Where to report a lost item in York
These are the main places where items turn up. ReportLost coordinates across all of them.
York Police Department
The first place to file an official report for lost or stolen items. They maintain records that other services check when someone turns something in. Their public assistance counter is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ReportLost generates the details you'll need and makes sure your case gets logged properly.
York County Sheriff's Office
If your loss happened outside the city limits or involves county jurisdiction, the Sheriff's Department is where reports get filed. We identify whether your situation falls under their purview and include them in the distribution. Located on the first floor of the Lincoln Avenue offices, open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost or found a dog, cat, or other pet in York, York Adopt-A-Pet and the Missing and Found Pets in York, NE Area Facebook community are the two most active recovery channels. Pets turn up there quickly, especially if someone has already brought them in. We make sure your pet description reaches both the shelter network and the right social channels. File a priority lost pet report to get full pet-specific routing and ongoing search alerts.
York Municipal Airport
Lost something at the airport or on a flight? York's municipal airport maintains a lost and found office. Call the airport directly during business hours to check availability, and we'll ensure your report includes the right contact point and follow-up timing.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Getting ahead starts with reporting
The sooner your loss is in the system, the better. Once you file your report, the heavy lifting is done. We route it, you get alerts, and your search runs on its own.
Report my lost item →Losing something in York can feel scattered, especially when different places keep their findings in separate systems. The police have one database, local animal rescues have another, and community Facebook groups operate on their own. By the time you've contacted everyone, days or weeks may have passed.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report here, and we make sure the York Police Department, York County Sheriff's Office, York Adopt-A-Pet, and local community networks all get the word. Better yet, your report doesn't disappear after a few days. It stays active, continuing to search for matches and alert you if your item surfaces, for months to come.

Frequently asked questions about lost and found in York
How long does York Police keep lost items?
Contact the York Police Department at (402) 363-2640 or visit in person during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). They can tell you how long a specific item is held before it enters disposal or donation. This is why reporting early matters: your description gets recorded before items are processed.
What if I lost a pet in York?
Call York Adopt-A-Pet immediately and post on the Missing and Found Pets in York, NE Area Facebook group. Most lost dogs and cats in York are found by neighbors or brought to the shelter within the first week. ReportLost can amplify your pet's description across all these channels at once. Consider filing a priority lost pet report for faster routing and ongoing alerts.
What if I lost my wallet or keys at a local business?
Start by calling the business directly. If they don't have it, file a report with York Police so your description is on record. Businesses often donate unclaimed items after 30 to 90 days, so time matters. ReportLost ensures the police and community channels know what to look for before that window closes.
Can I report something lost at York Airport?
Yes. Contact the York Municipal Airport office at (402) 363-2600 to check if your item is there, then file a report with ReportLost or York Police. This creates a searchable record that reaches multiple places at once, increasing the chance of a match if the item shows up elsewhere.
What does ReportLost do that I can't do myself?
ReportLost coordinates across York Police, the Sheriff's Office, York Adopt-A-Pet, and community social channels in a single workflow. Instead of you calling each place, filling out separate forms, and manually checking Facebook groups every day, we file once and keep your report active for 12 months, alerting you to matches automatically. You get time back, and your search doesn't fade after a few days.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We are not part of the York Police Department or any government agency. We don't replace official police reports, we complement them. We coordinate reporting across official channels and community networks, and we keep your search active longer than any single service does alone. For theft or criminal incidents, you still need to file an official police report. For lost items, we amplify your reach and persistence.
