Where to report a loss in Greenville
The official channels, plus what ReportLost does for you
Greenville Police Department
The police keep a found property log and are your first contact for stolen or lost items. We generate the exact details to provide and tell you which precinct handles your location.
Mercer County Community Transit
Lost something on a local bus? Found items are held for up to 30 days at the administrative office. We help you file the report and follow up on your behalf.
Lost Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, time matters. Strayhaven Animal Shelter and local humane societies in Mercer County are the primary recovery points. We also post to every pet-specific Facebook group and alert shelter staff directly. File a priority lost pet report
Borough of Greenville
The borough office can direct you to additional resources and sometimes holds items found on public property. We point you to the right department and handle the initial outreach.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Wallets, rings, and phones are often turned in to local shops, restaurants, parks, and gathering spots where they were lost. We contact the most likely venues based on your details and stay in touch over weeks and months.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your odds
Found items stay longest with police, shelters, and businesses in the first few days. But once your report is active, it continues to work for you even as time passes, matching against new posts and arriving animals. Don't wait until it's too late to get started—report now, and let us handle the follow-up.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or pet in Greenville means reaching out to the police, checking shelters, posting on Facebook groups, and calling transit—all separately, all on your own timeline. Worse, if someone posts a found item days later, you might miss it while managing everything else. That's where ReportLost steps in: one single report replaces the entire cycle.
We take your loss details and make sure they reach the Greenville Police Department, local animal shelters, Mercer County Community Transit, and every active community channel where Greenville residents post found items. Then, your report continues to search automatically for 12 months, matching your description against new found posts and listings—no daily checking required. You report once, and we keep searching for you.
