How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it, and any identifying details. We gather the right information upfront so the police and other services get exactly what they need.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Savannah Police Department, CAT's lost & found if it's transit-related, Savannah/Hilton Head Airport if applicable, and the Chatham County Animal Services if it's a pet. We handle all the notifications for you.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
We scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, local marketplaces, and community channels continuously for 12 months, cross-referencing location, date, and description. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert. No need to refresh pages or check back obsessively.
Where Your Item Might Be (and How We Help)
Savannah has several key places where lost items turn up. We make sure your report reaches all of them automatically.
Savannah Police Department
The SPD Property and Evidence Unit holds lost property and processes police reports. They can take your report online or over the phone, and hold items recovered by officers. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and make sure your details are filed correctly.
Chatham Area Transit (CAT)
If you left something on a bus or at the transit center, CAT's lost & found can help. Items are held at CAT Central, and the team checks for your property when you call. We make sure a description of your item gets to them right away.
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport
The Visitor Information Center in Baggage Claim handles airport lost & found, and TSA holds items found at security checkpoints for a minimum of 30 days. We ensure the airport's team is alerted if your loss occurred in the terminal or on the tarmac.
City of Savannah
Parks, public buildings, and municipal facilities sometimes hold lost items. City Hall can point you to the right department or facility. We make the call to ensure your report is logged in the appropriate place.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Savannah, Chatham County Animal Services is your first stop. They keep found animals for 6 days a week and post photos online. Local rescue groups and Facebook communities also help reunite families with their pets. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report with us for instant social amplification.

The Sooner You Report, the Better
Every day that passes makes it a little harder to track down what you've lost. Once you fill out your report with us, your item description gets in front of all the right services and stays on our radar for months. You'll rest easier knowing the web is being watched for you.
Report my lost item →Savannah's historic squares, riverfront, and bustling downtown make it easy to set something down and move on. Whether you've left a wallet at a café, misplaced glasses at one of the city's attractions, or lost a phone on a CAT bus, retrieving it means navigating separate offices, police reports, and then scanning social media yourself every single day. That's exhausting and often unsuccessful.
ReportLost simplifies everything. One report goes out to all the right channels—police, transit, airport, animal services—and then our system watches the entire web for you. We monitor local Facebook groups, Nextdoor, classified sites, and community posts continuously, looking for 'found' items that match yours. Once you've reported, you can breathe easy. The surveillance runs in the background while you get on with your life.
