How ReportLost works
You file your report
Describe what you lost (ring, wallet, phone, or anything else), where, and when. We collect the details that matter.
We notify the right local channels
Your report goes to the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office, Town of Montross, and relevant lost and found networks. You don't have to contact them individually.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report automatically matches against new found items, community posts, and local announcements. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back every day.
Where to report a lost item in Montross
These channels handle found items in town. We notify them on your behalf.
Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office
The main law enforcement agency for Montross. Lost items are logged here, and staff can tell you if someone has turned in what you're looking for. We generate the right details for your report so it reaches the right desk.
Town of Montross
Town Hall can advise on lost items found in public spaces or town-managed buildings. Reporting through the Town connects your loss to local civic records and community awareness. We point you to the right contact.
Lost pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in the Montross area, check with local animal shelters and community pet networks. Post quickly to maximize visibility. For a priority response and ongoing search coordination, file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you file, the better your odds
The moment you know something's lost, reporting it gets your case in front of law enforcement and community members right away. Once your report is filed, the search works in the background for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Montross means contacting the Sheriff's Office, checking community groups, and calling around local businesses all on your own. By the time you've made a few calls, precious hours have passed, and if the item isn't found quickly, it disappears from people's minds.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we route your lost report to law enforcement, Town Hall, and active local networks. Then, your report keeps searching automatically for months, cross-referencing new found posts and reports, so the burden shifts off your shoulders. You can focus on your day while the system works for you.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Sheriff's Office keep lost items?
Items turned in to the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office are typically held for a set period. We recommend contacting them at (804) 493-8066 to confirm the holding window for your specific item. Your report ensures they know what you're looking for and can flag it if it comes in.
Can I file a report over the phone instead of online?
You can contact the Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office directly at (804) 493-8066 or email info@westcoso.us to report your loss. ReportLost coordinates this for you and keeps your report active across multiple channels simultaneously, so you have coverage even if one channel is temporarily unavailable.
What if I lost my wallet or purse? Where do I check?
Start by contacting the Sheriff's Office and any specific location where you think you lost it (shop, restaurant, park). Once you file with ReportLost, we route your report to law enforcement and local networks, and your report stays active so any new found items are matched against your description automatically.
How do I know if my lost item has been found?
If your item is found and reported locally, your active ReportLost report will generate an alert as soon as a credible match appears. You'll be notified directly, and the system keeps searching for 12 months depending on your report level, so you don't have to manually check every day.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside local law enforcement and community networks, not in place of them. We connect your report to the right official channels (Sheriff's Office, Town Hall, local groups) and maintain an active search on your behalf. Filing with us complements calling the police, not replaces it.
