How ReportLost Works
You submit one report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details you'll need and handle the paperwork.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Granite Falls Police, Caldwell County Animal Control (if it's a pet), and the community groups where locals post found items.
Your report keeps searching
We don't ask you to check Facebook groups or community boards every day. Your signalment remains active for 12 months, automatically matching against new found posts and alerts so you stay in the loop.
Where Lost Items End Up in Granite Falls
Know your options and how ReportLost connects them all
Granite Falls Police Department
The police take lost and found reports, and items turned in by residents often end up here. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. We file your report with them and track which precinct or desk handles your case so you know exactly where to follow up if needed.
Town of Granite Falls City Hall
Town offices at Park Square handle general inquiries and can direct you to the right department for your lost item. We make sure your report reaches the departments most likely to help based on where and what you lost.
Caldwell County Animal Control
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, this is your first stop. The shelter is at 180 Government Way and holds found animals while staff try to reunite them with owners. Call immediately to register your pet as missing. We also connect your report to the active lost pet Facebook groups so the whole community can keep an eye out. File a priority lost pet report with us for faster notification.
Community & Social Groups
Granite Falls residents share found items on Facebook, Nextdoor, and local community pages. We post alerts to these channels so neighbors see your report right away. We also monitor for any new posts matching your lost item so you don't have to scroll endlessly.

The sooner you report, the better
Items move fast in small towns, and the first few hours matter. Once you file a report with us, you can take a breath. The footwork begins immediately, and your signalment stays active for months. You won't have to wonder if someone found your wallet or keys.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Granite Falls can mean calling the police, checking the animal shelter, posting on Facebook, scanning Nextdoor, and hoping someone finds it. The pieces are scattered across different channels, and without a central place to track your loss, items slip through the cracks. ReportLost brings all those channels together into one action, so you're not chasing leads alone.
Once you file a report with us, we notify the right local authorities and community groups on your behalf. Then the real difference kicks in: your report stays live and continues to search for matches across the area for months, without you having to refresh your browser or re-post every week. You get alerted the moment a credible match surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will Caldwell County Animal Control hold a lost pet?
Most shelters hold found animals for 5–7 business days before making them available for adoption. It's crucial to call the shelter immediately at (828) 757-1300 and register your pet as lost. ReportLost gets your report to them right away so they know to look out for your animal.
Can I pick up a lost item from the Granite Falls Police Department?
Yes, but only during office hours, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 5 Falls Avenue. Call (828) 396-3358 first to confirm they have your item before making the trip. We help you file the initial report so the police know what to look for.
What if I lost something at a local business or restaurant?
Contact the business directly, but also file a report with us. We notify town hall and police, who can ask local merchants to check their lost and found drawers. Having an official report means staff takes the search more seriously.
How do I know if my report is being searched?
Your report remains active for your chosen period (12 months) and automatically checks new found posts and community alerts. You'll receive an alert the moment we find a credible match. No need to check manually; we do the searching for you.
What if my item is found outside Granite Falls?
Many items lost in Granite Falls turn up in neighboring areas or at regional facilities (hospitals, bus stations, etc.). Our report extends to nearby zones in Caldwell County and connects with regional lost and found networks, giving you broader coverage.
Is ReportLost.org official or affiliated with the police?
No. ReportLost is an independent service. We are not part of the Granite Falls Police Department or any government agency. We partner with them and other local channels to route your report and boost visibility, but we don't replace filing directly with police. We simplify the process and keep your search active for months, which is what sets us apart.
