Report my lost item →Losing something in Glenolden means reaching out to the police, checking various borough offices, calling transit services if it was on a bus, and scrolling through Facebook groups and community posts hoping someone found it. Each office keeps lost items for only a week or two, and if you miss that window, the trail goes cold. It's exhausting, and by the time you think to check everywhere, your wallet, ring, or beloved pet could already be gone.
ReportLost removes that burden. One report goes out to all the right channels at once, and stays alive in the background for months. We make sure the Glenolden Police Department knows what to look for, we alert the local community, and we keep matching your description against new found posts so you don't have to do it yourself.
