Where to Report a Lost Item
Williamsburg's main channels for recovering lost belongings
Williamsburg Police Department
The Police Department accepts reports of lost items and can help determine jurisdiction if your loss occurred on city property. They can also advise on next steps depending on where and what you lost. We'll generate the details you need and direct you to the right desk.
City of Williamsburg
The City Clerk's office at City Hall can direct you to lost & found services and provide information about items found on city property or in municipal areas. We'll help you know exactly what to say when you call.
Williamsburg-Whitley County Airport
If you lost an item at or near the airport, contact the airport directly. They maintain a lost & found for items left in the terminal or on airport grounds.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, the Knox-Whitley Humane Association and local Facebook groups are your best resources. Time matters with lost pets, so reach out to shelters and post immediately to community networks. For the fastest response and ongoing search support, file a priority lost pet report.

Ready to report your loss?
The sooner you file a report, the sooner all the right channels get your information. Once your report is submitted, you can relax—the search continues automatically on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Williamsburg can feel overwhelming. Between the Police Department, City Hall, community Facebook groups, and the handful of local lost & found offices, it's unclear where to start or whom to contact. Most people end up making the same phone calls over and over, posting in multiple places, and hoping someone notices.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches all the right channels at once, and then your report keeps working for you. Instead of checking back daily or reposting across different platforms, your report stays active and automatically scans for matches—new found-item posts, local listings, and community alerts—so you can focus on other things. If a match shows up, you'll hear about it.
