This is not an a normal issue. Lost+Found is create by mke2fs, but
journalises filesystems do not this directory because it is only use to write
fragments of files after crash.
On ext3, if you mount it as ext2 and there are error, e2fsck can recreate it
itself. I think reiserfs check tools can also recreate it but it is checked
differently automatically at mount (as ext3 in normal way).
There no problem if you delete it, no problem if you have it. Also, note
there no other tools for recreate it, and note this directory can contain
more files than normal directory.
Enjoy.
