How ReportLost works in Jenkintown
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We ask the questions that matter: color, brand, any distinguishing marks on your wallet, ring, or other item. The more detail, the better our chances of finding it.
We notify the right places
We submit your report to the Jenkintown Police Department, check with businesses and public spaces in the area, and post to active local community channels. No back-and-forth with different offices, no wondering which precinct to call.
Your report keeps searching
While you move forward, your report stays active for 12 months, automatically cross-referencing new found item reports and community posts. The moment a credible match surfaces, we alert you. You won't have to check Facebook groups or call around every day.
Where lost items end up in Jenkintown
And how ReportLost connects you to each one
Jenkintown Police Department
The first place many lost items surface. Officers responding to lost pet reports or taking found wallets from kind neighbors bring them here. Call to ask if your item has been turned in, or file a report. We generate the exact details you'll need and can tell you which desk to contact.
Jenkintown Borough Hall
Borough Hall coordinates with police and public works to manage lost and found inquiries. Residents often call here first with questions about where to report or how long items are held. When you file a ReportLost report, we know which office to notify and what information to provide.
Lost or found a pet
Stray dogs and cats in Jenkintown are brought to SPCA Montgomery County or reported through local pet networks. Acting fast is critical. If your pet is missing, contact SPCA immediately and reach out to nearby shelters. ReportLost makes sure your lost pet information spreads to the right animal rescue contacts and community channels.

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
If you lost your ring, purse, or luggage while traveling through PHL, which is about 20 minutes from Jenkintown, the airport's Lost and Found is open from 8 AM to midnight. For items left on a plane, contact your airline directly. We can help you determine if your item ended up there and what information to provide.
Local shops and restaurants
A bracelet left on a table at a Jenkintown café, a phone in a retail store dressing room. Individual businesses hold items briefly and may not have a central lost and found process. When you file with ReportLost, we identify the specific location and contact the right manager, making your search personal and direct.

The sooner you report, the sooner we search
The first few hours matter. Once an item is reported, your description enters the system and starts matching against new finds. Report today so your wallet, dog, or bracelet can begin its journey home.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Jenkintown can feel isolating. Your wallet disappears on Main Street, your dog vanishes from a walk near the park, your phone is left in a local café. The police have a lost and found, community members post on Facebook, and businesses keep items for a while, but nobody talks to everybody else. You end up making calls, posting in multiple places, and checking back constantly.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File one report with us, and we immediately connect with the Jenkintown Police Department, local businesses, and community networks on your behalf. More importantly, your report doesn't stop searching after you submit it. It stays active, automatically matching against new found items and social posts for months, so you're never out of the game. Once you've reported, you can breathe.
