Pennsylvania : there is no single statewide holding period. Each department, transit agency and venue defines its own retention and claim procedure, often a few months, never guaranteed.

Report to these places yourself, or let ReportLost do it for you

Local shops and public spaces
Lost your wallet at a diner, your ring at the library, or your keys near Carnegie Park? We contact key local businesses and community centers on your behalf, so they know what to look for and hold onto it if it comes in.

The sooner you report, the better
Items get picked up, moved, or donated quickly. Once you file your report, we take over the legwork of checking with police, transit, and local channels, plus we keep your report actively searching for months. That means you can stop worrying and let the system work for you.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or keys in Carnegie means juggling calls to the police department, local businesses, transit, and scrolling through social media every morning hoping someone posts what you lost. Each office works independently, so reporting the same item five different ways takes time and you're never sure if everyone's really looking.
ReportLost simplifies that. You file once. We route your report to Carnegie Police, South Hills Cooperative Animal Control if it's a pet, Pittsburgh Regional Transit if you left something on the bus, and local found-item channels. Then your report stays active and keeps searching for you, automatically cross-checking new found items and community posts for a match. You can focus on your day while we keep the search going.
