How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you lost it in Southaven, and when. We gather the details that matter.

Where to Report Your Lost Item in Southaven
Here are the official channels you can contact yourself, or let us do the coordination.
Southaven Police Department
The Southaven Police maintains a Property & Evidence unit where found items are logged and held. If your loss involves a crime or you want an official report filed, this is the starting point. We tell you exactly which precinct and unit handles your location.
Southaven City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the appropriate department or service for items lost in public spaces and provide guidance on lost-and-found procedures. We generate the exact information you need to include so your request is routed quickly.
Lost Pet
If your companion is missing, the Southaven Animal Shelter and DeSoto County shelters keep records of found animals and can scan for microchips. Time is critical with pets, so report immediately to shelters and local pet recovery networks. file a priority lost pet report
Memphis International Airport
If you left something at MEM while traveling through or heading out, contact their Lost & Found directly. They hold items for a limited time, so act quickly. We can help you draft and send the right details.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your chances
Items get claimed or moved quickly, and community attention fades in the first few hours. Getting your loss in front of the right people today means more eyes searching tomorrow. Once your report is filed with us, you can relax knowing the team and the network are on it.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Southaven means juggling multiple reporting channels, all with different hours and procedures. The police have their Property & Evidence office, City Hall has resources, animal control is separate if it's a pet, and community groups are scattered across Facebook. By the time you've called everyone, hours have passed, and posts fade fast on social media.
ReportLost cuts through that. One report to us, and we notify the right local authorities, connect your item to the community, and keep your search running in the background for months. You file once, we handle the rest, and your listing stays active and searchable while you breathe easier knowing the network is working.
