Where Lost Items Turn Up in Warrenton
We report to the right place so you can focus on other things.
Warrenton Police Department
The Warrenton Police Department handles lost property reports for items found within town limits. We file your report with them and make sure the details are logged so found items can be matched to your loss.
Fauquier County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office oversees lost and found for the broader county. If your item was lost outside town limits or in a county area, we ensure it's reported to the right sheriff's desk and tracked in their system.
Warrenton Town Hall
Town Hall at 21 Main Street can direct lost items to the right department and help coordinate between city services. We make sure your report reaches the right desk so nothing slips through the cracks.
Local Transit Lost & Found
If you lost your item on a bus or at a transit hub, we file with the right transit provider and help you navigate their lost and found process. We generate the exact info they need to search their logs.
Lost Pet?
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, Fauquier SPCA and local animal control are your first stops. We coordinate with these networks and community pet groups so your pet's description reaches rescue volunteers and shelters across the county. File a priority lost pet report to activate wider search networks.

Report my lost item →Warrenton's Main Street, local shops, restaurants, and parks are great places to spend time, but they're also easy places to lose a wallet, ring, or phone.
