Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Dunmore Police hold lost items?
The Dunmore Borough Police Department holds items for a period before they are donated or disposed of. It's important to file a report as soon as you notice something is missing so the police can set it aside if they receive it. Check with the department at (570) 343-0851 to confirm the exact holding period and ask them to search their found items inventory.
What if I lost something on a COLTS bus?
Contact COLTS bus lost and found as soon as possible. Have the bus route number, approximate time, and a description of your item ready. Items are typically held for a limited time. If you use ReportLost, we help you prepare the right information to give COLTS so your search is efficient.
Should I post about my lost item on social media myself?
Yes, community posts are effective, especially on the "Lost and Found Pets in Dunmore, PA" Facebook group and Nextdoor. ReportLost does this for you automatically, so you don't have to manage multiple posts. Just make sure you include a clear description, location, and contact info.
What if I lost something at the airport?
Call Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport's lost and found office at (570) 602-2023 during business hours. If you lost an item at a TSA checkpoint, you can also file a report with TSA directly. If you flew through AVP, provide your flight details and seat information to help them locate your item.

Your report stays active for 12 months depending on which option you choose. During that time, we continuously check community posts, found item listings, and local announcements for matches. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match is found, so you don't have to check manually every day.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that helps you report to the right official channels faster and keeps your report active longer. We do not replace calling Dunmore Police or other authorities directly. Instead, we ensure your report reaches them along with community channels, and then we keep searching for you automatically. If you prefer to report only to police, you can do that, but ReportLost adds a layer of ongoing matching and community outreach that most people don't manage on their own.
