How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details once, so you don't have to repeat yourself to a dozen different places.
We route it to the right places
We contact the Strasburg Police Department, notify Town Hall, alert the local animal shelter if applicable, and post to community groups where locals actively look for and report found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically checks for matches against new found item reports, community posts, and local listings. You'll get an alert if a credible match appears, so you can focus on your day while we work in the background.
Where to report in Strasburg
Your loss may end up at any of these places. ReportLost alerts all of them at once.
Strasburg Police Department
The police non-emergency line is where many lost items are reported and held. We tell you exactly which desk handles lost property and what details to have ready when you call.
Town Hall
Found items are sometimes brought to Town Hall. We ensure your report reaches the right department so staff can flag your loss if an item matching your description comes through.
Lost & Found Animals
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the Shenandoah County Animal Shelter is your first stop. They hold found animals for a standard period and post alerts on local social media. We make sure your pet's details reach them immediately and stay in their system. File a priority lost pet report to also activate our dedicated pet search network.
Local Transit
If you lost an item on a Blacksburg Transit bus serving the Strasburg area, contact their lost and found department. We generate the exact information you'll need to provide for a quick match.

Acting fast makes a difference
The sooner your loss is reported to every channel at once, the sooner community members and local staff can help you search. Once your report is filed, our team handles the routing and you'll receive notifications if a match shows up over the coming months.
Report my lost item →Strasburg is a tight-knit community, but losing a wallet, ring, or beloved pet here can feel isolating. Between the Police Department, Town Hall, the animal shelter, and scattered Facebook groups, reporting a loss means making calls and posts to separate organizations, each with their own process and timeline. By the time you've finished, crucial hours may have passed.
ReportLost brings all those channels together. Submit your loss once, we notify every relevant office and community space in Strasburg, and your report stays active and working for months. Unlike calling around each day yourself, your signaling continues to match against new found items and posts automatically. Once you've filed, you can breathe, knowing the system is helping you search.
