How it works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. One form captures everything the authorities and community need to know.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches Smyrna Police, City Hall, Cobb Transit (if applicable), animal services, and the local Facebook and Nextdoor networks that residents actually check.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
We scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor, marketplaces, and public web listings continuously for months. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert, so you never have to check obsessively yourself.
Where lost items go in Smyrna
Each service handles specific categories. ReportLost makes sure yours reaches the right one and stays visible across all of them.
Smyrna Police Department
Items left at businesses, in vehicles, or found on streets often end up here. The Smyrna Police maintain a lost and found database. Report to them directly at the non-emergency line, but ReportLost generates the exact details they need and confirms your report is logged.
City Hall & Public Spaces
Lost items found in City Hall, parks, recreation areas, or at public events are sometimes held here. City Hall can direct you to the right department. ReportLost alerts them to your loss so they can check and flag your item if it comes in.
Cobb Transit (CobbLinc)
Items left on buses or at transit stations in the Cobb County system are held by Cobb Transit Customer Service. They track lost and found by route and date. We direct your report to them and monitor their channels for updates.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
If your loss occurred at ATL (Smyrna residents fly in and out regularly), the airport's Lost and Found office holds items for up to 30 days. They have a formal report system and can search by flight and date. ReportLost ensures your item is cross-referenced there as well.
Cobb County Animal Services
Lost dogs, cats, and other pets are checked in by residents and brought to Cobb County Animal Services. Visit in person or call with a description, and we also file a priority lost pet report that reaches shelters and rescue networks across the county.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Lost and found systems rely on accurate, timely information. The moment you realize something is gone, submitting a report locks in all the details while they're fresh and ensures every local channel is alerted while people are still actively searching and checking their items. Once your report is filed, our team takes it from there, and you can breathe easier knowing the search is underway.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Smyrna means contacting multiple offices, hoping the right person sees your post on the right platform, and refreshing social media every day to catch a "found" listing before it disappears. It's fragmented, time-consuming, and easy to miss leads.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. Submit your details once, and our team routes them to Smyrna Police, City Hall, Cobb Transit, local animal services, and community groups all at once. Then, instead of spending weeks searching, we monitor the entire web for you, cross-referencing descriptions, locations, and dates across every platform. When we spot a match, you're notified immediately. You can finally stop checking and start recovering.
