Where and How to Report in Smithville
The local agencies and resources you can contact directly, plus how ReportLost simplifies the process.
Smithville Police Department
The Smithville Police keeps found items at their headquarters on Main Street. Many lost items from public places like the tennis courts end up here. We file your report with them and tell you which precinct covers your loss location so you have the right contact info.
DeKalb County Sheriff & City Hall
City Hall and the DeKalb County Sheriff both maintain lost and found services for items found across Smithville. We make sure your report reaches the right desk at each agency so you don't have to figure out the jurisdiction yourself.
Nashville & Knoxville Airports
If you lost your item at Nashville International (BNA) or McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) while traveling from Smithville, those airports have dedicated lost and found teams. We generate the exact details to include when you contact them.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in or around Smithville, the DeKalb Animal Shelter and local Facebook groups are key resources. Acting fast matters with lost pets, and we can help you coordinate alerts across all channels. For urgent pet loss support, file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you file, the sooner all the right people are notified. Once your report is in the system, you can breathe easier knowing the search is active and ongoing.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, or phone in Smithville can feel overwhelming. The local police have their own lost and found, City Hall has a separate process, and community members are posting finds on Facebook every day. Without a coordinated report, your item can slip through the cracks between these different channels.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once with us, and we notify all the right local services on your behalf, then keep your report active for months while the search continues automatically. You won't have to re-post or re-check every few days. Once your report is live, the legwork shifts to us.
