Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I report a lost item to ReportLost?
We send your report to the Cleveland Police Department, Bradley County Sheriff's Office, and relevant local channels (like CUATS if it's a transit loss, or SPCA of Bradley County if it's a pet). Your report then stays active in our system, cross-referencing new found posts and community alerts for 12 months. You receive an alert if a credible match appears.
How long do police and shelters keep lost items?
The Cleveland Police Department and Bradley County Sheriff's Office typically hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposal, though this can vary. The SPCA of Bradley County keeps lost pets for similar periods. This is why acting fast matters: the sooner your report is filed and circulated, the sooner community members and staff can identify and hold your item.
Do I still need to call the police or SPCA myself?
ReportLost handles notifying them for you. However, if you want to follow up directly or check on a specific item, contact the Cleveland Police Department at 423-559-3311 or the SPCA at 423-790-1915. We give you the information you need to do either.
What if I lost my pet? Is there a faster process?
Yes. Lost pets need urgent attention. ReportLost has a priority lost pet report that reaches the SPCA of Bradley County, local vets, rescue networks, and pet-focused Facebook groups immediately. The sooner your pet's description and photo circulate, the higher the chance of recovery. <a href="/report-lost-pet"><strong>File a priority lost pet report</strong></a> to accelerate the search.
Can ReportLost help if I lost something on a CUATS bus?
Absolutely. We connect your report directly to CUATS lost and found at 423-478-1396 and keep it active while they search their records. You don't have to call repeatedly or guess which bus or route to check.
Is ReportLost.org an official service, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We are not affiliated with the Cleveland Police Department, Bradley County Sheriff's Office, or any other government agency. We do not replace official reporting. Instead, we streamline the process of notifying all the right people at once and keep your report active and searchable for months.
