Lost something in Augusta? Report it and we'll find it.
File one report and we notify the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, Augusta Transit, Augusta Regional Airport, and local community channels. Then our system monitors the web continuously for matches, so you don't have to.
What did you lose?
If there isn’t an adequate suggestion, select “Other – My item isn’t listed” and enter the item’s category. You can provide details later.

Where lost items go in Augusta
Understanding the system and how ReportLost connects you to all of it.
Richmond County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office handles lost and found reports for items lost in public spaces throughout Augusta and Richmond County. Report in person at 400 Walton Way or call 706-821-1000 (non-emergency 706-821-1080). Hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. We identify which precinct or division covers your loss and submit the report on your behalf, so you can focus on other steps.
Augusta Transit Lost & Found
Left something on an Augusta Transit bus? Call the Transit Customer Service desk at 706-821-1719 Monday through Friday during business hours. Items are held for a period of time before being discarded or donated. We make sure your description reaches the right desk and follow up on their timeline so you don't miss the window to claim it.
Augusta Regional Airport
If you left an item at Augusta Regional Airport (AGS), contact the airport's Lost and Found by phone at 706-793-1137 Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Items left in the terminal or on a plane may be held by airlines or airport services. We ensure your report reaches the airport division and coordinate with airlines if needed.
Local Businesses & Downtown
Restaurants, shops, hotels, and offices throughout downtown and around Augusta each maintain their own lost and found areas. Your item may be waiting at the counter or in a back room. Beyond alerting you to call ahead, we post discreet alerts to community pages and monitor local Facebook groups where people often post found items from specific venues.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a pet, time is critical. The City of Augusta Animal Services operates a shelter at 4164 Mack Lane, open Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday noon to 5 p.m. Call 706-790-6836 to ask if your pet has been picked up. Community members also post found animals on Facebook and PawBoost. To maximize your chances, file a priority lost pet report with us immediately.

Getting ahead makes a difference
The sooner you file a report, the better your chances. Once it's submitted, you can stop worrying about tracking down the right office or refreshing social media daily. Our team takes it from there, scanning the web and checking with local services so you don't have to.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Augusta can feel frustrating. You might have left an item on an Augusta Transit bus, at the airport, in a local shop downtown, or somewhere in between. The challenge is that lost items go to different places: the Sheriff's Office handles reports for general losses, transit has its own system, the airport manages baggage separately, and community members post finds on Facebook. By the time you figure out where to call, days have passed.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report covers all of Augusta's official and community channels, and our automated monitoring keeps looking for your item across the web for months, even while you sleep or go about your day. The moment someone posts a found item that matches yours, you're notified. No more checking the same Facebook groups over and over or wondering if you missed something online.
