The faster you report, the better the outcome
Every hour counts when something goes missing. The moment you file a report, we begin routing it to local authorities and monitoring the web. Once submitted, you can rest easy knowing that the search is active and ongoing.
Report my lost item →Kenosha has many places where items slip away: the lakeshore, downtown shops, transit buses, the airport, and neighborhood streets. When you lose something, the instinct is to check police, call the bus line, post on Facebook, post on Nextdoor, and monitor each one separately every day. That's exhausting, and it's easy to miss a match buried in a community group or a casual marketplace post.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report, routed to all the right channels, and then we take over the surveillance. We scan the public web continuously on your behalf, so you can focus on your day while we work in the background to bring your item home.

Common questions about lost items in Kenosha
How long do police or businesses hold lost items?
There's no single timeframe across Kenosha. Police typically hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposal. Businesses vary: some discard items after a few weeks, others keep them longer. The sooner you report, the better your odds of recovery before an item is cleared out.
How do I file a report with the Kenosha Police Department?
Call 262-605-5200 or visit the police department at 1000 55th Street during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM). For non-emergency issues, you can also use the city's online citizen self-reporting system for certain incident types.
What should I include when I call about a lost item?
Be ready to describe the item (color, brand, distinguishing marks), where you lost it, and when. Have a phone number and email ready. ReportLost generates a clear summary so you can relay the exact same information each time you call a business or agency.
How do I claim something if it's been found?
Contact the location or agency where it was found (police, transit, a specific store). You may need to describe it and show ID or proof of ownership. Some places ask you to pick it up in person within a set period.
Can I report a lost item on Kenosha Transit?
Yes. Call the Kenosha Transit lost and found at 262-653-4287 (Monday to Friday, 4:55 AM to 7:30 PM). Have your route number and the date you traveled ready. ReportLost can notify them on your behalf and follow up periodically.
Is ReportLost.org official or part of the police department?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with or run by Kenosha Police or any government agency. We're a third-party platform that streamlines reporting and automates follow-up monitoring on public channels. We don't replace the police report—we complement it by ensuring the right departments are notified and by conducting continuous web searches so you don't have to.
