The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Reporting right away means your item is logged while it's still in the system and before it's moved or discarded. Once you file with us, our team takes over the routing and your report stays active in the background, so you can breathe easier knowing the search is underway.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Seaford can feel scattered: your wallet might be with the bus driver on a DART route, your ring at a local shop downtown, your phone logged with the police. Each place has its own lost and found system, and calling them all, posting on different Facebook groups, and checking back repeatedly can take weeks.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report with us, and we route it to the Seaford Police Department, DART First State's transit lost and found, and the community channels where locals post found items. Then your report stays active and keeps searching for you, automatically matching it against new posts and submissions for your entire search period, so you can focus on other things while we work to reunite you with what you've lost.
