How ReportLost Works
You report your loss in one place
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to contact the right Georgetown agencies and community groups on your behalf.
We route it to the places that matter
Your report goes to the Georgetown Police Department's Found Property division, Scott County Animal Control, local transit, and relevant Facebook groups and community channels so you don't have to call each one yourself.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items, posts, and reports. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you're not checking sites every single day.
Where Lost Items End Up in Georgetown
Each of these channels receives and holds found property. We notify them all with your report.
Georgetown Police Department
The Police Department maintains a Found Property log at their main station on Bourbon Street. If you lost an item in a public space or at a business, it often ends up here. We identify which division covers your loss location and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Scott County Animal Control
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, Scott County Animal Control is your central resource. They maintain records of animals brought in and can alert you to matches. They're open Monday through Friday during business hours. For a priority alert about your missing animal, file a priority lost pet report.
Local Transit Services
If you left something on a bus, Lextran (which serves Georgetown and the Lexington area) and school transportation operate their own lost and found systems. We connect you to the right transit operator based on your route and timing.
Blue Grass Airport (Nearby)
For losses at the airport or during travel, Blue Grass Airport maintains its own Lost and Found office. If your loss happened during air travel, we point you to the TSA or your airline's process as well.
City Hall and Municipal Offices
Items lost at city facilities or during official business may be held at City Hall. We generate the exact information to include when you report, saving you the research.
Community Facebook Groups
Georgetown residents share found items and lost pet alerts on Facebook groups like Lost and Found Pets of Georgetown, Ky. and KY lost and found pets. Your report reaches these active communities so local eyes stay watching.

Report Your Loss Today
The sooner you report, the sooner your description is circulating across Georgetown's lost and found channels. Once your report is in, you can focus on other things. Your report keeps working in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Georgetown means making calls to the police department, checking social media groups, contacting bus operators, and hoping the right person finds it. It's scattered, time-consuming, and easy to miss updates. ReportLost consolidates that process: one report, multiple channels notified, and continuous automatic matching for months.
After you report, our team alerts the Georgetown Police Department's Found Property office, Scott County Animal Control, and active local community networks. More importantly, your report doesn't go quiet. It stays live and active, continuously cross-referencing new found items against your description. You don't need to refresh Facebook or call back weekly, we do the watching for you and notify you only when there's a real lead.

The Police Department's Found Property division holds items for a set period before disposal. We recommend reporting as soon as possible. Once you report with us, your description stays active and searchable for up to 12 months, even if initial recovery takes a few weeks.
What if my pet is lost? Where should I start?
Contact Scott County Animal Control immediately at 502-863-7897. They maintain records of animals brought in and can alert you when a match arrives. For faster and broader community reach, file a priority lost pet report with us, which notifies animal control, local rescue groups, and Facebook communities in one go.

How will I know if my item is found?

Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
No. ReportLost is an independent, private service that works alongside official agencies like the Georgetown Police Department and Scott County services. We are not part of the government, but we partner with official lost and found channels to amplify your report. Our role is to save you time and keep your report actively searching for longer.
