Where lost items go in Dillon
Here's who to contact and how ReportLost helps you reach them faster
Dillon Police Department
The police non-emergency line is your starting point for items lost in public spaces, theft reports, or items you suspect were turned in. We generate the exact details you need to provide and confirm which precinct serves your loss location.
City of Dillon Administration
For items lost at city parks, public buildings, or municipal facilities, the city offices coordinate with departments and can direct your report to the right desk. We help you identify which city service is most likely to have found it.
Dillon County Animal Shelter & Control
If your cat, dog, or other pet went missing, the shelter is your first call. They hold found animals for a limited time and can check their current intake. Community groups also circulate photos quickly. When you file through us, we alert the right network immediately and file a priority lost pet report.
Local Businesses & Venues
Retail stores, restaurants, gas stations, and public gathering spots often collect lost wallets, phones, glasses, and jewelry. A quick call to the place where you last remember having your item can save time. We help you pinpoint which business to contact first based on your timeline.
