How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. A ring left at a local restaurant, a wallet after shopping downtown, a phone in a taxi, a beloved cat missing from your neighborhood. We gather the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
We alert the Welcome Police Department, reach out to the relevant city offices and nearby business lost and founds, and post your report to the community channels where locals actually look for missing items. No back-and-forth calls needed.
Your report keeps searching for you
We don't stop after the first day. Your report stays active for your entire search period, automatically cross-checking new posts, found item announcements, and community updates. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can act fast without checking sites yourself every day.
Where to report a lost item in Welcome
Each of these places holds lost and found separately. ReportLost connects them all with one submission.
Welcome Police Department
The Welcome Police Department accepts lost and found reports and can store items for a limited time. They're your first official contact for any loss. ReportLost files the report for you and ensures it reaches the right desk.
Welcome City Hall
City Hall maintains a lost and found for items turned in by residents and businesses. You can visit or call to check if your item has been brought in. ReportLost points you to the exact office and generates the details to include in your inquiry.
Local businesses and public places
Restaurants, shops, parks, and other venues keep their own lost and found collections. Items left behind often end up there within hours. If you remember where you lost your ring or wallet, the business may already have it. ReportLost helps you figure out which places to contact and what to say.
Lost pet help
A missing dog or cat needs immediate attention. Contact local animal control, reach out to the Greenville Humane Society, and post alerts on PawBoost and Facebook pet groups. The faster you act, the better. If your pet is lost in or near Welcome, file a priority lost pet report to activate our pet-specific recovery network.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Lost items have the highest chance of being recovered within the first few days. Once you file a report with ReportLost, your information reaches the key places right away, and your report starts its ongoing search. You don't have to wait or wonder—we take the next steps for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Welcome means making calls to the police, checking the city hall lost and found, reaching out to local shops and restaurants, posting on Facebook groups, and refreshing search pages daily. Each place holds lost items separately, and there's no single system tying them together. It's scattered, time-consuming, and easy to miss a lead.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches the Welcome Police Department, covers the ground you'd normally cover yourself, and stays active for months. Your ring, wallet, or pet doesn't just get reported once and forgotten. Your report keeps searching automatically, matching against new found items and community posts, so you can rest knowing the system is working for you even while you sleep.

Questions about lost and found in Welcome
How long does the Welcome Police Department keep lost items?
Most police departments in South Carolina hold lost items for 30 to 90 days before releasing unclaimed property. Check with the Welcome Police Department directly at their non-emergency line to confirm the exact timeframe and whether your item has been logged.
What if I lost my item in a local business or restaurant?
Call or visit the business where you believe you left it. Many hold items for a few weeks in case the owner returns. If you lost it at a restaurant, mention the date and time to help them narrow down the shift. ReportLost helps you figure out what details to include and can coordinate a follow-up if the business doesn't have it.
Can I report a lost item without going to the police station in person?
Yes. You can file a report by phone with the Welcome Police Department's non-emergency number, or through ReportLost, which handles the submission for you and ensures it reaches the right department. An in-person report is sometimes faster if you're nearby, but it's not required.
How do I search for found items in Welcome?
Check the Welcome Police Department's lost and found, visit local businesses where you lost the item, search PawBoost for pet losses, and browse Facebook groups like 'Lost & Found Pets of Upstate, SC' and Nextdoor. ReportLost posts your report to these channels so you don't have to check each one separately every day.
What should I include when reporting a lost item?
Describe the item in detail, note the color, any distinguishing marks, and where and when you lost it. For a wallet, mention if it had an ID or distinctive features. For a pet, include their breed, size, color, and collar description. ReportLost guides you through gathering this information and formats it for each channel.
Is ReportLost an official service, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We're not affiliated with the Welcome Police Department or city government, but we integrate with them. When you report with us, we file your information with the police and relevant local offices, so you get the official report plus the benefit of ongoing community outreach and automated matching for 12 months. Filing a police report is still recommended for valuable items or crimes, and ReportLost can help you do that.
