How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. We gather the details that matter: location, description, any identifying marks. Takes about two minutes.
We route your report to the right channels
Your report goes directly to the Statesville Police Department non-emergency line, Iredell County Animal Services (if it's a pet), and the active lost & found groups and social networks where locals actually post found items.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report remains active and continuously crosses new found posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts against your description. You'll get notified if a credible match appears, so you can focus on other things while the search works for you.
Where items get reported and held in Statesville
If you're going it alone, here's what each channel does. With ReportLost, we handle the routing for you.
Statesville Police Department
File a lost property report at the main police office on South Tradd Street. They document lost items and sometimes connect finders with owners, though the system relies heavily on someone turning in your item to them first. We tell you which desk handles lost property and provide the exact details to include on your report.
Non-Emergency Line: (704) 878-3406|Address: 330 S. Tradd St, Statesville, NC 28677
ICATS (Iredell County Area Transit System)
If you left something on a bus, ICATS operates the local transit system and maintains a lost & found for items left aboard. Call their main line to report and ask if your item has been turned in. We make sure your report includes the route number and bus details that speed up their search.
Phone: (704) 873-9393|Address: 1002 Winston Ave, Statesville, NC 28677
City of Statesville
The city office handles questions about property found in public spaces and can point you to the right department if your loss involves a city building or park. We connect you with the appropriate office based on where your item went missing.
Phone: (704) 878-3583|Address: 227 S. Center St, Statesville, NC 28677
Statesville Regional Airport
If you left something at the airport, contact their office directly during business hours. They maintain a lost & found for items left in the terminal, on the tarmac, or in vehicles. For items left on an aircraft, you'll need to contact your airline separately.
Lost Pet? Iredell County Animal Services
Missing a dog, cat, or other pet in Statesville or Iredell County, call animal control dispatch right away and check the shelters. Post immediately in the county's active lost pet Facebook groups, which respond faster than any other channel. If you have a lost pet, file a priority lost pet report with us and we'll ensure it reaches animal control and every community group where locals post found animals.

Getting the word out sooner makes all the difference
The first few hours after you realize something is lost are the most critical. The sooner you report, the fresher the trail, and the more places we can alert before momentum fades. Once your report is filed, you can take a breath, knowing that Statesville Police, ICATS, local animal control, and community groups have your information, and your report will keep matching against new found posts for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Statesville splits you across a dozen different channels: the police report office, the bus company if it's on ICATS, the animal shelter Facebook groups, neighborhood Nextdoor posts, and marketplace listings scattered across the web. By the time you've called everyone and checked every group, days have passed and the trail has gone cold.
ReportLost bundles one report into all the places that matter in Iredell County and beyond. File once with us, and we make sure the Statesville Police Department, local animal control, the bus system, and the active community channels all know what you're looking for. Then your report stays live and matching against new found posts for months, so you're not manually refreshing Facebook groups or calling the same numbers every afternoon.
