The sooner you report, the sooner your search begins.
Every minute counts in the first few hours after a loss. Filing your report now means the Waxhaw Police, Union County offices, and local community groups are already looking. And once it's in the system, your report keeps matching for months—so you can take a breath.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Waxhaw and the surrounding Union County area means reaching out to the police, animal control, multiple Facebook groups, and local merchants all separately. Each office has its own process, timelines, and forms.

Once it's filed, your report stays active and continues matching against new lost & found posts and alerts for months, so you can stop frantically refreshing your phone and trust that the system is working for you.
