Where to Report Lost Items in St. Marys
These are the official channels. ReportLost does the legwork of contacting them for you.
St. Marys Police Department
The Police Department accepts lost and found reports and maintains a log of found items. We file your report directly with them and specify the details of your loss so dispatch has everything they need.
City of St. Marys
City Hall coordinates municipal services and can advise on lost items found in public spaces or facilities. We alert them to your report so they're aware if your item turns up at a city office or public area.
Lost Pet Rescue & Community
SART (Cat Adoption & Rescue St. Marys, Ohio) and local animal rescue networks are active in the area, with strong outreach and lost pet posting practices. If your cat or dog is missing, we connect you with these rescue organizations and community groups that specialize in reuniting pets with their families. File a priority lost pet report.
Community Channels
Facebook groups like 'ALL The Voices of Saint Mary's Ohio' and local Nextdoor communities are where neighbors share found items and alert each other to missing belongings. We post your lost item to these channels on your behalf so the community knows what to look for.

Why wait?
The sooner your report is filed and routed to the right places, the sooner the search begins. Every day counts, and having your report actively searching means you can get back to your routine.
Report my lost item →St. Marys has no shortage of places where wallets, rings, phones, and beloved pets disappear. Downtown shops, Grand Lake State Park, local gathering spots, and residential streets all draw a steady stream of lost property reports. But the challenge isn't the losing, it's finding the report to the right people and then staying on top of whether it's been spotted.
That's where ReportLost steps in. Instead of juggling calls to the police department, city hall, rescue groups, and Facebook pages separately, you file one report with us, and we handle the routing. Then your report stays active, continuously matching against new found items and posts, so you're not manually refreshing pages and groups every day. Once you submit, you can breathe, and let the search continue on your behalf.
