How ReportLost works in Auburn
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate a complete description and file it with Auburn Police, Auburn University Transit Services, AUM Police, and other relevant local channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches Auburn Police Department's Lost Property office, campus transit systems, local businesses, and the Auburn-Opelika lost and found community—all in one go, saving you dozens of calls.
Our system watches the web for matches
We scan Auburn and Opelika Facebook groups, Nextdoor, classified sites, and local social channels automatically—week after week. The moment a credible 'found' post matches your description, you get an alert. No daily checking required.

The sooner you report, the sooner our system starts watching. Your report is live within minutes, and automated monitoring begins immediately. Once filed, you're covered—no daily checking, no follow-up calls to track down.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Auburn means juggling calls to the police, checking multiple Facebook groups, scanning Plainsman Park's lost and found, and hoping someone posts to Nextdoor.

The city's lost property system isn't broken, but it's fragmented, and manual searching is exhausting.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report reaches every relevant Auburn authority and community channel at once. Then our automated monitoring takes over, scanning the web continuously for matches—so you can breathe easy knowing a system is working for you, not the other way around.
