How ReportLost Works in Roxboro
You describe what you lost
Tell us the item (wallet, ring, phone, keys, beloved pet), where you left it, and when. We gather the exact details the right agencies need to begin looking.
We connect you to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Roxboro Police Department, Person County Animal Services (if it's a pet), local transit lost and found if applicable, and shared with active community groups. Each channel gets notified without you having to call them separately.
Your report keeps searching for a match
Throughout your search period, your report continues to cross-reference new found items posted by the community and local services. If a credible match appears, you're alerted immediately. No need to refresh Facebook or call back every week; we do that for you.
Where to Report in Roxboro
Agencies and places that handle lost and found in Person County
Roxboro Police Department
The police hold lost and found items and accept reports of lost property. Call them directly to ask if your item has been turned in, or file a lost property report. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and submit your report on your behalf.
City of Roxboro City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right city department or advise on local lost and found procedures. They're also a good resource if your item was lost in a municipal facility or during an official event.
Person Area Transit Services (PATS)
If you left something on a local bus, PATS maintains a lost and found. Call their office and describe your item. We can generate the exact information they need and submit the inquiry for you so you don't have to handle the follow-up.
Person County Animal Services
When a dog, cat, or other pet goes missing in Roxboro, this shelter is the first place to call and visit. They also maintain microchip scanning stations available 24/7 for quick identification. Pets are typically held for a standard holding period before other outcomes. For a faster, more comprehensive search across the region, file a priority lost pet report with us and we'll immediately alert the shelter and community channels.

The sooner you report, the sooner we work
Filing a report early gives local services more time to spot and hold your item. Once your report is in, you can breathe easier. The Roxboro Police, transit, shelter, and community watchers are all looking. You don't have to.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Roxboro can feel isolating. Your wallet might be sitting in a police lost and found, your pet could be at the county shelter, and community members may have spotted it on social media, but these channels rarely talk to each other. You end up making a dozen calls, posting in multiple Facebook groups, and checking back constantly, hoping something sticks.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File once, and we route your report to every relevant local authority and community channel in Person County. Better yet, your report doesn't go silent after the first day. It stays active for months, continuously searching through new found postings and matching alerts, so you can focus on other things while we keep watch on your behalf.

If your pet is microchipped, any vet or shelter can scan it for free to confirm identity. We recommend also checking their lost pets posts on social media and community alerts.
How do I report something lost on a PATS bus?
Call Person Area Transit Services at (336) 597-1771 to report your lost item and describe it. You can also visit their office at 303 South Morgan Street during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Items are typically kept for a set period before being discarded, so report quickly.
Can I check if my item is at the Raleigh-Durham or Piedmont Triad airports?
If your loss occurred at RDU, contact their Lost and Found at lostitems@rdu.com or (919) 840-7553. For Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI), email lostandfound@gsoair.org or call (336) 665-5600. ReportLost can help you generate the details to include in your inquiry.
