How it works
You report what you lost
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include as much detail as you can. We ask the right questions to make sure every detail gets to the right people.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the St. Albans Police Department, City Hall, local lost and found offices, and gets posted to community channels where locals are already looking.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items, community posts, and local marketplace listings. You don't have to check Facebook groups yourself every day. We alert you if a credible match appears.
Where things get lost and who to contact
St. Albans has several channels for lost items. Here's what each handles and where ReportLost can help.
St. Albans Police Department
The Police Department keeps a record of items turned in by residents and businesses around town. If your wallet, phone, or bracelet ended up with a local business or got turned in by a good Samaritan, this is often where it lands. We tell you exactly which precinct handles your location and generate the details they need to start a search. You can also reach them directly.
City Hall and municipal services
St. Albans City Hall handles lost items reported in municipal buildings and public spaces. If you lost something downtown or at a city facility, filing a report here opens another channel. We point you to the right desk and make sure your information gets to the person who actually takes lost and found calls.
Yeager Airport (Charleston)
If you lost your phone, purse, or ring at the airport or on your way through security, Yeager's Lost and Found team handles it. They keep items for a set period. We ensure your description gets to them quickly and accurately.
Lost pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, time matters. St. Albans and the surrounding Kanawha County area have dedicated pet rescue groups and shelters. We connect you with the right resources and keep your pet's description circulating in local networks for the entire search period. file a priority lost pet report

The faster you report, the better your chances
The first few hours and days after a loss are critical. Your neighbors on social media are active, local businesses are checking, and people are paying attention. Once your report is filed with us, you've got the whole town looking, and our system keeps that search running in the background for months. The peace of mind starts right here.
Report my lost item →Losing something in St. Albans means figuring out which office to contact, calling multiple phone numbers during business hours, and then checking the same Facebook groups and community boards yourself for weeks. Between the Police Department, City Hall, Yeager Airport if you were traveling, and scattered local groups, the whole system feels fragmented. ReportLost cuts through that. File one report with us, and we make sure the St. Albans Police Department, City Hall, the airport, and the right community channels all know what you're looking for.
The real advantage: once you file, your report doesn't sit idle. It stays active for your full search period (12 months), automatically cross-checking new found items and posts against your description. You can stop visiting the same websites and groups every morning. Your report is doing the legwork for you. If someone finds your wallet, ring, or phone and posts it online, or if a business reports it to us, you get alerted right away with the details.
