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.
