What do I do if I lost something at the South Run Recreation Center?
Call the center directly at 703-866-0566 to check if your item has been turned in. We can also file a police report with Fairfax County so your loss is logged and other recovery channels are alerted.

How long does a police report for a lost item stay active?

Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with Fairfax County Police, the Fairfax Connector, or other agencies. We don't replace official channels, we amplify them. We file your report with the authorities and social networks so you don't have to contact each one separately, and we keep searching for longer than they typically do.
