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.

Getting ahead matters, but you're not alone
The sooner you file, the more time your report has to match with found items and social posts. Once it's in, you can breathe easy—we're checking new announcements, marketplace listings, and community groups for you every day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Collegeville throws you into multiple systems at once: the Police Department on East Main Street, the Borough, local bus services (Red Rose Transit and BARTA both serve the area), and scattered community posts. Each place has its own phone line, forms, and timelines—and they rarely talk to each other. By the time you've called everyone, precious hours have passed, and gaps remain between what each office knows.
ReportLost closes those gaps. Instead of juggling police reports, transit lost-and-found calls, and community Facebook searches yourself, one submission activates them all at once. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after a week. It stays active and keeps matching new posts, found announcements, and listings against your description for months, so you can move forward knowing someone's still looking on your behalf.
