The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Filing early means your item is more likely still in the hands of whoever found it, and it gives your report time to match with new posts and alerts. Once your report is filed, the search continues automatically—no need to retrace your steps every day.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Marlow Heights
How long do transit agencies hold lost items?
MTA holds lost items for 30 days. WMATA holds items for a similar period. We immediately report your loss to both agencies so your item is logged before the deadline.
Which police department should I report to?
If your loss occurred in the Marlow Heights Shopping Center area, contact Marlow Heights Police. For other Prince George's County locations, your loss is covered by Prince George's County Police. We determine the right jurisdiction and file accordingly.
What do I need to include in a lost pet report?
A clear description (breed, color, size, any distinctive markings), a photo, your contact number, and the exact location and time you last saw your pet. Prince George's County Animal Services at 301-780-7200 takes these reports. We compile this information and file it with them and local rescue groups.
Can I pick up my item from the airport?
Yes, but you'll need a control number or claim ticket. Airport lost and found offices operate during business hours (typically 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. at BWI, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Reagan National and Dulles). We provide you with the exact office location and phone number to schedule a pickup.
How does ReportLost keep my report active after I file it?
Your report stays in our system for 12 months, depending on your choice. During that time, we automatically cross-reference new found items posted by community members, shops, transit agencies, and shelters against your description. If a credible match appears, we alert you immediately. You don't have to check Facebook groups or call the police every day, we're doing it for you.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We don't replace police or official lost and found agencies, we work alongside them. We file your report with the appropriate local authorities and community channels, then keep your case active for months so it doesn't fall through the cracks. Think of us as your coordinator, making sure the right people know about your loss and that you're notified the moment something matches.
