The places that handle lost and found, and what ReportLost does for you
Fairburn Police Department
The Police Department documents lost and found property and makes efforts to identify and contact owners. You can report in person or by phone. We identify your location's jurisdiction and connect your report directly to the right desk.
Fairburn City Hall
City Hall coordinates with local departments and can direct you to the right office depending on where you lost your item. If it was lost on city property or in a public space, this is often your starting point. We can point you to the exact department handling your situation.
Fulton County Animal Services
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in the Fairburn area, Fulton County Animal Services is where strays are brought. They hold animals for a set period and can notify you if yours arrives. You can also text your lost pet alert to their system. To give your missing pet the best shot at reunion, file a priority lost pet report with us as well.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
If you lost something at ATL (about 20 minutes from Fairburn), the airport's Lost and Found office is in the Domestic Terminal Atrium, 3rd floor. You can also email your report. We can generate the exact info needed to include in your airport inquiry.

The sooner you report, the better
Acting quickly improves the chances that your item is still in the system or hasn't been cleared. Once you've filed your report with us, the Fairburn Police Department, community groups, and animal services are all alerted. Then you can breathe easy, knowing your report is working for you even while you're focused on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable or irreplaceable in Fairburn can feel isolating, especially when you're not sure whether to call the police first, check with City Hall, post on Facebook, or call the animal shelter. Each agency operates separately, and coordinating reports across all of them eats up time you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches the Fairburn Police Department, local lost pet networks, and active community channels at once. Better still, your report stays active for months, continuously matching against new found items and shelter intakes so you can focus on other things while we keep searching for you.
