turned in or found. If your loss involves theft or you need an official report, they're your first contact. We identify which police line and property room email to use and include the exact information to provide.
City Hall & Municipal Services
City Hall can direct you to lost and found services for items lost in municipal facilities, parks, or public buildings. We let you know which city department is most likely to have your item based on where you lost it.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the North Royalton Animal Control Department is essential. They maintain lost and found records, hold animals, and can help identify and reunite you with your pet. We make sure your report reaches Animal Control directly and point you toward the right next steps. File a priority lost pet report
Public Transit
If you lost something on a Regional Transit Authority bus or shuttle service in the North Royalton area, RTA maintains its own lost and found system. We help you understand which service to contact and what details to provide.
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
For items lost at Cleveland Hopkins (roughly 20 minutes from North Royalton), the airport's Lost and Found office is the point of contact. Different rules apply if your item was on an aircraft, in security, or in the terminal. We clarify which process applies to you.

Get your loss in front of the right people today
The sooner you report, the better your chances. Once you file through ReportLost, we handle the routing. You'll have the peace of mind of knowing your item is actively being searched for across all the channels that matter.
Report my lost item →Losing something in North Royalton means navigating multiple systems, all separate. The police have a property room. Animal Control handles pets. Local Facebook groups post finds. No single place talks to all the others, and by the time you've called the police, checked the shelter, and scrolled through three different social channels, momentum is already fading.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report here does the legwork for you, alerting the North Royalton Police Department, the right local authorities, and community networks in one go. Then your report continues working in the background, watching for matches across all those channels and alerting you the moment something credible surfaces. You can breathe again.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in North Royalton
How long does the North Royalton Police Department hold items in their property room?
The Police Department's property room typically holds found items for a set period before disposal. Contact their property room at propertyroom@police.northroyalton.org or call 440-582-6216 to confirm current retention policies and ask if your item has been turned in. ReportLost files your report to ensure they're checking for matches.
What if I lost a pet? How do I make sure Animal Control has it on file?
Call North Royalton Animal Control directly at 440-237-0665 to file a full lost pet report. They maintain records and can search their shelter and local area. ReportLost will also route your lost pet report to Animal Control and post alerts to local pet groups so the community is searching too.
How does ReportLost stay active longer than just making one phone call?
When you file through ReportLost, we don't just notify authorities once. Your report is catalogued and remains active in our system. For your entire search period (12 months depending on your coverage), we continue to compare your item description against new found-item posts, community notices, and local marketplace listings. The moment a credible match surfaces, we alert you. You're not doing daily searches yourself; your report is doing the searching for you.
Do I still need to call the police if I report through ReportLost?
It depends on the situation. If your item was stolen or you need an official police report for insurance, you'll need to file with North Royalton Police directly (call 911 for emergencies or 440-582-6216 for non-emergency reports). If it's a lost item and you want to maximize your chances of recovery, ReportLost handles the routing so you don't miss the right department or channel.
What happens if my item turns up in a Facebook group or at a local business?
If we spot a match in a Facebook group, marketplace listing, or local post, we'll notify you immediately with a link to the post and details so you can claim it. This is the main advantage of your report staying active: you're not manually scrolling every day.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We are not a government agency, and we don't replace the police or official lost and found systems. What we do is streamline the process of alerting the right authorities and community networks in one go, then keep your search active while you get on with your life. For criminal matters or official reports, you still contact North Royalton Police directly.
