How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to get your report to the right places.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Weirton Police Department, relevant shelters if it's a pet, and gets shared with local lost-and-found groups so the community can help.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report matches against new found items posted across local channels. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing Facebook or calling shelters yourself.
