The sooner you report, the better your chances
The first hours after losing something matter. Getting your report in front of the Newark Police, DART First State, and local community channels quickly increases the odds someone will spot your item or pet. Once you've filed through us, you can focus on your day knowing the system is working to match your report against new found posts.
Report my lost item →Losing something in North Star can mean a dozen different places to call: the Newark Police Department, New Castle County services, DART First State if it was on a bus, the establishments where you were, and various community groups scattered across Facebook and Nextdoor. Each has its own hours, process, and lost & found procedures, and they don't always talk to each other.
ReportLost simplifies that burden. You file once through us, and we route your report to every relevant agency and community channel in the North Star area. Better yet, your report stays active continuously, matching against new found items and community posts across social channels and local marketplaces, so you can stop searching and let the system work for you.
