Start here, act once
Every hour counts when you've lost something valuable—whether it's a bracelet, phone, or set of keys. A report filed today gets routed to Brookhaven authorities and community channels today. Once it's in motion, your report continues working for you automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Brookhaven means hunting across multiple channels: the police station on Cambridge Road, community Facebook groups, neighborhood networks, and local marketplaces. Each handles their own lost and found separately, which means your lost item might surface in a group you're not part of, at a desk you haven't called yet, or in a post you never see.
ReportLost does the routing work for you. File your report once, and we ensure Brookhaven Police, Borough officials, and local community channels all know what to look for. Best of all, your report doesn't expire on day seven or month one: it stays active and keeps searching for a matching found item throughout your entire recovery window, so you can focus on your day while the system works in your favor.

Questions about losing something in Brookhaven
How long does Brookhaven Police keep lost items?
Brookhaven Police typically hold found property for a reasonable period before disposal. We recommend filing a report as soon as you realize something is missing so the department can flag your item if it comes in. Check with (610) 876-6142 for specifics on retention timelines.
What happens if I lose something at a SEPTA bus stop?
Contact SEPTA Lost & Found at 215-580-7800 within a few days. Items are held for a set period. Our report ensures SEPTA knows to look for your item across their network, not just one station.
Can I search multiple Brookhaven lost and found locations myself?
Yes, you can call each location individually (Police, Borough Hall, transit hubs). But it's time-consuming and you might miss community posts. Our service does that routing for you and keeps your report active while you handle other things.
How do I recover my lost pet in Brookhaven?
Check with Brookhaven Police, call local shelters, and post on Pawboost and Facebook immediately. Community members often find pets and report sightings to police. Our lost pet report accelerates this process and alerts local rescue networks right away.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active for 12 months depending on your selection at signup. Throughout that time, we continue matching it against new found items, community posts, and local announcements, so you don't have to manually check every day.
Is ReportLost.org an official Brookhaven or police service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that connects you with official channels: Brookhaven Police, Borough offices, transit authorities, and community networks. We're not a government agency, but we do the work of routing your report to the right people and keeping it visible while the official systems and community do their part.
