How ReportLost Works
You Tell Us What You Lost
Fill out a quick report with details about your item, where you lost it, and how to reach you. We ask the right questions so every detail counts.
We Route It to the Right Places
We immediately notify the Greenville Police Department, City Hall, local animal services if applicable, and post your report to active community channels where Greenville residents see found items.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and matches against newly found items reported by the community, local businesses, and public services. We alert you the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where Lost Items End Up in Greenville
These are the official channels and services we notify on your behalf.
Greenville Police Department
The police department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by the public or recovered during patrols. We determine the right precinct or desk based on your loss location and generate the report details they'll need.
City of Greenville
Greenville's city offices coordinate with the police department and other municipal services. We notify City Hall so your report is flagged across relevant departments and community bulletin boards.
Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport
If you lost your wallet, phone, or bag at the airport terminal, the airport's lost and found holds items for a set period. We make sure your report reaches them and their team checks inventory when matches appear.
Greenville Animal Shelter
Lost a cat, dog, or other pet? The Animal Shelter in Greenville is the first place they check in. We immediately alert animal control and post your lost pet to community pet networks. If you lost a pet, file a priority lost pet report to speed up the search.
Local Community Groups
Greenville residents actively share found items and lost pet alerts on Facebook groups and Reddit. We post your report to these channels where community members who find things are already looking and posting.

The Sooner You Report, the Better
The first hours and days matter most. Once you file a report with us, your information goes out immediately to all the right channels, and your search begins. You've done the hard part. Let us handle routing it and keeping it active.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Greenville can feel scattered. The police department has a lost and found, the animal shelter handles pets separately, the airport runs its own system, and the city's community channels operate independently. Without a central clearing house, your lost item could sit unclaimed while you're trying to remember who to call and what to say.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report, filed once, gets routed to the right Greenville authorities and community channels simultaneously. We generate the exact information each service needs, and we keep your report actively searching on your behalf, matching it against found items and announcements for months. After you submit, you can focus on your day while we work behind the scenes.
