Where to report lost items in Smiths Station
These are the official channels. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once, but here's what each one does.
Lee County Sheriff's Office
The primary law enforcement contact for Smiths Station. Report theft, lost wallets, phones, jewelry, or other valuables here. They maintain lost and found records and can help if your item was turned in by a community member. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and what details to include in your report.
City of Smiths Station
City Hall can direct you to the right department depending on where you lost your item. If it was on city property or in a public facility, they may have it in their lost and found. We generate the exact information you'll need and point you to the right desk.
Lee County Animal Control
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Smiths Station, animal control is your first call. They maintain shelter records and can help reunite you with your companion. Active from Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. File a priority lost pet report with us for faster coverage of local networks.
Community groups and local networks
Smiths Station residents post lost and found items across Facebook groups and Nextdoor. People are genuinely helpful, but you have to post in the right place at the right time, and manage replies across multiple channels. We connect your report to these networks so you don't have to juggle them yourself.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Lee County Sheriff's Office keep lost items?
Most agencies keep unclaimed items for 30 to 90 days before disposal. This is why speed matters. When you report with us, we immediately alert them so they can match your description to anything already in their care. Your report stays active much longer, so you're not just searching during that window.
What if I lost my pet in Smiths Station?
Contact Lee County Animal Control immediately at (334) 737-7013 (Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). Also post in the Smiths Stations Lost & Found Animals Facebook group. ReportLost's pet report option ensures we alert all local networks and shelter partners simultaneously, and your report stays active as long as you need it.
Do I need to visit City Hall or the Sheriff's Office in person?
It depends on what you lost and whether it's been turned in. ReportLost coordinates the first contact so you know exactly where to go and what to ask for. Many items can be reported by phone first, and city staff can check their lost and found without you making a trip.
How often should I check the Facebook groups and Nextdoor?
People post found items sporadically throughout the day and week. Without ReportLost, you'd need to check multiple times daily. With us, your report is automatically matched against new posts, and you get notified only when there's a credible lead, saving you hours of manual searching.
How long will ReportLost keep my report active?
You choose either 12 months. During that entire period, your report searches for a match against new found items posted locally. You set it once and can focus on life while we keep looking.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We are not the police, but we are trained to route your report to them and other relevant local agencies immediately. If your loss involves theft or a police report is needed, we ensure it gets filed. Think of us as the coordinator so you don't have to make five separate calls and hope everyone has the same information.
