How it works
You file a report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include details that matter: color, brand, distinguishing marks. We generate the exact description for official channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Union Police Department's lost and found intake, Union County Sheriff's Office, relevant local businesses or facilities, and gets shared across community networks.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your item description stays active and gets matched automatically against new found items reported locally. You'll get alerts if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check sites yourself every day.
Where to report in Union
Local channels that receive and hold lost items
Union Police Department
The city's Public Safety Department maintains a lost and found for items found within city limits. They hold items for a set period before disposal. We generate the specifics you need to include and tell you which precinct covers your loss location.
Union County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas and also receives lost and found reports. Staff can search their database and advise on holding periods. We make sure your report reaches the right office based on where you lost your item.
Local businesses and public venues
Shops, restaurants, gas stations, and gathering spots in Union keep lost and found counters. If you lost a wallet or phone at a retail location or on Main Street, staff there often hold items for 30 to 90 days. We help you identify which business to contact first based on where you were.
Lost pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, contact Union County Animal Control immediately; they scan for microchips and keep records. The community is also active on Facebook pet groups and Nextdoor. To ensure maximum visibility and ongoing professional search support, file a priority lost pet report.

Start your report now
The sooner you file, the better your chances of recovery. Once you report, our team takes it from there, reaching out to police, local services, and community channels on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Union is a tight-knit community, but losing something here means navigating separate systems. The Police Department has a lost and found desk, the Sheriff's Office handles reports in their jurisdiction, local businesses keep their own records, and community members post findings on Facebook and Nextdoor. Each one requires a separate call or visit, and if you miss a window, your item gets discarded or forgotten.
ReportLost simplifies this. One submission gets your lost item in front of all the right channels at once, and your report remains active for months afterward, automatically cross-referencing new found items as they come in. You can stop making calls and checking groups every morning, knowing your search is running in the background.
Common places where items go missing in Union
Tips for searching and reporting by area
Downtown Main Street
Union's commercial hub sees frequent foot traffic. Wallets, phones, and glasses are commonly lost at shops and intersections. Check nearby businesses first, then file a report to alert the wider community.
East Main Street area
The Sheriff's Office and county government offices are located here. If you lost something at a government building or nearby, contact that office directly, and we'll ensure it's on the official list.
Residential neighborhoods and parks
Items left at home, in yards, or at local green spaces can vanish quickly. Report to police if on city property; if in an unincorporated area, alert the Sheriff's Office and post in neighborhood groups.
Sharpe Avenue
City Hall and administrative offices are here. Lost items left at city facilities go to the Public Safety Department's lost and found, so start there and ask about their holding policy.
