You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you lost it in Moss Point, and when. We gather the details the police and local services actually need.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Moss Point Police Department, city animal control if it's a pet, and relevant local lost and found channels. No back and forth on your end.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For the duration of your search period, your report continues to match against new found items reported in Moss Point and surrounding areas. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.

The police department is your first official port of call for lost items and can coordinate with other services. We submit your report directly to the right desk, so you don't have to explain it twice.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching
Every hour matters when something goes missing. Once you've filed your report with us, your information is live and circulating to the right places. You can take a breath and let the system work while you handle the rest.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet in Moss Point means contacting the police, checking local shelters, posting on community groups, and hoping someone reports it. Each channel operates separately, and nothing automatically connects them. If you lose track of where you posted or when, your item can slip through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report gets routed to the Moss Point Police Department and all the places that matter locally. And unlike a one-time post, your report stays active, continuing to search and match new found items for 12 months. You file it once, then focus on your day while the system works for you.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Moss Point Police Department keep lost items?
Check with the Moss Point Police Department at (228) 475-1723. Most police departments hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposing of them, but procedures vary. This is why filing your report early with us matters, so your item stays on the radar.
If I lose a pet in Moss Point, which shelter should I call first?
Call Moss Point Animal Control immediately at (228) 475-1711, then contact the Humane Society of South Mississippi at (228) 863-3354 ext. 3824 or 3825. They work together but operate separately, so reaching both increases your chances. We help you alert both services and stay connected.
Can I report a lost item found at the airport?
Yes. Contact the Jackson County-Medgar Wiley Evers Airport at (228) 475-1371 directly, or file a report with us and we'll route it to their lost and found desk as well.
What if I lost something on a city bus or in a taxi?
Check with Moss Point city services at (228) 475-0300 for local transit or taxi services. If you use a rideshare app like Uber or Lyft, contact the driver through the app immediately. We can help you file a formal lost and found report with the city.
Do I have to search Facebook groups myself, or does ReportLost post for me?
You can post yourself, but managing multiple groups is time consuming. When you report with us, we ensure your lost item reaches the right local channels. Your report also stays active for months, so you're not relying on a single post that gets buried.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not affiliated with the Moss Point Police Department or any government agency, but we route your report directly to them and other local services so you don't have to manage each contact yourself. You still report to the police, but we make sure it happens and stays active.
