Where lost items go in Braddock
Here's what happens when something goes missing in our community. We'll point you to the right place, and we'll do the same for you.
Fairfax County Police
Items left in public places or turned in by residents often end up here. Call the non-emergency line, and they'll check their lost & found records. We'll generate the exact precinct information and incident details you need.
Transit Lost & Found (Fairfax Connector & CUE Bus)
Lost something on the Connector or CUE Bus? Items are held for 30 days. Call the Fairfax Connector call center (open 5am–10pm weekdays, 7am–9pm weekends) or the CUE Bus office. We tell you which service covers your route and what info to provide when you call.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching.
Every hour counts, but once your report is in, you can breathe. We take it from there, routing to police, transit, animal services, and community channels all at once, then keeping your report active during your entire search window.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Braddock is stressful, and the problem gets worse fast. Your lost wallet might end up with the Fairfax County Police, your cat could be at Animal Services, an item left on the Connector bus goes to its own system, and meanwhile you're juggling phone calls, emails, and social media posts trying to track everything down. The channels are separate, the timelines are different, and it's easy to miss the right window to recover what you've lost.
That's where we come in. ReportLost simplifies the entire process into one report. We know exactly which Fairfax County department handles your loss, which transit service covers that route, and which community channels to alert. You fill out one form, we handle the routing, and your report stays active during your entire search period, automatically matching against new found items and alerts so you can focus on what matters. Early reporting genuinely improves your odds, and once you've submitted, the legwork is on us.
