How ReportLost works in Clarksburg
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you think you left it, and when. We gather the exact details needed to get attention from the right places.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes straight to the Montgomery County Police Department's lost property line, the right transit depot if it was on a Ride On bus, and we push it to local Facebook groups and community networks where neighbors post found items every day.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report automatically crosses new found-item posts and community reports against your description. You'll get an alert the moment someone reports finding something that looks like yours, so you can reconnect it without lifting a finger.
Where lost items go in Clarksburg
Know your options, but let us take care of reaching them
Montgomery County Police Department
Lost property reports go to the Police Non-Emergency line. We file the report on your behalf and ensure it's recorded in the system where officers and administrative staff can cross-reference found items. Items are held for a set period; we'll tell you exactly how long and what to expect when you reach out to claim yours.
Ride On Transit (MC Transit)
If you left your item on a Ride On bus, it gets routed to one of two depots depending on where the bus line runs. We identify which division covers your route and contact the right depot with all your details, so you don't have to guess which number to call.
Reagan National, BWI, and Dulles Airports
Clarksburg travelers often pass through DC-area airports. If your loss happened in a terminal or on a flight, we point you to the right lost-and-found office and provide contact details for each facility. Each airport keeps items for different periods, and we can clarify the timeline for your specific terminal.
Reagan National (DCA) Lost & Found: 703-417-0110|BWI Airport Lost & Found: 443-960-5424|Dulles (IAD) Lost & Found: 703-572-8479
Lost Pet
A missing cat or dog needs different handling and faster action. The Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center will circulate your pet's description to shelters and rescue networks across the county. Beyond that, your pet also appears in active social-media networks and scanning apps that neighbors check daily. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report.
Retail & Community Spaces
Lost items at Clarksburg Town Center, local shops, restaurants, and parks often end up at customer service desks or store offices. We help you identify the specific business and provide clear instructions on who to contact and when they're most likely to have checked their lost-and-found bins.

The sooner you report, the better
Each day an item sits unclaimed, the risk it gets discarded or donated increases. The moment you realize something's missing, filing a report with ReportLost activates a 6 or 12-month search window across all the places it could be. You'll rest easier knowing it's in motion.
Report my lost item →In Clarksburg and the surrounding Montgomery County area, lost items scatter across dozens of channels: the police non-emergency line, Ride On bus depots, local Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, and a patchwork of small business lost-and-founds. Calling each one, describing your item over and over, and then checking those same places every few days eats up time and energy. Many items turn up but owners never reconnect with them because the information didn't reach the right person or got lost in the noise.
ReportLost simplifies that maze. Submit one clear report, and we immediately notify the Montgomery County Police Department's lost property team, direct it to the correct Ride On bus division if needed, and seed it across the local community channels where Clarksburg residents share found items. Then your report stays active, matching new found posts automatically, so you can step back and let us do the legwork of keeping an eye out.
