Where to report a lost item in Union

What each place does, and how ReportLost saves you the legwork

🚔

Union Police Department

The Police Department is the official channel for lost property reports. They can log your item, assign it a case reference, and keep it on file. ReportLost generates the exact details to include and tells you which precinct covers your loss, so your report reaches the right desk immediately.

Contact Police Department

🏛️

Union City Hall

City Hall coordinates with local departments and can help direct your report to the right authority. They also maintain information about community resources and lost and found practices in Union. ReportLost ensures your report reaches the appropriate contact at City Hall during business hours.

Lost or found a pet?

If you've lost a cat, dog, or other animal, the Union County Humane Society is your first call. They shelter lost animals and can check their current intake. They also coordinate with local vets and community networks to spread the word. But if you want to ensure your pet is also posted to social channels and monitored automatically for weeks, file a priority lost pet report with us.

👥

Local community networks

Union residents share lost and found posts on Facebook groups like Missing Pets of Marysville and Union County Ohio, and on Nextdoor. These networks reach neighbors quickly, but posts get buried fast. ReportLost publishes your item to these channels and keeps it visible in the search, so community members see it weeks after you post.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.

Here is who to contact.

The sooner your report is in the system, the sooner authorities and the community can help. Once you file, you can take a breath, the coordination is on us.

Report my lost item →

Losing something in Union means contacting separate places, retracing your steps, and hoping the right person finds it. The police take lost reports, the humane society handles pets, local shops keep their own lost and found, and community members post on Facebook and Nextdoor, but no single system ties them together. It's exhausting and most people give up after a few days.

ReportLost simplifies that mess. One report goes out, we notify every logical place to check, and your item description stays active in the search for months. You don't refresh Facebook groups every morning or call the police every week to ask if someone's turned it in, your report does that work for you, quietly and continuously.

Questions about finding lost items in Union

How long does the Union Police Department hold lost items?

The Police Department typically holds items for a reasonable period, usually 30 to 90 days depending on the item type. Jewelry and valuables are kept longer. Contact them at 937-836-0912 to check if your item has been turned in. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, so if it shows up months later, we'll still match it.

What should I do if I lost my wallet or keys at a shop downtown?

Call the shop directly first, they often keep lost items at the register. Report it to Union Police so there's an official record. ReportLost can help you craft a description and ensure it goes to the right people, plus we keep checking local channels for weeks in case someone posts about finding it.

How do I check if a lost pet has been brought to the Union County Humane Society?

Call the Union County Humane Society at 937-642-6716 and describe your pet. You can also visit their facility. Post on the Missing Pets of Marysville and Union County Ohio Facebook group immediately. If you file a lost pet report with ReportLost, we'll alert the Humane Society and monitor community channels for sightings.

What happens if someone finds my item and posts about it on Facebook or Nextdoor?

If they post in a public group or on Nextdoor, there's a chance you'll see it if you're monitoring those channels. But posts disappear in feeds fast. ReportLost automatically scans these networks for matches to your description, so you'll get an alert even if you weren't actively looking that day.

Can I file a lost item report without ReportLost?

Yes, you can contact Union Police at 937-836-0912 or visit City Hall at 118 North Main Street during business hours (Mon-Fri, 8am-4:30pm) to file directly. You can also post on Facebook or Nextdoor yourself. But ReportLost saves you the calls, coordinates across multiple channels, and keeps your report actively searching for 12 months so you don't have to.

Is ReportLost.org an official service?

ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We're not part of the Union Police Department, but we work alongside them by routing your report to the right places, including police, city services, and local community networks. We don't replace filing a police report, we supplement it and keep the search active long after the initial reports fade.
