How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you lost it, and when. Our form takes just a few minutes to complete. We gather the exact details that matter to the right local agencies and search systems.
We route your report where it counts
Your information goes straight to the Rocky Mount Police, the relevant city departments, and transit services. No need for you to call multiple offices or figure out who holds what. We handle the routing so everything gets filed in the right place at once.
Our system watches for your item continuously
We scan local social media groups, community forums, marketplace listings, and other public channels automatically, day after day, looking for posts that match your lost item. You get an alert the moment we find a credible match, so you never have to refresh the same groups yourself.

Learn which agency handles what, and how ReportLost saves you the legwork.
Rocky Mount Police Department
The police hold lost and found items reported to them and maintain a log of recovered property. For non-emergencies, call their main line to report or inquire about a lost item. We automatically include your report details in the notification we send them, so they know to watch for matches.
City of Rocky Mount
City Hall coordinates services across departments and can help direct your inquiry to the right desk if your loss involves public property or services. Our report automatically alerts the city's administrative channels so they can flag your item across their systems.
Tar River Transit
Items left on buses are collected at the end of each shift. Contact Tar River Transit to check if your lost item made it to their depot, or describe what you lost and when you traveled. We notify them of your report so they can cross-reference their recent finds.
Rocky Mount Animal Services & Nash County Pet Connection Center
If you've lost a pet, contact Animal Services immediately. They retrieve strays and maintain records of found animals. The Nash County Pet Connection Center also works to reunite lost pets with their owners.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Rocky Mount can feel scattered.

Managing all these separate channels yourself takes time and frustration.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report triggers notifications to the right departments, and our automated monitoring system does the legwork of scanning the web for you. Instead of checking Facebook groups and local posts every day hoping to spot your item, you submit once and we watch continuously for 12 months.
