We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Clemson Police, CATbus if it's a transit loss, Pickens County Animal Shelter for pets, and relevant local community groups. No back-and-forth on your part.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Items disappear or get claimed quickly, and community attention fades if no one knows to look. Getting your loss in front of Clemson Police, CATbus, shelters, and local groups within hours makes all the difference. Once you've filed with us, the legwork is done.
Report my lost item →Clemson's lost and found landscape spans several places: the Clemson Police Department, the Clemson Area Transit office, individual campus buildings, and scattered community Facebook groups. If you've lost a wallet, phone, ring, or other item around town or on a bus, you'd normally have to call multiple departments, post in different groups, and refresh searches yourself for weeks. That's exhausting.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report with us, and we notify the right local authorities and community channels, then keep your report active and searching for a match for months to come. You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing the systems are working together on your behalf, and you don't have to be the coordinator.
