Where your lost item might be
Understanding Edwardsville's lost and found ecosystem
Edwardsville Borough Police
The police department holds items turned in by residents and businesses. When you report to ReportLost, we ensure the right precinct knows the specifics of your loss and has your contact details. If you prefer to check directly, their lost and found operates during regular office hours.
Public Transit (SEPTA & Rabbit Transit)
Lost something on a bus in or around Edwardsville? Transit systems hold items for a limited window. We tell you exactly which bus line and service to contact, and we file your report with them so they actively look for your item among their found goods.
Edwardsville Borough Hall
The borough office at 470 Main Street is a hub for community lost and found inquiries. They can point you to the right department and hold items of local significance. ReportLost ensures your report reaches them and stays on their radar.
Lost or Found Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet has gone missing, time is critical. The SPCA of Luzerne County actively reunites lost animals with their families and maintains a dedicated network of local rescuers. ReportLost coordinates a priority response across all channels. To file a comprehensive lost pet report with full emergency alert coverage, file a priority lost pet report.

Getting ahead matters
The sooner you report, the sooner every local channel knows to look. But even if days have passed, your report still works. Once you submit to ReportLost, the active search begins and continues for months, so you can stop worrying and trust the process.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or cherished item in Edwardsville throws you into a frustrating maze. The police have a lost and found. SEPTA and Rabbit Transit each have their own. Community Facebook groups post found items daily. Animal shelters, local stores, and restaurants all hold items separately. By the time you contact everyone, days have passed, and you're still unsure if anyone actually has what you lost.
ReportLost changes that. Submit one report to us, and we connect you to every relevant channel in Edwardsville at once. Your description spreads to the places that matter most. Better yet, your report doesn't expire after a week. It stays active for your entire search period, continuously matching against new finds so you're not frantically refreshing Facebook or making repeat calls. We do the legwork so you can breathe.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Edwardsville Borough Police keep lost items?
Items are typically held for 30 to 90 days, depending on the nature of the item and police department procedures. This is why filing a report immediately with ReportLost matters: your report activates all channels at once, and we keep searching even after the police's holding period ends.
What if I lost something on a SEPTA or Rabbit Transit bus?
Call Rabbit Transit's Lost & Found line at 1-800-632-9063. You'll need details like the date, time, route, and vehicle number if possible. When you report to ReportLost, we generate those specifics for you and file with transit automatically so you're not making cold calls.
Do I have to go in person to the police station to file a report?
Not with ReportLost. You file once with us online, and we submit your report to Edwardsville Borough Police and notify them of your contact information. If they find your item, they'll reach out. You save time and avoid the trip.
How do I know if someone has found my item?
If you use ReportLost, we monitor for matches and alert you immediately when a credible found item is posted that fits your description. You won't have to refresh Facebook groups or call the police repeatedly; we do that work and notify you.
What if my pet is lost?
Contact the SPCA of Luzerne County at 570-825-4111 immediately. They maintain a found pet register and coordinate with local rescuers. For the broadest alert coverage and active monitoring, ReportLost's priority lost pet report reaches rescues, social channels, and shelters all at once.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We're not the police or government, and we don't replace filing a report with them. Instead, we make sure your report reaches all the right local channels at once, so you get coverage faster and your report stays active far longer than any single agency would maintain it on their own.
