How it works
You tell us what you lost
Share details about your missing item, where you lost it, and when. We gather the information that police, animal control, and local groups need to help track it down.
We notify the right places
Your report goes directly to Smithfield Police, local transit, Smithfield Animal Control if it's a pet, the airport if applicable, and relevant lost and found networks across Rhode Island.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you go about your day, your report stays active and continues to cross-check against new found posts, shelter intakes, and community reports. We alert you instantly if a credible match appears.
Where to report a lost item in Greenville
These are the main channels. We handle the legwork of notifying them all at once.
Smithfield Police Department
Lost property reports go to the Smithfield Police Department, which covers Greenville. They maintain a lost and found log and can direct you to the right precinct based on where you lost your item. We file the report details with them on your behalf.
RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transit)
If you lost your wallet, phone, keys, or bag on a RIPTA bus heading to or from Greenville, RIPTA's Lost and Found office processes those claims. We provide them with the exact details needed to search their inventory quickly.
Rhode Island T.F. Green Airport (PVD)
Leaving Greenville by air or arriving at T.F. Green? Items left in the terminal, TSA checkpoint, or baggage claim are catalogued by the airport's Lost and Found team. We alert them with your details so they can flag your item if it turns up.
Lost pet
A missing dog or cat is every owner's worst fear. Smithfield Animal Control and the Rhode Island shelter network all check the same community networks. Time is critical for pets, so filing a priority report gets your pet's photo and details out to animal control, local shelters, and Rhode Island rescue groups immediately.

Don't let time work against you
The sooner your item is reported across all local channels, the sooner someone who found it can make the connection. Once you file your report with ReportLost, we take it from there, you can rest knowing that Smithfield Police, local shelters, RIPTA, and community networks have your information.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Greenville means reaching out to the Smithfield Police Department, checking the RIPTA lost and found if you took the bus, calling animal control if it's a pet, and scrolling through Rhode Island Facebook groups hoping someone spotted it. Each channel works independently, and they don't automatically talk to each other. By the time you've made all those calls, precious time has passed.
ReportLost simplifies the process. File once, and we route your report to all the right places in and around Greenville, from Smithfield Police to local shelters to the Rhode Island T.F. Green Airport. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching on day one, it keeps searching for you during your entire search period, automatically matching your description against new found items and community posts, so you're not checking sites manually every single day.
