How ReportLost works for Marietta residents
You file your report
Describe what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right local channels in Marietta and Cobb County.
We route it to the right places
Your loss goes to the Marietta Police Department, relevant city services, Cobb Transit, and other local recovery points. No need for you to call around.
We search for it continuously
Our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, community marketplaces, and social channels across the Marietta area for posts matching your item, date, and location. You get notified the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing the same sites every day.
Where to report a lost item in Marietta
Each of these services handles found items. ReportLost alerts them and monitors the web so you don't have to.
Marietta Police Department
File a police report for lost items at the Police Department, located behind City Hall. They document losses and may help locate items recovered in the city. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and can help you provide all the details they need.
City of Marietta
Marietta City Hall can direct you to the right department for your situation, whether it's parks and recreation, public facilities, or downtown businesses. They also maintain records of items found in city spaces. We point you to the exact office that handles recoveries in your area.
Cobb Transit (CobbLinc)
If you left something on a bus, CobbLinc's customer service team checks their lost-and-found. Contact them by phone during business hours. We generate the complete description and route information you'll need to give them.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
If your loss happened at ATL (about 30 minutes from Marietta), file a lost item report with the airport's Lost & Found office. They hold items for a set period. We can help you document and file with them.
Lost Pet?
If your pet is missing, reach out immediately to Cobb County Animal Services. Visit the shelter with identification and vet records, or call their hotline. The sooner you report, the better your chances of reunion. For broader visibility, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost, and we'll spread the word across local pet networks and monitor found-pet posts in real time.
