How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate all the details needed for each local office and social channel.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Troy Police, Miami County transit if relevant, animal shelters for pets, and relevant community groups, all in one go.
Your report keeps searching for you
While your report stays active, we cross-reference new found item posts, local social channels, and community announcements. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back every day.
Where lost items go in Troy
Every place in Troy has a different system for lost and found. Here's what each one handles and how to reach them.
Troy Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in within city limits, including those found on city property or reported to officers. Call the non-emergency line to check if your item has been logged, or to report a loss in more detail. We generate the exact information needed for your report and point you to the right desk.
Miami County Public Transit
Lost something on a bus or at a transit stop? Miami County's transit system runs throughout Troy and keeps lost items for a set period. Call their main office during business hours to report or inquire about your item. We tell you which transit route or facility covers your loss and help you describe the item for their records.
Call (937) 440-5488|More info at miamicountyohio.gov/transit
City Hall and Parks
Items found in city parks, city buildings, or other municipal property are reported to City Hall or handled through the city's lost and found process. Call or visit City Hall to report a loss or check for found items. We can help you file a formal report with the city if needed.
Lost pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Troy, the Miami County Animal Shelter is your first call. They scan for microchips, hold found animals, and coordinate with local rescues.

Questions about lost and found in Troy
How long does the Police Department hold lost items?
Items are typically held for a reasonable period, but it varies. Call the non-emergency line at (937) 339-7525 right away to report and check on your item. Waiting longer reduces the chance it will still be there.
What if I lost something on a Miami County bus?
Contact Miami County transit at (937) 440-5488 during business hours (weekdays 5 AM to 8 PM). Describe your item and the route you were on. Lost and found items at transit are held for a limited time, so call as soon as possible.
Where do I pick up a found item in Troy?
It depends on where your item was found. If the Police Department has it, you can arrange pickup at their office at 124 E. Main Street, Troy. City Hall is at 100 S Market Street. Transit items are held at their office. Call ahead to confirm the item is there and hours before you visit.
Do I have to report my lost pet to the animal shelter in person?
Call the Miami County Animal Shelter at (937) 332-6919 first to report verbally and ask them to watch for your pet. You can visit in person to file an official report and check for your animal. For a priority, multi-channel search, file a lost pet report with ReportLost.
Will ReportLost replace reporting to the police or other offices?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that connects you with official offices like Troy Police and Miami County services, generates the details they need, and keeps your report active across local channels. You're not bypassing the system, you're making it work better by coordinating all the places that need to know at once.
What if I lost my item more than a few days ago?
Report it now. Many items are held longer than people expect, especially if they're valuable or identifiable. And by filing with ReportLost, your report will continue to match against new found items for 12 months, so there's still a real chance it could surface.
