Where to report in Boalsburg
Local offices and channels, plus how ReportLost simplifies the process
Harris Township / Local Police
Boalsburg is unincorporated within Harris Township, Centre County. The Township office handles lost items reported to the community, and can direct you to the right department. ReportLost lets us know which office covers your loss location and generates the exact details to include so your report is complete the first time.
Penn State Police Lost & Found
If you lost an item on or near the Penn State campus, their dedicated Lost and Found office is your first stop. Items are catalogued and held for a set period. ReportLost ensures your details reach them and stay in their system while we also alert other channels.
Lost pet? Priority help for your animal
Boalsburg residents rely on local animal rescues, Facebook pet recovery groups, and county shelters to reunite with missing cats and dogs. Time matters with pets. Beyond posting yourself, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to activate targeted alerts across rescue networks and community channels.
Regional transit and airport
If you lost your item on a regional bus or at Pittsburgh International Airport (about 90 minutes away), each has its own lost and found office with strict holding periods. ReportLost can point you to the exact line and office, or you can contact them directly.

The sooner you report, the sooner we get to work
Filing right away improves your chances. Once your report is in, you can relax. The team gets moving, alerts go out, and your description stays in active circulation. No daily monitoring needed on your end.
Report my lost item →Boalsburg's charming downtown and proximity to Penn State mean items slip through the cracks every day. A wallet lost near the Heritage Museum, a pet that wandered off near Route 45, a ring left behind at a local business, a phone misplaced during a visit to campus or town, a laptop forgotten in a rental car heading to the airport, a backpack left on a regional bus. Right now, you'd have to contact Harris Township, Penn State Police separately, call animal shelters in multiple counties, post to Facebook groups yourself, check PawBoost and Nextdoor daily, and hope someone finds your item before it disappears. That's fragmented and exhausting.
ReportLost centralizes your search. One clear report, one submission, and we route it to the right local authorities, Penn State's lost and found system, animal rescue organizations, and community networks. Then your report keeps working for you. Instead of refreshing Facebook groups and marketplace sites every morning, your description stays active and continues to match against new found items and community posts for months. You focus on your day. We keep searching.
