Report Lost or Stolen Property

What should be reported?

York Regional Police only accepts reports of lost property with the hope of returning items to their rightful owners. Still, if you have lost your accessible parking permit, government-issued piece of identification or licence plate, it is important to report the lost property to the appropriate institution as soon as possible.

Similarly, if you've lost a bank card, it is important to report the missing card to your bank immediately to help deter crime. 

If your property was stolen, rather than misplaced or left behind somewhere, please file a theft, or theft from a vehicle report.
