Text LOST to 1.833.ATLPETS for alerts, and file a priority lost pet report so your pet gets maximum visibility across all channels.

Questions about lost items in Doraville
How long does the Doraville Police Department keep lost items?
The Police Department typically holds unclaimed items for a limited period before disposal. Items may also be released to evidence storage or donated. Call (770) 455-1000 as soon as possible to report your loss and check their current retention policy.
What if I lost something at a local business or retail store?
Call the business directly and ask if anyone turned in a lost item matching your description. Most retail locations hold items at the customer service desk for 30 to 90 days. If the business has a policy of turning items over to Police after a certain period, ask when that happens.
How do I check if my lost item ended up at the airport?
If you lost something at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, contact the Lost and Found office at lost@aatc.org or visit their portal. They retain items and search by description and date. Have your flight number and approximate time of loss ready.
What should I do if I lost a pet in Doraville?
Act immediately. Text LOST to 1.833.ATLPETS (1.833.285.7387) to receive alerts, post on the 'Lost and Found Pets of Fulton and DeKalb County' Facebook group, contact DeKalb Animal Services, and check local rescue organizations. Filing a priority lost pet report on ReportLost ensures your pet gets maximum visibility across all channels.
Are there any lost and found databases I can search myself?
You can post directly to Nextdoor and local Facebook groups, call the Police non-emergency line to check their records, and contact City Hall. Checking these channels yourself is possible, but it takes time and they don't all communicate with each other. A ReportLost report does this coordination for you automatically.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace the police or other lost and found services?
No. ReportLost is an independent service created to save you time coordinating reports across multiple official channels. We don't replace the Police, City Hall, or local businesses. Instead, we route your report to them, ensure it reaches community networks, and keep your report active while you focus on your day. The official agencies and services still handle the actual lost items and claims.
