The sooner you report, the better your chances
Found items often change hands within the first 24 to 48 hours. Filing your report now means the community and local services are actively looking while the trail is warm. Once you've reported with us, the heavy lifting is done, and your item stays in circulation for months to come.
Report my lost item →St. Simons Island is a close-knit community across beaches, downtown shops, restaurants, and residential neighborhoods, but losing something here means contacting separate systems: island police, city hall, the airport, local lost and found groups, and Facebook pages. That's a lot of legwork. Even when you do reach out, the moment passes, and your lost wallet, ring, or keys slip further into the digital noise.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report, sent to all the right channels at once, and your item doesn't disappear from view. Your description stays active and searchable for months, automatically cross-checked against new found posts and items turning up at local businesses or the airport, so you can focus on other things while the community helps find your belongings.

Frequently asked questions
How long do police and businesses hold lost items?
The Glynn County Police Department typically holds items for 30 to 90 days before releasing them. Local businesses and the airport may have shorter windows, often 2 to 4 weeks. That's why reporting quickly and having your item in active community channels matters, even as businesses rotate their lost and found.
What should I include in my lost item report?
Describe the item's color, brand, distinctive marks, and approximate value. Include the exact location where you lost it (beach, shop name, street corner) and the date and time if possible. Photos help enormously. ReportLost generates the exact format police and businesses need.
Can I check if my item has been turned in?
You can call the Glynn County Police non-emergency line at (912) 554-3645, contact individual businesses directly, or call the airport at (912) 265-2070. However, tracking dozens of places manually is exhausting. ReportLost's active report means you're alerted automatically if a match surfaces instead of doing the calling yourself.
What if I lost something at the airport?
Contact St. Simons Island Airport's lost and found desk at (912) 265-2070 immediately. Items at airports are held according to federal guidelines, typically 30 days. ReportLost ensures airport staff are aware of your report and can flag your item if it arrives.
How do I post in the St. Simons lost and found Facebook groups?
Join the 'SSI, Jekyll Island & Glynn County Lost and Found' group on Facebook and post a clear description, photo, and location. Responses are often fast because islanders help each other. ReportLost also posts to community channels on your behalf, multiplying your visibility.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not in place of them. We're not part of Glynn County Police or the city, but we route your report directly to them, community lost and found groups, and local businesses. You get the benefit of one submission reaching multiple places at once, plus months of automatic searching while you get on with life.
