How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details that matter most to local officers and community channels.
We notify the right places
Your report goes directly to Lower Merion Police, relevant campus or transit services, and active local community groups. No back-and-forth calls from you.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items, social posts, and local listings. You get an alert if a credible match appears, so your search never goes quiet.
Where to Report & What ReportLost Does
These are the official channels. ReportLost handles the coordination for you.
Lower Merion Police Department
The primary reporting authority for losses across Bryn Mawr and the township. You can file a report in person or by phone. ReportLost tells you the right precinct and generates a summary of the key details to include.
Lower Merion Township Government
The township's administrative offices can direct you to community resources and maintain records of lost and found notices. We ensure your report reaches the right department.
Bryn Mawr College Campus Safety
If your loss occurred on campus, the college's Campus Safety office handles found items and access to college networks. ReportLost ensures your report reaches them with all relevant context.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, alert SPCA Montgomery County and the active Lower Merion Township lost pet community right away. ReportLost connects you to both channels and keeps your pet's details in active circulation. File a priority lost pet report for faster routing to rescuers and shelters.
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
Traveling through or arriving at PHL? The airport's Lost and Found is centralized and monitors items across terminals. ReportLost helps you document what you left behind so the airport team can locate it quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my report stay active?
Your report remains in active circulation for up to 12 months, continuously cross-checking against new found postings and community listings. This gives you the best chance of a match long after the initial loss.
What if I lost something on campus at Bryn Mawr College?
Notify Campus Safety immediately at 610-526-7911 (weekdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). ReportLost will coordinate your report so it reaches both Campus Safety and the broader Lower Merion community networks.
How quickly should I file a report?
The sooner the better. File within hours of your loss if possible. Early reporting increases the likelihood that an item hasn't been discarded, and gets your information into the system while it's fresh. ReportLost then keeps searching for you continuously.
If I lost something at Philadelphia International Airport, who should I contact?
Call PHL's Lost and Found at 215-937-6888 right away; hours are 8 a.m. to midnight. If your item is on a plane, contact your airline directly. ReportLost can help you document details to speed up the recovery.
Can ReportLost help if I lost a pet?
Absolutely. We have a dedicated lost pet report flow that immediately notifies SPCA Montgomery County and local rescue networks. Visit our <a href="/report-lost-pet"><strong>lost pet page</strong></a> for priority routing to animal shelters and community rescuers.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with law enforcement. We coordinate reporting on your behalf and keep your case active in multiple channels. Filing with us complements, but does not replace, making an official police report if needed for insurance or legal purposes. For items lost on campus or at major transit points, both official reports and ReportLost together give you the widest reach.
