How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to get results, so you don't have to hunt for the right forms or contact info yourself.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Lilburn Police Department, the relevant lost and found desks at transit and venues, Gwinnett County Animal Welfare if it's a pet, and the community groups where Lilburn residents post found items.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and matches against new found item posts on Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local alerts, and shelter intakes. You get notified if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check daily.
Where to Report Lost Items in Lilburn
Each channel has its own timeline and process. ReportLost handles the routing for you.
Lilburn Police Department
The Lilburn Police operates 24/7 and maintains a lost and found for items turned in by residents and businesses. Report to the non-emergency line or visit the station in person. ReportLost files the report on your behalf and confirms it reaches the right desk.
City of Lilburn City Hall
Lilburn City Hall coordinates with police and can advise on where items are typically held and for how long. Staff can also direct you to the right department depending on where you lost your item. We provide the exact information to include so your inquiry gets routed fastest.
Ride Gwinnett Transit
If you left an item on a Ride Gwinnett bus in or near Lilburn, contact their customer service directly. Items are held for a limited window before disposal. ReportLost tells you the exact protocol for bus lost and found and submits the inquiry with all required details.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Lilburn is about 30 minutes from Atlanta's major airport. If you lost something at ATL, their Lost and Found office (3rd floor Domestic Terminal) holds items and processes requests by appointment. We ensure your report reaches the right ATL department with all identifying details pre-filled.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Lilburn, time is critical. Gwinnett County Animal Welfare (Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center) is your immediate contact, and local lost pet Facebook groups have thousands of active members. ReportLost alerts both shelters and the community networks simultaneously, then file a priority lost pet report to maximize visibility.

Found something, or want to start your report?
The sooner your item is reported, the sooner it can be matched with a finder. And once your report is filed, you can take a breath—we keep it live and search for you.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, or phone in Lilburn means checking with the police department, local transit, shops, parks, and a half-dozen Facebook groups—each with its own process and timeline. Lilburn has good lost and found resources, but they're scattered, and without a single report, items can slip through the cracks.
ReportLost cuts through the confusion. You file one report, and we handle the routing: we alert the Lilburn Police Department, contact the relevant lost and found offices, notify animal welfare if needed, and post your item description to the community channels where locals typically report findings. Better yet, your report stays active during your entire search period, automatically cross-referencing new found posts so you can stop refreshing your phone and trust that we're watching for you.
