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.

The Sooner You Report, the Better

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.
