How it works
You report your lost item
Tell us what you've lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter most to the right offices.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Knightdale Police Department's Property and Evidence unit, local transit lost and found offices, and gets shared across community channels where locals can help spot it.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to cross-reference new found items, community posts, and marketplace listings. You'll get an alert if a credible match appears, so you can focus on other things while we help bring your item home.
Where your item might be
These are the main places to recover lost items in Knightdale. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Knightdale Police Department
Wallets, phones, keys, and personal items turned in by the public are logged into the police department's Property and Evidence system. You can call or visit in person Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. We'll tell you which precinct has your area and help you phrase exactly what to ask about.
Public Transit Lost and Found
If you lost something on the bus (GoRaleigh or Tri Delta Transit), items are held in a dedicated lost and found. Call the transit service to check if your item came in, or let us handle that inquiry for you.
Local Shops, Offices & Public Spaces
Hotels, restaurants, retail stores, banks, and other businesses in Knightdale often hold found items for 30 to 90 days. If you remember the specific location, calling the manager directly is usually fastest. We can help you identify which business to contact based on where you were when you realized it was missing.
Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)
If your item was lost during air travel from Knightdale or at RDU, the airport's Lost and Found team holds thousands of items each year. You can also contact the TSA directly if your item was left at a security checkpoint.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog in Knightdale, the Wake County Animal Center takes in strays found across the county every day. Community members also post found pets on local Facebook groups. For the fastest, most coordinated approach to a missing pet, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.

Get your report out right away
The sooner you report, the sooner your item can be matched with someone who has found it. Once your report is live, your search is in motion with the Knightdale Police and local community channels. Time counts at the start, but after you file, you can rest assured that your report will stay active and keep searching for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Knightdale means reaching out to several different places: the police department for items handed in during your commute, local bus services if you left it on a ride, shops and offices where you've been, and community Facebook groups where neighbors pitch in. It's scattered, and it takes time to call each one and check back regularly.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report with us, and we make sure the Knightdale Police Department, local transit, and your neighbors all know what you're looking for. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it. It stays active and keeps comparing new found items against your description for months, so you're not stuck checking every channel yourself every single day. Once you report, you can breathe easier while we help bring your item back.
