Report my lost item →Losing something in Wilmington Manor means contacting the police, checking the transit lost & found, scanning neighborhood social groups, and hoping the right person saw your post. Each service operates separately, and each one requires a fresh report and follow-up. When time matters, juggling all these channels is exhausting.
ReportLost takes the coordination out of your hands. File once, and we route your report to Wilmington Police, DART First State transit services, animal control if needed, and active local community channels. Your report stays active for months, continuing to cross-reference new found items against your description, so you're not checking Facebook groups and Reddit threads every day. You report it once, and we keep searching for you.
