Questions about lost items in East Troy
How long does the East Troy Police Department keep lost items?
The Police Department holds items for a standard retention period (typically 30 to 90 days for unclaimed property, though this can vary). We recommend filing a report early and asking about their specific timeline when you contact them. That's one reason your ReportLost report stays active longer, continuing to match your item against new found reports.
What if I lost something at a local business or restaurant?
Call the business directly first, then file a report with us. We'll route your details to the Police Department, which coordinates with local merchants. Many businesses report found items to the police non-emergency line, so a filed report increases the chance your item gets tracked down.
