How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what you're looking for, where you lost it in or near Redan, and when. Include any details that make it unique. We generate the report ready to go.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to DeKalb County Police Department, local animal services if it's a pet, transit lost & found if relevant, and we seed it across community search channels. No more guessing who to call or what to include.
Your report keeps searching automatically
While you move forward, your report stays active and continues to match against new found posts, neighborhood alerts, and classified listings. You'll get notified the moment a credible match appears, so the search doesn't depend on you refreshing pages every morning.
Where to report and what happens next
Redan isn't incorporated as its own city, so lost items in the area are handled by DeKalb County services. Here's the direct path to each channel.
DeKalb County Police Department
The jurisdiction covering Redan. You can file a lost property report in person at their office during business hours, or call the non-emergency line. A report typically becomes available within 3 to 5 business days. We route your report to the right precinct and prepare all the details they need.
Xpress Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on an Xpress bus in the Redan area, items are logged within about 24 hours. Call Xpress Customer Service to check if yours has been turned in. We let you know the exact information to provide so your item is easier to track down.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
If you lost an item at ATL while traveling through or from the Redan area, the airport maintains a dedicated lost & found office in the Domestic Terminal. Items are held and catalogued. Email them with your Lost Item Report number for faster tracking.
Lost Pets
Pets lost in Redan should be reported to animal services and shelters in DeKalb County. The sooner you report, the sooner local rescues and shelters are alerted. For a faster, coordinated response across multiple channels, file a priority lost pet report with us—we'll alert the right agencies and community pet networks in your area immediately.

The sooner you report, the better
Every hour counts in a search. Filing your report now means agencies and community members start looking right away, and your description enters the active search system. Once it's in, you can step back; we keep it circulating for you.
Report my lost item →Redan sits in the heart of DeKalb County, a place where things go missing in busy intersections, at local shops, on the bus, and in neighborhoods where residents rely on community networks to stay connected. But those networks are scattered: the police have their system, Xpress has theirs, animal services another, and Facebook groups fill the gaps. If you lose something, you end up making five separate phone calls and posts, hoping each one reaches the right person.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report does the work of five. We send it to the agencies and channels that actually see found items in Redan and DeKalb County, and then we keep your description in circulation for months, automatically matching it against new posts and alerts. That means once you've reported, you can focus on your day, not on becoming a professional search volunteer.

Where do I pick up lost items once they're found?
For items found by police, you pick them up at the DeKalb County Police office during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM). For transit items, Xpress tells you the collection location. For pets, you'll contact animal services or the shelter directly.
Should I file a police report if I lost my item in Redan?

How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and matching against new found items, posts, and alerts for 12 months, depending on the formulation you choose. We notify you if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to monitor community pages yourself every day.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
No, we're an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not part of DeKalb County Police or any government agency, but we partner with them by routing your report to the right desk and keeping it searchable longer than most systems do. Think of us as a coordinator and reminder system, not a replacement for police reports.
