How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Fill out a quick report with details about your item, where you lost it, and when. We ask just enough to help people recognize it if they come across it.
We send it to the right places
We contact the Ottawa Hills Police Department, check in with local lost & found operations, and share your report across active community networks so neighbors and local groups can help spread the word.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you move on with your day, your report continues working for you. We cross-check new found items, community posts, and local announcements against your description for the full search period, and alert you if a credible match shows up.
Where Your Lost Item Might Be
We help you report to all the right places at once.
Ottawa Hills Police Department
The police department handles lost property reports and can help determine where your item was taken or where to search next. You can file a report by phone, and copies are available upon request. We tell you which precinct and what details to include so your report gets logged correctly.
Ottawa Hills Village Administration
The Village Administration office can direct you to the right department, help coordinate searches in public spaces, and may have information about lost items turned in to municipal facilities. We can point you to the right desk and explain what information they'll ask for.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Ottawa Hills, acting fast makes a real difference. The Toledo Humane Society, local animal shelters, and community pet networks are your first contacts. Post on PawBoost and local lost pet Facebook groups to reach neighbors immediately. We help you file a priority lost pet report that reaches all these channels at once.

Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Items lost at shops, restaurants, parks, or community centers are often held by the business itself. Many Ottawa Hills retailers and venues keep a lost & found for 30 to 90 days. We help you draft a clear description and let you know which nearby businesses to contact based on where you lost your item.
Public Transit
If you lost something on a COTA (Central Ohio Transit Authority) bus or at a station, COTA holds most items for seven days. You can call to inquire directly. We generate the exact information you need to include when you contact them.

Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Ottawa Hills, whether it's in your neighborhood, at a local business, or during a community event, can feel overwhelming. The police handle lost items, community groups share alerts on social media, local businesses keep their own found items, and transit has separate lost & found processes, yet coordinating across all these channels takes time and energy you may not have.
ReportLost bridges that gap by turning your one report into coordinated action across all the places that matter. Once you file, we take care of routing it to the Ottawa Hills Police Department and relevant local channels, and your report stays active in the background for months, quietly watching for a match so you don't have to revisit the same websites and groups every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Ottawa Hills Police Department hold lost items?
Most police departments hold unclaimed lost property for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item type. Check with the Ottawa Hills Police Department at 419-531-4211 for specifics on your item. Once you file with ReportLost, we can help clarify these timelines.
Do I have to file a police report to get help from ReportLost?
No. ReportLost works independently to alert local channels and monitor for matches. Filing a formal police report is optional but can be helpful if there's any theft involved. We can guide you on whether a report makes sense for your situation.
How long does my report stay active with ReportLost?
Your report continues searching for a match for your full search period, either 12 months depending on your selection. During that time, we cross-check new found items and community posts against your description, so you don't have to check daily.
What if I lost my pet in Ottawa Hills?
Contact the Toledo Humane Society at 419-213-2800 or visit their lost & found page right away. Post on local lost pet Facebook groups and PawBoost immediately. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost so we can coordinate these channels and keep your pet's information visible across networks.
What if I lost something on a COTA bus?
Call COTA Lost & Found at 614-308-4378 as soon as possible (items are held for seven days). Include the route number and time of day. ReportLost can help you prepare that information and also keep your report active in case someone else finds and reports your item.
Is ReportLost official or does it replace filing a police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Ottawa Hills Police Department or any government agency. We supplement official channels by coordinating outreach and monitoring for matches. If your loss involves theft or you need an official report for insurance, contact the police directly. We work alongside official channels, not instead of them.
