How ReportLost works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, when, and where in Hershey. We generate all the details you need for official channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Derry Township Police, relevant lost & found offices (Hersheypark, local transit, airport if applicable), and we amplify it across community groups and social channels.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, we monitor new posts and found items databases, matching them against your description. You get an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check every day.
Where things get lost in Hershey, and where to report
Each place handles found items differently. ReportLost contacts them all at once.
Derry Township Police Department
The police department serving Hershey is available 24/7. If you lose an item in a public area, on the street, or suspect theft, the police can file a report and check recovered property. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and help you include all the right details.
Hersheypark Lost & Found
If you left something at Hersheypark or in Chocolate World, the park's guest services team maintains a central lost and found desk. We point you to their exact location and help you describe your item so they can search their records.
Rabbit Transit Lost & Found
Lost an item on a Rabbit Transit bus in Hershey or the surrounding area? Rabbit maintains a central lost and found and can check whether your item was turned in. We generate the exact information to include in your inquiry.
Harrisburg International Airport Lost & Found
If you lost an item at Harrisburg International Airport (HIA), about 20 minutes from Hershey, the airport's lost and found department is your first stop. We ensure your report reaches them directly.
Lost pet
If your dog or cat is missing in Hershey, time matters. Contact local animal control, check shelters in the area, and post to community groups. ReportLost also has a dedicated lost pet reporting channel that amplifies your search across the region. File a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Once your report is filed and circulating through official channels and community networks, the heavy lifting is done. You can breathe easier while your report works in the background, continuously cross-referencing with found items and public posts.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hershey can feel helpless, especially when you're juggling calls to the police department, Hersheypark's guest services, the transit system, or local shops where you might have left it. Each organization keeps its own found items separately, and without one coordinated report, pieces slip through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies this. Submit one report and we immediately notify the right authorities, attractions, and transit services in the Hershey area. Then we keep your report active in the background, continuously matching it against new found item announcements and community posts across the region, so you can stop worrying and start moving forward.
