How it works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details you'll need to give to each agency.
We route it to the right channels
Your loss goes to the Xenia Police Division, Greene County Sheriff's office, local animal control if it's a pet, and the community groups actively searching. No runaround, no repeated calls.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and matches against new posts in Xenia lost and found groups, community alerts, and shelter databases. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every site yourself every day.
Where lost items end up in Xenia
Each channel handles different types of losses. Here's how to reach them, and how ReportLost saves you the legwork.
Xenia Police Division
Items found on city streets, in parks, or at public locations often end up here. The police can also help document theft or suspicious loss. We identify which precinct or station covers your loss location and provide the exact details to include in your report.
Greene County Sheriff's Office
Items lost on county roads, rural areas, or during county events may be held here. The Sheriff's office also maintains records for thefts and missing property across the broader Xenia area. We ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Greene CATS Public Transit
Forgot something on a Greene CATS bus? Items are stored briefly at the dispatch office. We help you file a report fast so it doesn't get discarded. Contact them directly or reach out to ReportLost and we'll do the legwork.
Lost Pets
Missing dog or cat? Greene County Animal Control and the Greene County Humane Society both work to reunite pets with owners. Local Facebook groups and Petco Love's database also list found animals. Time is critical here. File a priority lost pet report to alert all relevant shelters and rescue networks at once.
Businesses & Public Spaces
Lost at a store, café, or park? Many Xenia businesses keep a lost and found for 30 to 60 days. We help you generate a clear description and suggest the right places to call or visit based on where you think you lost it.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The faster you report, the better.
Items move through different hands quickly, especially on buses or in busy areas. Filing a report early means your description is in the system before things get lost in the shuffle. Once your report is filed, we handle the routing and the ongoing search, so you can focus on retracing your steps if you want to.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Xenia means making calls to the police, checking with local businesses and parks, scrolling through Facebook groups, and hoping the right person saw your post. Greene County Animal Control, the Xenia Police Division, and community networks all operate separately, so your search gets fragmented across multiple channels and timelines.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report fills in the gaps, connects you to every relevant local resource, and then keeps working for you. Your description stays in the system, automatically cross-referenced against new found items posted to local groups and shelters, while you get on with your day. It's the shortcut Xenia residents need when time matters.

How does ReportLost know which police department or agency to contact?
We ask you exactly where you lost your item. Based on that location, we determine whether it falls under Xenia Police Division jurisdiction, Greene County Sheriff territory, or a specific facility like Greene CATS or the airport. We also alert all relevant community groups so your description reaches every channel at once.
What if my item isn't claimed within a few days?
Your report stays active with ReportLost for your entire search period (12 months, depending on your selection). We continue matching your description against new found items posted to Xenia community groups, shelter listings, and local databases. Many items resurface weeks or months later, so staying active matters.
Is ReportLost.org official or affiliated with the Xenia Police or city?
No. ReportLost is an independent service, not part of any government or police department. We're a tool that connects your report to official channels and keeps it circulating through community networks. You're still filing the actual report with the police or relevant agency, but we do the routing and maintain the ongoing search so you don't have to.
