The police non-emergency line accepts lost and found reports during business hours and around the clock. Call (302) 934-8174 to file a report, or visit their office at 120 W.

Millsboro Town Hall
Town Hall maintains community records and can sometimes help direct lost items or provide additional resources. You can reach them at (302) 934-8171 or visit 322 Wilson Highway. ReportLost often coordinates directly with town services to ensure your lost report is flagged in the right systems.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Filing your report early gives the Millsboro Police Department and local channels more time to spot and hold your item. Once your report is filed, you can breathe. Our team takes it from there, and your report keeps working on your behalf for months.
Report my lost item →Losing your wallet, keys, phone, or beloved pet in Millsboro can feel isolating, especially when you're not sure which office to contact first. The Millsboro Police Department handles general lost and found reports, DART Transit covers bus-related losses, and if you've lost a dog or cat, the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare and local shelters each maintain separate registries. Navigating these systems takes time you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies that process. Tell us what you lost and where, and we immediately notify the police department, route your report to transit if needed, and post an alert to the community groups where locals actively share found items. More importantly, your report doesn't sit idle after day one. It stays active and keeps searching for a match, so you can stop checking multiple channels yourself and focus on hope.
