Where to report a lost item in High Point
These are the main places to file a report directly, though ReportLost handles routing for you.
High Point Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found for items reported to or recovered by officers. If your item was lost in a public space or involves potential theft, a police report creates an official record. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and prepare the details you'll need.
High Point Transit System
If you left something on a public bus, contact High Point Transit's lost and found. Their team checks each route regularly and holds items for recovery. We'll make sure your report reaches them with the exact bus route and time details needed to speed up the search.
City Hall & Customer Service
High Point's Customer Service department can direct you to the appropriate city office or department based on where your item was lost, and they maintain records of items turned in to municipal buildings. We generate the right information and phone scripts to get you to the correct desk faster.
Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI)
If you lost an item at the airport, PTI's Lost and Found Services manages recovery. Items can be reported 24 hours a day through their online form or phone line. We ensure all the details TSA and airport staff need are included in your report.
High Point University Campus
High Point University maintains its own lost and found through Campus Police for items found on campus property. If your item was lost at or near the university, reporting directly ensures it enters their recovery system. We provide the exact contact details and best times to call.

If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, time is critical. Guilford County Animal Services, local rescues, and High Point's active lost pet community are your first resources. Pet losses require specialized routing and continuous monitoring across pet networks. File a priority lost pet report

Report my lost item →High Point is a bustling city where items go missing every day, whether on the bus, in local shops, at community centers, or on the street. The challenge is that lost and found information lives in separate places, the police department's records, the transit system's database, business lost and founds, and dozens of community social media posts scattered across Facebook and Nextdoor. Most people end up calling around town repeatedly, checking the same groups over and over, and hoping someone posts their item before it disappears for good.
ReportLost simplifies this by centralizing your report and automating the search. One submission reaches every relevant local office in High Point at once, and we keep watching the entire web on your behalf. Whether your item turns up at a local business, gets mentioned in a community group, or appears on a marketplace, you'll know about it. You can report your loss with confidence that the groundwork is being laid and the search is already underway.
