How ReportLost Works
You Report the Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include any details that make it yours, like color, brand, or identifying marks. The whole thing takes a few minutes.
We Route It to the Right Places
We notify the South Charleston Police Department, City Hall, public transit, Yeager Airport (if relevant), and community groups. You don't have to call each place separately or figure out which precinct covers your location, we handle that.
Your Report Keeps Searching for You
For your entire search period, your report matches against new found items, posts on community boards, and local marketplace listings. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you're not checking Facebook groups and Nextdoor every day.
Where Your Lost Item Might Be
Here's what happens to found items in South Charleston, and how to claim yours.
South Charleston Police Department
Found items are often turned in to local police. The South Charleston Police Department keeps a record and can tell you if something matching your description has come in. We generate the exact information for your report so you give them the right details.
South Charleston City Hall
City offices sometimes hold items found on city property or turned in by the public. City Hall can direct you to the appropriate department and help you file an official claim. We tell you exactly which office to contact and what paperwork you'll need.
Charleston Yeager Airport (CRW)
If you lost your wallet, phone, or ring at the airport or on airport grounds, Yeager Airport's Lost and Found holds items for 30 days before disposal. We point you to the right desk and include the details needed for your claim.
Lost Pet Resources
If your cat or dog is missing, the Kanawha Charleston Humane Association is your first call. They also connect you with local animal shelters and community lost pet networks. Rather than juggling multiple calls yourself, file a priority lost pet report and we'll coordinate across all channels.
Community Groups & Social Networks
Many South Charleston residents use Facebook groups and Nextdoor to post found items and lost pet alerts. ReportLost posts your report to active local groups so neighbors see it right away without you having to manage multiple posts yourself.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The First Few Hours Matter
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner we alert the local places that might have it. Lost items move quickly, and having your report active across all channels increases the chance someone who found your ring, wallet, or dog will connect it back to you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in South Charleston is frustrating, and figuring out where to look is even worse. The Police Department has their process, the airport has theirs, transit has theirs, animal shelters have theirs, and community groups operate independently. You end up making multiple calls, filling out separate forms, and then watching the internet yourself for weeks hoping something shows up.
ReportLost takes that weight off. Submit one description and we route it to every relevant local channel at once, then keep your report active and searching for months while you go about your life. The moment someone reports finding your wallet, ring, cat, or dog, you're notified with a direct match.

For faster coordinated outreach, <a href="/report-lost-pet"><strong>file a priority lost pet report</strong></a> so we alert every local shelter and community channel at once.
Where do I claim a found item at Yeager Airport?
Contact Charleston Yeager Airport's Lost and Found at info@flycrw.com or (304) 344-8033. Have your flight information and a detailed description of the item ready. Items are typically held for 30 days, so call as soon as you realize something is missing.
Can I file a police report for a lost item online?
The Charleston Police Department (which covers some surrounding areas) offers online reporting for certain situations. Check charlestonwvpolice.org or call the Records Division at (304) 348-6400 to see if your loss qualifies. For South Charleston specifically, call (304) 744-6903.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and searching for 12 months depending on which option you choose.

You don't need to resubmit or follow up, we do the continuous checking for you.
Is ReportLost.org official, and does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with law enforcement or city agencies. We work alongside them, not instead of them. Filing a report with us ensures your loss gets posted to official channels and community networks simultaneously, then stays active longer than a single police report might. We're a tool to make the process faster and more thorough, but you can always file a police report directly if you prefer.
