How ReportLost works in Fairfax Station
You report what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. Include details like color, brand, or distinguishing marks. We'll ask a few quick questions to route your report to the right places.
We send it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Fairfax County Police, Fairfax Connector (if it's a bus loss), Animal Services (for pets), and posted to local lost & found social channels. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to call around.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found item listings, local posts, and marketplace alerts. You'll get notified if a credible match appears, so your case doesn't go dormant.
Where to report a lost item in Fairfax Station
Local channels you can use on your own, or let us handle it
Fairfax County Police Department
The primary place to file a lost item report. You can call the non-emergency number to describe your loss and get guidance on recovery, or file online through their Community Reporting System. We automatically notify the right precinct so you don't have to figure out which one handles your loss location.
Fairfax Connector Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Fairfax Connector bus, the lost & found team holds items for an extended period. Call or visit in person. We generate the exact details to include when you call, so you can describe your item precisely to the operator.
Call 703-339-7200 (M-F 5AM-10PM, Sat-Sun 7AM-9PM)|Visit: 4050 Legato Road, Fairfax, VA 22033
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, Fairfax County Animal Services maintains a lost pet database and can help you reunite with your animal. File a report with them immediately and check their listings regularly. For faster, wider reach, file a priority lost pet report with us, and we'll coordinate across all local channels.
City of Fairfax Police Station & Lost & Found
If your loss occurred in the City of Fairfax (separate from Fairfax County), the City Police Station maintains a lost & found and can file reports. Call or visit in person to inquire about your item.

Community Lost & Found Groups
Facebook groups and Nextdoor are where locals post found items and help neighbors reconnect. Posting manually takes time and visibility fades. We post your report to these channels automatically and keep it visible for months.

Don't wait to file your report
The sooner you file, the sooner your report starts circulating to the right channels and building a search record. Once it's filed, you can breathe easy, the system is working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Fairfax Station means contacting multiple places: the police non-emergency line, Fairfax Connector if it was on a bus, the city or county animal shelter for pets, and manually checking Facebook groups and Nextdoor every few days. Each agency holds items for different lengths of time, and there's no central place to coordinate the search.
ReportLost cuts through the chaos. One report gets routed to all the right channels at once, and your description stays active in our system for months, automatically watching for matches so you can focus on your day instead of spending hours retracing your steps and refreshing social media.

Frequently asked questions
How long do local agencies hold lost items?
Fairfax Connector holds bus items for an extended period (check with them for exact timeline). Fairfax County Police and city police typically hold items for 30-90 days. The longer your report stays active with ReportLost, the higher the chance your item is still recoverable when someone finds it and checks against your description.
Which police department should I report to, County or City?
If your loss occurred in unincorporated Fairfax County (including Fairfax Station), report to Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131. If it happened inside the City of Fairfax corporate limits, contact City Police at 703-385-7924. We help you identify the right jurisdiction and route your report accordingly.
Can I report a lost item online with the police?
Yes. Fairfax County Police accept reports through their Community Reporting System at fairfaxcounty.gov/police/report-crime. City of Fairfax Police can also file reports by phone. ReportLost submits reports to both on your behalf and coordinates with other channels simultaneously.
What if I lost something on a bus or at an airport?
Call Fairfax Connector at 703-339-7200 (M-F 5AM-10PM, Sat-Sun 7AM-9PM) for bus losses. For Reagan National or Dulles, contact their dedicated lost & found numbers. We'll notify these agencies when you file with us and keep watch for your item across all their channels.
How do I know if someone found my pet?
File a report immediately with Fairfax County Animal Services at 703-324-0299. Check their lost pet database and post to Northern Virginia Lost & Found Pets on Facebook and local Nextdoor. ReportLost can file a priority lost pet report and distribute across all channels, alerting shelters, vets, and community groups in your area.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official agencies, not on behalf of them. We file reports with Fairfax County Police, Fairfax Connector, Animal Services, and community channels for you, so you don't have to make multiple calls. Your report stays in our active system for 12 months, matching against new found item posts and alerts long after initial police filing. We complement official channels, not replace them.
