Where to Report a Lost Item in Alcoa
A direct look at Alcoa's lost and found channels. You can report to each one yourself, or let us do it.
Alcoa Police Department
File a lost property report with APD. They document items and cross-reference found items brought in by community members and businesses. We tell you which department to contact and what details they'll need.
City of Alcoa Services
The City can direct you to the right department or office if you lost something at a municipal facility. We coordinate with city staff on your behalf.
McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS)
Lost something at the airport? McGhee Tyson maintains its own lost and found for items left in terminals and security areas. Items are held for a set period before disposal. We connect you with the right contact window.
KAT Transit (Knoxville Area Transit)
If you left your wallet or phone on a KAT bus, the lost and found counter at Knoxville Station collects items by noon the next day. We'll provide the exact inquiry steps.
Lost Pets in Blount County
If your dog, cat, or pet went missing, contact the Friends of the Blount County Animal Center or check local shelters. The community also posts found pets actively on Facebook. Instead of juggling calls and searching posts yourself, file a priority lost pet report with us and we'll route it to all the right places.
