Start Your Search Now
The sooner your report is filed and routed to local police, transit, and community channels, the sooner matches can surface. Filing takes just a few minutes, and you'll rest easier knowing your report is actively searching.
Report my lost item →Buckhead's busy streets, shopping centers, and transit connections mean items go missing fast. When your wallet, bracelet, or phone disappears, finding it means contacting Atlanta Police, MARTA, individual businesses, and scrolling through Facebook groups and Reddit posts yourself. It's scattered, time-consuming, and most people give up after the first few days.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report triggers outreach to every local authority and community channel that matters, and your filing continues to match incoming "found" posts and local listings without you checking every day. Once you submit, you can breathe. Your report works for you for months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Atlanta Police hold a lost item if someone turns it in?
The Atlanta Police Department's retention period for lost property depends on the precinct and the item type. Generally, items are held for 60 to 90 days before being disposed of or donated. That's why filing a report quickly is important. ReportLost ensures your report reaches the Buckhead Village precinct immediately so they can flag your item if it arrives.
Does MARTA charge a fee to retrieve my lost item?
No, MARTA does not charge a retrieval fee. However, appointments are now required as of June 2025. Email lostandfound@itsmarta.com or call (404) 848-3208 to schedule. We provide you with the contact info and details to include so your retrieval is smooth.
What if I lost my item at a business in Buckhead?
Call or visit the business directly to ask if your item was turned in. Restaurants, shops, and malls maintain their own lost-and-found desks. ReportLost helps you prepare a clear description and guides you on what to say so your inquiry is as effective as possible.
How do I check multiple Facebook groups and Reddit for my lost item?
You can browse Facebook groups like 'Lost and Found Pets Atlanta' and subreddits like r/Atlanta manually, but that requires checking daily and searching across multiple platforms. ReportLost automates this by cross-referencing your report against new posts in these communities and alerting you to credible matches, so you don't have to monitor them yourself.
How long will ReportLost keep searching for my item?
Your report stays active for your entire search period, either 12 months depending on your choice. During that time, your report continuously matches against new found items, social posts, and local listings. If a credible match surfaces, you'll get an alert immediately. You pay once, and your report keeps working without any monthly renewal or subscription.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the Atlanta Police Department or any government agency. We complement official channels by ensuring your report reaches police, transit, and community groups simultaneously, and by keeping your search active over months rather than just filing it once. If your loss is urgent or involves a crime, always call 911 or the Buckhead Village precinct at (404) 546-5486.
