Frequently Asked Questions

Should I file a police report if I lost my item in a store or on the street?

Where do lost items in Paintsville get kept?

Businesses, parks, and government offices each hold their own lost and found. Check with the specific location first. If you are unsure where you lost something, Paintsville Police can help guide you to likely places.

Is ReportLost.org an official service or replacement for police?
