Lost and found resources in Allentown
Here's where items typically end up, and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Allentown Police Department
The Property & Evidence Unit holds found items and processes lost property reports. Items are kept for a set period before disposal. We determine the right precinct for your location and provide the exact details they need.
LANTA Transit (Public Bus)
Forgot something on a LANTA bus? The Allentown office holds items for a standard window. We contact them with your description and route details so they can check their lost and found immediately.
Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE)
Items lost in the terminal, at security, or during baggage handling go to the Airport Lost & Found office at 3311 Airport Road. They hold belongings for 30 days. We submit your report to the airport authority and include TSA if the loss occurred at a checkpoint.
City Hall & Municipal Services
Items found in public parks, on streets, or in city buildings may be reported to or held by the City of Allentown. We point you to the right department and follow up on behalf.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Once your report goes in, you've alerted all the relevant places in Allentown and triggered our automated web search. You don't have to follow up yourself every single day. We do that part.
Report my lost item →Losing an item in Allentown means contacting the Police Department, checking LANTA buses, reaching out to the airport if it was lost during travel, posting in community groups, and then refreshing those same channels every few days. It's fragmented and exhausting. ReportLost consolidates that entire process: one form, one submission, and continuous automated monitoring on your behalf.
The Lehigh Valley police, transit authority, and local social networks are good at holding and sharing found items, but they're separate systems. Once your report is filed, you can relax. Our team and automated web surveillance work behind the scenes, hunting through posts, lost and found boards, and community channels around the clock so you don't have to.

Questions about lost and found in Allentown
How long does the Allentown Police Department hold found items?
The Property & Evidence Unit typically holds items for 90 days. Items unclaimed after that period may be disposed of or donated. It's important to file a report and follow up within this window.
What if I lost something on a LANTA bus?
Call LANTA Customer Service at 888-253-8333 (Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5:30 PM). Items are usually kept for a set retention period. Have your route number and bus stop details ready. ReportLost submits this information for you.
I lost an item at Lehigh Valley International Airport. Where do I go?
The Airport Lost & Found office is at 3311 Airport Road, Allentown, PA 18109. You can call 610-231-5188 or visit in person (9 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday). If you lost something at a TSA checkpoint, also contact TSA separately.
How does ReportLost monitor for my lost item?
After you file a report, our system continuously scans public Facebook groups (like Lehigh Valley Lost & Found), community Nextdoor posts, local marketplaces, classified ads, and Reddit. When a description, location, or date matches your loss credibly, we send you an alert so you can follow up.
Can I search Facebook groups and Nextdoor myself instead of using ReportLost?
Of course. But it's time-consuming to check the same groups daily for weeks. ReportLost automates that work so you don't have to refresh pages or miss a match while you sleep or work. You're also getting your report to official agencies at the same time.
Is ReportLost.org an official city or police service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that partners with and routes information to official agencies like the Allentown Police Department, LANTA, and the airport authority. We're not part of the city government, but we work on your behalf to make sure the right people hear about your loss and to watch the web for matches while you go about your day.
