How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed to reach the right places in Fair Oaks.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes straight to Fairfax County Police, the CUE Bus system if relevant, Dulles or Reagan airports, and local community groups. No back-and-forth on your end.

For your entire search period, your report stays active and matches against new found items, community posts, and online listings. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, no daily checking required.
Where lost items go in Fair Oaks
These are the official channels. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Fairfax County Police
If your loss happened on a street, in a park, or at a public location, Fairfax County Police may have received it or can file a lost property report. They hold items and can direct you to the right precinct based on location. We identify which station covers your loss and supply all the details they'll need.
CUE Bus (City of Fairfax transit)
Left something on a CUE bus? The lost & found holds items for 30 days. Contact them directly, or we can file the report and follow up so you don't have to keep calling.
Reagan National & Dulles airports
If your loss happened at Reagan National (DCA) or Dulles (IAD), both airports maintain separate lost & found offices. Each has its own procedures and holding periods. We route your report to the correct terminal and department.
Reagan National (DCA) Lost & Found: 703-417-0110|Dulles (IAD) Lost & Found: 703-572-8479
City of Fairfax Government
City Hall and the Police Department both field lost property inquiries and maintain records. If your loss isn't location-specific, they can advise on next steps or hold items if recovered by city staff.
Lost pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, Fairfax County Animal Services maintains a lost and found database and can help reunite you with your companion. Community groups like the NOVA Lost and Found Pets network also actively share missing pet alerts. For immediate help and ongoing search support, file a priority lost pet report.

Don't let time slip away
The sooner you report a loss, the better your chances. Once you've filed with us, your report is on its way to the right places, and you can focus on other things. Our team and automated matching handle the rest.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Fair Oaks means contacting multiple places: the police non-emergency line, transit services, local Facebook groups, and hoping someone posts it online. Each agency holds items for different lengths of time, and there's no single place where all lost-and-found efforts meet. The clock starts ticking the moment you realize something's missing.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report, filed once, automatically reaches Fairfax County Police, CUE Bus lost & found, relevant online communities, and any other local channel where your item might surface. Your report doesn't expire after a few days—it stays active and searching for a full 12 months, cross-checking new posts and recovered items so you can move on instead of refreshing lost & found pages every single day.
