Frequently Asked Questions
How long will police hold onto a lost item if someone turns it in?
The Marple Township Police Department typically holds found items for a set period before disposal. Items from businesses and transit are held longer (7 to 14 days depending on the service). That's why filing a report early is important, so your case is on record while staff are still looking. Call 610-356-1500 to ask about a specific item.
What if my item was lost on public transit?
SEPTA buses have a dedicated lost and found line at 215-580-7800, and BARTA (which also serves the area) can be reached at 610-921-0601. Items are typically held for 7 to 14 days. ReportLost will include these contacts in your report and help you follow up if you don't hear back quickly.
Can I file a police report for a lost item, or only for theft?
You can file a report at the Marple Township Police Department (610-356-1500) for lost property, especially if it was high-value or lost in a public place where it may have been turned in. ReportLost will handle the language and routing so your report is taken seriously.
How do I search for a lost pet in Broomall?
Contact the Brandywine Valley SPCA at 484-302-0882 or check local Facebook groups like 'Lost And Found Animals In Delco.' For the fastest response, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost, and we'll notify shelters and community networks immediately.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active for your chosen search period, either 12 months. During that entire time, your report automatically matches against new found items, community posts, and announcements. You won't have to manually check every day, because we'll alert you if something matches your description.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside police, lost and found offices, and community networks. We don't replace the police, but we simplify the process of notifying all the right places and keeping your report active for months. Filing with ReportLost is a practical way to ensure your case doesn't get lost in the shuffle while you handle the official channels yourself if needed.
