How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Whether it's a wallet left at a local shop, a ring misplaced at home, or a pet missing from your neighborhood, we gather the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Aberdeen Police Department, relevant local found item databases, Moore County pet networks, and active community channels so the right people know to look.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to cross-reference new found items, pet alerts, and community posts. You don't have to check Facebook groups or call shelters every day, we do that matching for you and alert you when a credible match surfaces.
Where lost items turn up in Aberdeen
Each of these channels handles a different type of loss. We notify the right ones for you.
Aberdeen Police Department
The Police Department's non-emergency line and their lost and found database are the official starting point for lost wallets, phones, purses, jewelry, and other valuables. We file your report with them so they have your contact details and item description from the start.
Town of Aberdeen
The Town's main office and public spaces are where lost items sometimes surface. If you've lost something in or near the Municipal Building, a town park, or during a community event, the town can be a point of contact. We make sure they know what to watch for.
Lost pets and animal resources
Missing a dog, cat, or other pet around Aberdeen? Time matters. The Southern Pines Animal Shelter holds stray animals for 5 days, and the active Lost and Found Dogs of Moore County Facebook group is where most pet recoveries happen in the area. We connect your lost pet report directly to these networks so searchers are looking for your specific animal right away. File a priority lost pet report to maximize visibility.
Community networks
Aberdeen residents stay connected through Facebook groups and neighborhood channels where lost items and pets are shared fast. We post your report to these active communities so word spreads, and we keep monitoring new posts to spot matches for you.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better
Lost items found their way home faster when reported early. Once you file your report with ReportLost, the heavy lifting begins immediately, your details reach the right people, and you can focus on your day knowing the search is underway.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Aberdeen means juggling phone calls to the police station, checking multiple Facebook groups, visiting the animal shelter in person, and hoping someone posts a found item in the right place at the right time. Most lost items slip through the cracks because the networks don't talk to each other, and people give up after a few days of searching.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, one submission, and we handle notifying the Aberdeen Police Department, connecting you with local lost pet communities, and keeping your description circulating across the channels where found items actually get reported. Once your report is filed, your search doesn't stop, it just shifts to us. Your report stays active, continuously working to reunite you with what you've lost.

Questions about losing and finding in Aberdeen
How long does the Aberdeen Animal Shelter hold stray pets?
The Southern Pines Animal Shelter, which serves the Moore County area including Aberdeen, holds stray animals for 5 days. This is why reporting a lost pet immediately is critical. Visiting in person and calling (910) 695-3647 should be your first steps for a missing pet.
Where should I call if I lose something at a local business in Aberdeen?
Call the specific business first to see if an employee found it. If the item isn't there, contact the Aberdeen Police non-emergency line at (910) 944-9721 to file a report. They maintain a lost and found database and can help track items turned in by the public.
What if I lost something in a car or on someone's property?
Check with the property owner or business where you were last. If it's a vehicle, contact the owner or the rental company if it's a rental. Filing a police report through Aberdeen PD creates an official record that can help if someone finds and turns it in to authorities.
How do I search for lost pets across multiple shelters in Moore County?
Start with the Southern Pines Animal Shelter's intake page and the Lost and Found Dogs of Moore County Facebook group. Both are updated regularly with stray animals in the area. PawBoost and My Doggie are free nationwide databases where you can also search and post missing pets.
Can I post about my lost item in local Facebook groups?
Yes, absolutely. Local Aberdeen and Moore County Facebook community groups are highly active for lost and found posts. However, managing multiple posts, remembering to update them, and checking for responses takes time. ReportLost handles that coordination for you and keeps your report fresh across channels.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the Aberdeen Police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not a replacement for them. When you report with us, we file your information with the Aberdeen Police Department and route it to the right local networks. You get the benefit of official reporting plus active, ongoing cross-channel matching that keeps your search alive for months without you having to do the follow-up work.
