How ReportLost Works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details that matter, whether it's a wallet from a local shop, a ring left at a café, or a phone misplaced near Greensburg Pike.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Forest Hills Police, the Borough office, any relevant transit lost and founds, and gets shared with the active local community channels that reunite people with lost items every day.
Your report keeps searching
While you move on with your day, your report stays active. We cross-check new found item posts, local social channels, and community reports for a match, and alert you the moment something credible surfaces, for your entire search period.
Where Lost Items Go in Forest Hills
Here's what happens to items found around the Borough, and how to connect with each channel.
Forest Hills Police Department
Items turned in by residents or found during patrols land here first. The Police Department holds recovered property and can tell you if something matching your description came in. We route your report straight to them and generate the details they'll need.
Forest Hills Borough Office
Found items at public spaces, community events, or Borough facilities sometimes end up with the main office. The Borough can also help direct you to the right department based on where your loss occurred. We let you know exactly which desk to contact.
Public Transit Lost and Found
If you lost something while riding the bus in or through Forest Hills, PRT maintains a lost and found. You can file a report directly with transit, but we'll point you there and make sure your item description reaches them too.
Community Networks
Active Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts in Forest Hills reunite people with found wallets, phones, and other items daily. Your report gets shared with these channels, so local eyes are looking for your item. We handle the posting so you don't have to chase down each group yourself.
Lost Pet Support
If you've lost a dog or cat, Forest Hills has a dedicated Facebook group and connections to animal shelters in the area. These channels specialize in reuniting pets with owners. File a priority lost pet report to reach pet-focused rescues and the community fastest.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Forest Hills can feel scattered. Your item might be turned in to the Police Department on Greensburg Pike, spotted in a community Facebook group, logged with local transit, or posted on Nextdoor by a neighbor who found it. But checking all those places yourself, every day, for weeks? That's exhausting, and most people give up after a few days.
ReportLost shortens that journey. One report does the legwork for you, reaching the Police Department, Borough services, transit channels, and active community networks in one go. Then your report continues working behind the scenes, matching against new found items and posts across local channels. You don't monitor the web yourself. Your report does, keeping a watch for a match while you focus on other things.

Questions About Lost Items in Forest Hills
How long does the Forest Hills Police Department hold found items?
The Police Department typically holds recovered property for a period before it's available for claim. Contact them at 412-351-7330 (Monday 9 AM to 4 PM, Friday 9 AM to 12:30 PM) to ask about your specific item and how long it will be held. Having your report filed with ReportLost ensures they know to look for you.
Where do I pick up a lost item once I find it?
If your item is recovered by police, you'll claim it at the Police Department at 4400 Greensburg Pike. For transit items, contact PRT at 412-442-2000 (weekdays 6 AM to 7 PM). Items found by community members are usually posted on Facebook or Nextdoor, so check those channels daily.
Do I have to report the loss to the police myself?
You can file a police report if the item was stolen or lost in a way that involves foul play. ReportLost connects you with the Police Department and helps organize the reporting across channels, so you don't have to make multiple calls. But for general lost items, community channels and transit lost and founds are often faster.
What if I lost something on a PRT bus?
PRT maintains a lost and found for items left on buses. You can file a report directly with them at https://www.rideprt.org/contact/contact-us2/lost-and-found/. We'll also ensure your report reaches them so they know to search their records for your item.
How does ReportLost help if my item was lost near Pittsburgh International Airport?
If your loss was at or near PIT, we can help coordinate with the airport's lost and found and local police. However, for items lost directly within the airport terminal, you may need to contact PIT directly at flypittsburgh.com. We make sure your report reaches all relevant channels.
Is ReportLost an official service of the Forest Hills Police or Borough?
No, ReportLost is an independent service. We're not affiliated with the Forest Hills Police Department, Borough office, or any government agency. What we do is simplify the process of reporting your loss to the right places and keep your report active as we cross-check new found item posts and community reports. We work alongside official channels, not instead of them.
