They're also a hub for community notices. We make sure your report reaches the right town office so you don't waste time on hold explaining your situation twice.

Start Your Report
The sooner you report, the sooner your item enters the search network and stays there, working for you. It takes just a few minutes to give us the details.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Signal Mountain can feel scattered. Your wallet might be at a store downtown, your ring at the town parks, your phone somewhere on the hillside or at a local restaurant. Meanwhile, the police have their own lost and found, Town Hall has another channel, community Facebook groups are doing their thing, and you're supposed to check everywhere yourself, every single day, hoping someone found it and posted about it.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, filed once, gets routed to the Signal Mountain Police Department, Town Hall, and the active local community groups where lost items actually surface. And here's the difference: your report doesn't just sit there. It stays active for months, automatically scanning for matches so you're not the one refreshing Facebook every morning. Once you report it, you can breathe. We take it from there.
