Report my lost item →Losing something in Franklin Park feels like it's gone for good, especially when you're trying to figure out which agency to contact, what to post where, and whether anyone's even looking. The police, borough services, and local social channels don't always talk to each other, which means your lost wallet, ring, or phone can slip through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. You file one report with us, we alert the Franklin Park Police Department and the channels where lost items actually surface, and here's the key difference: your report stays active for months. Instead of you refreshing posts every day, our system keeps matching your description against new found items as they're reported, and alerts you the moment something credible comes up.

Questions About Lost Items in Franklin Park
How long does the Franklin Park Police Department hold found items?
The Police Department typically holds items for a minimum period before releasing unclaimed property. Call 412-364-1227 to ask about your specific item and how long you have to claim it. We can help you make that call with the right details.
What do I need to prove ownership when I claim something?
You'll usually need to describe the item accurately, provide proof of purchase if you have it, or show ID matching any information on the item (like your name on a wallet). Check with the Police Department on 412-364-1227 when you file your report.
If I lost something on the bus, how do I file a claim?
Contact the Port Authority Transit lost and found office at 412-442-2000 (weekdays 6 AM to 7 PM, weekends and holidays 8 AM to 4:30 PM). Describe what you lost, when, and which route. We help you include all the details that matter.
How quickly do lost items surface on local social media and resale sites?
Items often appear within hours on Facebook groups, Nextdoor, or marketplaces. That's why your report staying active for months is so valuable, it keeps matching new posts against your description automatically.
Can I file a lost item report with ReportLost and let it run for months without checking back?
Yes, that's the whole idea. Once your report is filed, it stays active for your entire search period (12 months depending on your choice). We monitor new found item posts and alerts across local channels and notify you immediately if something matches your description. You don't have to refresh anything yourself.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace filing with the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of any government agency. We don't replace the Police Department, we complement it. Your report goes to the Franklin Park Police and other local lost and found services, and we add a layer of ongoing search and community alert that those agencies typically don't provide. Think of us as the shortcut that does the legwork for you.
