Where things get lost and found in Virginia
Each channel has a role, but ReportLost connects them all in one action.
Virginia Police Department
Report lost wallets, phones, jewelry, and other valuable items. The police keep a lost and found and file reports that stay in the system. We tell you exactly where to send details and which precinct covers your loss location.
City of Virginia, Minnesota
City Hall handles general inquiries and can direct you to the right municipal office or department. If you've lost something in a city building or park, this is a good starting point. We can guide you to the relevant city contact.

Lost something on a local bus? Arrowhead Transit serves Virginia and surrounding areas. Report bus losses directly to their dispatch or submit a lost and found request. We generate the exact info to include in your claim.
Eveleth-Virginia Airport
If you lost an item while traveling through the regional airport, contact the Airport Coordinator or the Lost and Found office. Larger regional airports like MSP also have dedicated lost and found services for connecting passengers.
Lost Pet
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, contact the Mesabi Humane Society immediately. They maintain a current lost and found pet registry, work with local rescues, and post alerts. You can also reach community pet networks on Facebook and PawBoost. For urgent help, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to activate our pet search network.

The biggest difference is what happens next. After you report with ReportLost, you can stop worrying about re-posting or re-checking. Your report stays live for months, automatically matching against new found items and community listings. Once your report is filed, our team handles the routing and ongoing search, so you can focus on your day while we work to reunite you with what you've lost.
