How ReportLost Works in Gettysburg
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to alert the right channels, so you don't have to hunt down contact info for the police, city offices, animal shelter, or transit authority.
We Route It Everywhere That Matters
Your report goes directly to the Gettysburg Police Department, Borough Office, Adams County SPCA (if it's a pet), Rabbit Transit if you lost it on a bus, and local community groups. No double work, no wondering who to call next.
Your Report Keeps Searching for You
For 12 months, your report automatically matches against new found items, community posts, and local listings. You get an alert as soon as a credible match appears, so you're never manually refreshing Facebook or checking the same sites over and over.
Where Your Lost Item Might Be
and how to get it back
Gettysburg Police Department
The police keep lost and found records and can tell you whether an item matching your description has been turned in. They're open 8 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays. We generate the exact details you need to include when you file your report, and we make sure this precinct knows to look for your item.
Gettysburg Borough Office
The Borough handles lost and found for items turned in at public buildings and municipal areas around town. Our report ensures they're notified of what you're looking for and how to reach you if it arrives.
Rabbit Transit Lost and Found
If you left your item on a Rabbit Transit bus in or around Gettysburg, call their customer service or file a report with them directly. Rabbit holds items for a set period, and we make sure you know exactly what to tell them so they can track your loss.
Gettysburg Regional Airport
Gettysburg Regional Airport accepts lost and found reports for items left at the facility. If you flew in or out and think your item is there, this is the first place to check.
Lost or Found Pet?
If your cat, dog, or other pet went missing in Gettysburg, the Adams County SPCA is your front-line resource. Call them immediately, post to local pet networks, and file a priority lost pet report to activate urgent, focused help.

The Faster You Report, the Better Your Chances
Every hour counts when something goes missing. The sooner your item is entered into the local system and community networks, the sooner someone who finds it can connect it back to you. File your report now, and our team will take it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet in Gettysburg means contacting the police, the borough, the animal shelter, local Facebook groups, and maybe Rabbit Transit if you rode the bus, all separately. Each office keeps records in a silo, and there's no single place tracking whether your item shows up. That scattered approach wastes days and leaves gaps.
ReportLost bridges those gaps with one submission. We notify all the right local authorities and community channels at once, and your report doesn't go dormant after a week, it stays active, automatically cross-checking new found posts and marketplace listings against your description for months. Once you've filed, you can breathe, knowing the search is working for you.
