How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. Include details like color, brand, or distinguishing marks. We generate the exact information needed for police records and community alerts.
We notify the right offices
Your report goes straight to the Frederick Police Department's lost property system, Frederick County Animal Control (if applicable), and relevant local Facebook groups and community networks in Green Valley.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active, automatically cross-checking new found items, community posts, and marketplace listings against your description. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to search every day.

BWI Airport (if lost during travel)
Lost something at BWI on the way to or from Green Valley? The airport's Lost and Found team retrieves items left at security, gates, and throughout the terminal. They hold items for a set period, so report quickly. We can point you to the right division to contact.
Community & social networks
Green Valley neighbors post found items and pet sightings on Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and Reddit. Once you report with us, we broadcast to these active local communities so that someone who found your item knows exactly how to reach you. These channels are often where lost-and-found success happens first.

Ready to bring your item home?
The sooner you file a report, the sooner our team can notify the right contacts and activate your search across local channels and records. Starting now means six months or a year of automatic matching, not manual checking.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Green Valley means navigating separate offices, phone lines, and community groups scattered across Frederick County. Between the police non-emergency line, animal control, local Facebook groups, and checking Craigslist yourself, it's easy to miss the very post that could reunite you with your wallet, keys, or pet.
ReportLost simplifies that maze. One report does the work of many phone calls and manual searches. We make sure the right departments know about your loss, broadcast it to the neighbors who actually find things, and then keep your report active in the background, matching against new found items month after month, so you can move forward while we keep looking.

How long does the Frederick Police Department hold lost property?
The Frederick Police Department holds lost items for a standard retention period. Specifics vary by item type and custody circumstances.

How does ReportLost keep my report active for months?
Your report description is cross-checked against new found items posted to police records, community Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and other local channels every day. Instead of you manually scrolling these sources, our system does it automatically. The moment a credible match surfaces, you receive an alert. This continuous matching continues for your entire 6 or 12 month search period.
Can I file a report myself instead of using ReportLost?
Yes. You can call the Frederick Police non-emergency line at 301-600-2101, contact animal control at 301-600-1544, or post to community groups yourself. ReportLost saves you those multiple calls and does the routing and ongoing matching for you, so you don't have to manage the search solo.
