Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the police department keep lost items before disposing of them?
The Tifton Police Department typically holds lost and found items for a limited period. We recommend filing a report right away with them at 229-382-3132 to ensure your item is logged. With ReportLost, your search continues for months even if the police's holding period ends, since we monitor community channels.
What if I lost my item at a local business or restaurant?
Contact the business directly first, as many hold items for 24 to 48 hours. If it's not there, we'll file a broader report with police and community channels so it shows up if someone turns it in elsewhere. We help you get the word out beyond just the one location.
How do I claim a lost item at the Tift County Animal Shelter?
Call the shelter at 229-382-7387 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.) to ask if your pet has arrived. Provide a description and any identifying details. We'll ensure your report reaches them immediately.
How long will ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and searching for 12 months, depending on your preference when you file. We continually cross-reference new found items, community posts, and local alerts against your description, so you don't have to check back manually every day.
Is ReportLost.org official or affiliated with the Tifton Police Department?
ReportLost is an independent service. We're not affiliated with any government agency, but we work directly with local police, animal control, and community channels to amplify lost and found reports. Think of us as the bridge that makes sure your report reaches everywhere it needs to go, and keeps searching for you.
