How ReportLost works in Harrisburg
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, transit, and the airport.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Harrisburg Police, Rabbit Transit, Red Rose Transit, Harrisburg International Airport, and other relevant local channels. You don't have to call each one separately.
Automated monitoring finds matches
Our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local marketplaces, and web listings every few days for months. When a match appears, we alert you right away, so you can stop checking yourself.
Where items turn up in Harrisburg
From downtown to the airport, here's what each service does (and how ReportLost cuts your work in half)
Harrisburg Police Bureau
The Police Bureau is the main point for lost items reported in the city. Call their non-emergency desk or visit their office. We identify which bureau section covers your location and generate a report ready to submit.
Rabbit Transit Lost & Found
Left something on a Rabbit bus? Their customer service team holds items for a standard period and can tell you if yours turned up. We alert them with all the details so they know what to watch for.
Red Rose Transit Lost & Found
If you lost an item on a Red Rose Transit bus, their team keeps items on file for a week. We contact them directly with your information so the right staff member can flag your item.
Harrisburg International Airport Lost & Found
The airport's lost and found can be reached directly, or you can browse their online listings. We ensure the airport has your details and include them in our ongoing web searches for posted items.
City of Harrisburg Services
The City Government Center handles general inquiries and can direct you to the right department. We know the phone tree and connect you with the right office.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a pet in the Harrisburg area, the Humane Society partners with Petco Love Lost and maintains a database of lost and found animals. Your pet deserves priority action and specialized search channels. File a priority lost pet report to activate our pet recovery network.

Ready to search smarter
The sooner you report, the sooner our monitoring kicks in. Fill out your details now, and the Harrisburg Police, transit services, and our team will take it from there.
Report my lost item →Harrisburg keeps moving, and when you lose something in the city center, along a transit route, or at the airport, tracking it down means juggling calls to the police desk, transit customer service, and multiple online groups. That's inefficient and exhausting. ReportLost collapses that effort into one simple report.
Once you file with us, our team takes the legwork off your plate. We notify the right departments, and we run continuous automated searches across every public channel where a found item might surface, from Facebook groups to local classifieds. You go about your day; we keep watching until we find your item or run out of leads.
