How ReportLost Works in Greensboro
You Tell Us What You Lost
Describe your item, where you lost it in Greensboro, and when. We ask just enough to route it to the right place and generate the exact details to share with police and local services.
We Route It to the Right Hands
Your report goes straight to Greensboro Police, Greensboro Transit Agency, Guilford County Animal Services (if applicable), or Piedmont Triad International Airport. We also push it to the channels that matter locally.
We Keep Searching the Web for You
Every day for up to 6 months, our system scans Facebook lost & found groups, r/gso, local buy/sell pages, and online marketplaces for posts that match your loss. When a credible match appears, you get an alert. No daily manual checking required.
Where to Report Lost Items in Greensboro
Each report matters. Here's where your item goes, and what ReportLost does to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Greensboro Police Department
Most lost items in Greensboro get reported through GPD's non-emergency line. We tell you which desk handles your item type and what details you'll need to provide. Filing an official report creates a record that stays active, and we ensure your description gets into the system.
Greensboro Transit Agency (GTA)
Lost something on a GTA bus or near a stop? The Greensboro Transit Agency maintains a lost and found database. We make sure your report reaches their Customer Service Center and gets logged so that when someone turns in your item, they can connect it back to you.
Call GTA Customer Service: 336-335-6499|Pick up at J. Douglas Galyon Depot
Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI)
Dropped something in the terminal, at a gate, or near security? Piedmont Triad Airport's Lost and Found Services, run by the Airport Police, keeps items for a standard holding period. We generate the exact information to include in your airport report so nothing gets lost in translation.

Lost Pet in Greensboro
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, Guilford County Animal Services and local shelters are your first stop, and there are several active pet lost and found networks in the Triad area. Speed matters with pets. File a priority lost pet report with us to tap into those channels immediately while we monitor PawBoost, local Facebook groups, and shelter intake records.
Guilford County Animal Services
The main animal shelter in Greensboro serves the county. We provide you with their phone number, address, and hours, and we monitor their found pet listings and social channels to see if anyone has turned in your animal.

Ready to Report?
The sooner you file a report, the sooner we can start searching and routing it to the right channels. If you wait, your item might already be online somewhere. Let's get started.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Greensboro means contacting the Greensboro Police Department, checking the Greensboro Transit Agency if it was on a bus, calling Piedmont Triad Airport if you lost it near the terminal, or posting in a dozen different Facebook groups and hoping someone sees it. That's a lot of friction, and by the time you've made all the calls, your item could already be listed online somewhere you haven't thought to look.
ReportLost takes that burden off your shoulders. File one report with us, and we immediately connect you with the right police desk, transit lost and found, animal services (for pets), or airport services. Then our automated monitoring keeps searching public posts, marketplaces, and local social channels for weeks or months, alerting you the moment we spot a match. You can finally stop obsessing and let us do the legwork.

Common Questions About Lost Items in Greensboro
How long will the Greensboro Police hold my lost item?
Greensboro Police's holding period for found items can vary. Check with the non-emergency line at 336-373-2222 to ask about your specific item and how long they'll keep it before disposal. This is another reason filing early matters: the sooner you report, the sooner you can claim it.
What if I lost my item on the GTA bus?
Call the Greensboro Transit Agency Customer Service Center at 336-335-6499 to report the loss and describe what bus route and approximate time. Items are kept at the J. Douglas Galyon Depot. Pick-up hours and item holding periods vary, so confirm when you call.
I lost something at Piedmont Triad Airport. How long is the hold?
Most airports hold found items for 30 to 90 days. Contact PTI Lost and Found at 336-665-5655 (terminal) or 336-931-9609 (TSA checkpoint). Fill out their online lost property form as well so the report is documented. ReportLost helps you compile the right details for that form.
Where do I pick up a found item from the Greensboro Police?
Contact Greensboro Police non-emergency at 336-373-2222 to confirm your item was found and where to retrieve it. You'll likely need to visit the police building at 100 E. Police Plaza, 5th Floor, Greensboro, NC 27401, and bring ID and proof of ownership.
Can ReportLost replace a police report?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that helps you file an official report and then keeps searching for your item on the web for months. We complement official channels, we don't replace them. You should always contact Greensboro Police or the relevant local agency (transit, airport, etc.) directly, and ReportLost makes sure that happens and adds automated follow-up searching on top.
