The sooner you report, the sooner we can help
Fresh reports get faster matches. Once you've submitted your details, the Newark Police Department and local channels are notified, and your report enters our active search. You can relax knowing the search is underway.
Report my lost item →In Glasgow and the greater Newark area, losing a wallet, purse, bracelet, or phone means contacting multiple offices separately: the police department, city services, local shops and transit systems, even social media groups. Each place operates independently, and without a central report, items slip through the cracks or sit unclaimed because no one makes the connection.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report reaches all the channels that matter and stays active the entire time you're searching. You don't monitor Facebook groups or call around daily; your report does the work for you, matching against new found items and announcements automatically until your search period closes.

Frequently asked questions
How long will my report stay active?
Your report remains active for either 12 months, depending on the option you choose when filing. Throughout that entire period, your item description continues to be matched against new found items and community posts automatically.
Do I have to file a police report to use ReportLost?
No. ReportLost works independently and can file a report on your behalf with the Newark Police Department if you wish, or you can file directly yourself. Our service coordinates with them to ensure your details reach the right channels.
What happens if someone finds my item and posts it on Facebook?
Our system monitors community groups and posts related to your item description. When a credible match surfaces, we send you an alert immediately so you can contact the finder or the platform where it was posted.
Does the Newark Police Department keep lost items forever?
Police departments typically hold unclaimed items for 30 to 90 days before disposal, depending on category. This is why filing early and having your report active across multiple channels matters. We ensure yours stays visible and searchable beyond that window.
Can I report a lost pet with ReportLost?
Yes. Lost pets are our priority. We route your report to the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare (302-998-2281) and local rescue networks immediately. For pets, we also offer a dedicated priority pet report service to maximize visibility and response speed.
