Where to Report Lost Items in Parkersburg
Official channels and what ReportLost does on your behalf
Parkersburg Police Department
The Parkersburg Police Department maintains a lost and found and can file a report for items lost in the city. Visit their administration office Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or call to ask where your item may be held. We identify the right precinct and contact information for your loss location so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
City of Parkersburg
City Hall can direct you to the appropriate department or lost & found facility depending on where your item was lost. They can also advise on property recovery procedures. We pre-populate the exact details and departments to contact so your request reaches the right desk immediately.
Easy Rider Bus (Mid-Ohio Valley Transit)
If you lost something on an Easy Rider bus, contact their office to check the lost and found or file a report. They hold items and can arrange return. We make sure your report reaches transit with the exact bus route and time so the search is faster.
Parkersburg Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport
If you left something at the airport, contact the airport authority or the TSA lost and found directly. Items found at security checkpoints and in terminals are held there. We ensure your report includes the exact terminal, checkpoint, or flight information needed to locate your item quickly.
Lost or Found a Pet
Contact the Parkersburg Humane Society immediately if you've lost or found a pet in the Parkersburg area. The shelter holds strays for five days and can help reunite you with your animal. Community members also report lost and found pets on local Facebook groups. We can help you file a priority lost pet report that reaches shelters and pet networks across the region.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Parkersburg can feel scattershot, your lost item report ending up in one place while potential matches appear scattered across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local classifieds, and community sites you'd have to monitor obsessively.

ReportLost simplifies this.

You can breathe easy knowing someone is actively hunting for your item while you go about your day.
