How ReportLost works in Kannapolis
You submit your loss details
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the information needed to route your report to the right places in Kannapolis, from police to transit to local animal services if it's a pet.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes directly to Kannapolis Police, Rider Transit lost and found, Cabarrus County Animal Services, and relevant community groups. No runaround, no repeated calls to multiple offices.
Your report searches continuously
While you move on with your day, your report stays active and matches against new found items, marketplace listings, and community posts. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check sites and groups yourself every single day.
Where to report a loss in Kannapolis
We route your report to all of these. Or handle it yourself with these contacts.
Kannapolis Police Department
If you've lost something in the city, the police non-emergency line is your first stop. They maintain a lost and found database and can guide you on how to file a report. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and what to include.
Rider Transit Lost & Found
Lost something on a bus or left it at a transit stop? Rider Transit operates the Concord-Kannapolis Area Transit system and holds found items at their Customer Service office. We ensure your item description reaches their lost and found team directly.
City Hall & Services
Kannapolis City Hall at 401 Laureate Way houses multiple city departments and can direct you to the right office or help you file an official report. We generate the exact information to include so your report is complete on the first call.
Lost or Found a Pet
Animals found in Cabarrus County are held at the Animal Services facility in Concord. If your pet is missing, contact them immediately and check their found pet listings. Active Facebook groups like 'Lost and Found Pets Cabarrus County, NC' also boost visibility. To ensure your pet gets the fastest response and ongoing alerts, file a priority lost pet report with us.

Don't let your lost item sit in separate systems
The sooner your report reaches all the right places, the sooner someone who finds your item knows to call you. Report now, and let our system do the ongoing search while you move forward.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Kannapolis means contacting the police, checking with Rider Transit, posting to Facebook groups, calling the animal shelter if it's a pet, and refreshing those same channels for days or weeks. By then, items drift away or get claimed by someone else. The harder part? Nobody talks to each other. A found item at City Hall may never reach the police lost and found list, and a pet found on Concord side might not be shared in Cabarrus County Animal Services records.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report creates a single, unified alert routed to every office and community network that matters in Kannapolis. Once you've filed, your report doesn't sit in one inbox. It stays active, cross-referencing new found posts, shelter intake reports, and community shares for as long as your plan is active. You regain your peace of mind, and the search continues automatically while you focus on what matters.
