How it works
You file one report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include photos and details. We guide you through what to include so the right people understand exactly what they're looking for.
We route it everywhere that matters
Your report goes to Powder Springs Police, Cobb County Animal Services (if it's a pet), CobbLinc transit lost and found (if you lost it on a bus), and community groups where locals actively post found items. No more juggling multiple websites.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report automatically cross-checks new found items against your description. When a credible match appears, we alert you right away. You can finally breathe easy while we handle the ongoing work.
Where to report locally (and how ReportLost saves you time)
Powder Springs has several places that handle lost items. Here's what each does, and how our service fills in the gaps.
Powder Springs Police Department
The police keep a lost and found log and record reports for items lost in the city. When you report through us, we file your report with the right department and generate the specifics they need to locate your item. You can also file directly if you prefer.
CobbLinc Transit (Cobb County)
If you lost your wallet or phone on a bus, CobbLinc's lost and found is your first stop. They hold items for a period before disposal. We contact them on your behalf and check their inventory against your description so you don't miss a match.
Cobb County Animal Services
Lost a cat or dog? Cobb County Animal Services is the official shelter serving Powder Springs. Bring ID and vet records if you have them. We also notify active local pet reunion groups and help circulate your pet's information. File a priority lost pet report for faster coordination with shelters and rescue networks.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
If you lost an item at the airport when traveling from the Powder Springs area, ATL's lost and found office is located in the Domestic Terminal Atrium, 3rd floor. We can point you to the exact process and timeline so you know what to expect.
Community Facebook & Local Groups
Locals in Powder Springs and Cobb County actively post found items on Facebook groups. We check these communities and share your report so friends and neighbors know what you're looking for. We also reach out to groups dedicated to your type of loss (pets, valuables, etc.) so your item gets in front of the right people.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Don't let your lost item slip away
The sooner you file, the sooner local authorities and community members can actively look for your wallet, ring, or pet. Once your report is in, you can rest knowing that the search will continue for months without you having to lift a finger. File now, and we'll do the rest.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Powder Springs is stressful, but the challenge isn't finding where to search, it's coordinating across all the places that might have it. The police department, animal control, the bus system, local Facebook groups, and community pages all operate separately, each with their own intake process and timeline. By the time you call around and file reports in each location, you're exhausted, and nothing is being systematically searched together.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one detailed report with us, and we immediately notify every relevant local authority and community channel in Powder Springs and the surrounding area. Better still, your report doesn't go dormant after a week. It stays active and continues matching against new found items, new Marketplace posts, and community announcements for months, so you're covered even if your lost item turns up later than expected.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Cobb County Animal Services hold a lost pet?
Cobb County typically holds found animals for a period of time before they may be made available for adoption or other outcomes. Contact Animal Services at 770-445-1511 immediately if your pet is missing, and provide them with your contact information so they can reach you if your pet arrives.
Can I check the police lost and found without filing a report?
Yes. You can contact the Powder Springs Police Department at 770-943-1616 and ask if they have your specific item. However, filing an official report with ReportLost ensures the police are actively searching their logs and helps us notify them on your behalf.
How quickly does CobbLinc respond to lost and found inquiries?
Call CobbLinc Customer Service at 770-427-4444 during business hours (Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or Saturday-Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). They can tell you if your item has been turned in. Filing a report with us ensures we also monitor for your item and alert you if it arrives.
Do I need to file a report with the police if I use ReportLost?
For valuable items (jewelry, electronics, phones), filing an official police report can be helpful for insurance and legal purposes. Our service files your report with the Powder Springs Police Department, but you're welcome to also contact them directly at 770-943-1616 if you want to follow up in person.
What happens if my item is found after a few months?
That's exactly why your report stays active. Items often surface weeks or months later, either turned in to the police, dropped off at a store, or posted in a community group. Your report continues to match against new found items throughout your search period, so you'll be notified if your ring or wallet shows up even after time has passed.
Is ReportLost.org an official city or police service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that helps you coordinate lost item reports across official channels. We're not part of the Powder Springs Police Department, Cobb County, or any government agency, but we work with these official services on your behalf and keep your report active far longer than most people would manage on their own. You can always file directly with local authorities as well.
