How ReportLost works for Powell
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter for the official channels and community groups in the Knoxville area.
We notify the right places
Your report goes directly to Knoxville Police, KAT transit (if lost on a bus), McGhee Tyson Airport, local animal shelters, and the community groups where Powell residents search and post found items.
Your report keeps searching
Once filed, your report remains active across all channels and continuously matches against new found item posts, alerts, and announcements. You don't check back every day, the search keeps working for you.
Where items end up in Powell and Knoxville
Understanding the channels helps you act faster. We handle routing for you.
Knoxville Police Department
Items turned in to police are logged and held at the Property Management section. We help you navigate the reporting process and ensure your loss is documented with KPD. Call the non-emergency line if you found your item while searching.
KAT (Knoxville Area Transit)
Lost something on a bus? Items are brought to the Customer Service Counter at Knoxville Station by noon the next day. We identify which report details matter most for KAT's tracking system.
McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS)
If you left something during air travel, McGhee Tyson has a dedicated lost and found office. We point you to the exact department and help document your report so it reaches the right counter.
Animal shelters & lost pet networks
A lost cat or dog in Powell is often brought to Young-Williams Animal Center or reported through PawBoost and local Facebook groups. Our lost pet service ensures your missing animal reaches shelter databases and community posts immediately.
Community lost and found channels
Powell residents post found items in Facebook groups and local community spaces. We generate alerts across these networks, ensuring your lost wallet, phone, or bracelet shows up where people actively search.

The sooner you report, the sooner we can help
A clear, early report improves your chances significantly. Once you file with us, the search is no longer on your shoulders, your report keeps working across all channels and for the full search period.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Powell is frustrating because the places to report and look are scattered. Your wallet or ring might end up with the Knoxville Police Department, KAT's lost and found counter, or shared in a Facebook group by someone who found it, but you'd have to call or search each one separately.
ReportLost simplifies the process. One report reaches all the right channels at once, and because your report stays active for your entire search period, you gain time and peace of mind. Instead of refreshing community pages and calling offices every few days, your lost item continues to get matched against new found items automatically, with alerts sent to you when a credible match appears.
