How ReportLost Works in Glendale
You file your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter: your wallet, ring, phone, or pet's description, location, and your contact info.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Glendale Police Department, relevant lost and found offices (including Mitchell Airport if applicable), local animal services for pets, and community groups actively searching in your area.
Your report keeps searching for you
While you move on with your day, your report stays active and keeps matching against new found items, community posts, and marketplace listings across the region. We alert you the moment a credible match surfaces, so you're never checking manually again.
Where to Report in Glendale
These are the official channels—and ReportLost makes sure your information reaches them automatically.
Glendale Police Department
If you've lost personal items like a wallet, purse, keys, phone, or jewelry in public spaces, the Police Department maintains a local lost and found. Report in person or by phone, and we make sure your loss is logged in their system with all the details they need.
Glendale City Hall
Items left at City Hall or municipal facilities are held here. City staff can check their lost and found, and we ensure your report reaches the right department so they know what to look for.
Mitchell International Airport
If you left your item on a flight, at security, or in the terminal, Mitchell Airport's Lost and Found is where it's most likely held. Contact TSA or airport staff directly, and we'll make sure your report is filed with the right desk.
Public Transit Lost & Found
If your item was left on an MTS bus or transit vehicle, check with the local transit authority's Lost and Found Department. We'll point you to the right office and help you file a claim.
Lost & Found Pets
Glendale is covered by MADACC (Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control), the region's primary lost pet organization. If your cat, dog, or other animal is missing, call them immediately, and we'll keep your pet's description active in community networks and shelter searches until they're found. You can also file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost for extra reach.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Every hour counts when something goes missing. File your report now, and let our system handle the legwork of reaching police, lost pet networks, and community groups. Once it's submitted, you can breathe easier—your report keeps searching while you focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Glendale means contacting multiple offices separately: the Police Department, MADACC if it's a pet, the airport if you left it there, and scrolling through Facebook groups and Reddit to hope someone posts a photo. Each channel operates independently, and your lost item gets fragmented across their systems with no central coordination.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File once, and we take your report to all the right places: we make sure Glendale Police knows where to look, we alert MADACC and local pet networks if it's an animal, and we keep your description active in ongoing searches across all local channels for months. You can stop refreshing Facebook at 2 AM, because your report is already working for you.
