Where to report and how we help
ReportLost connects you to every major channel in the Leola and Lancaster area. Here's what each one covers and what we do on your behalf.
Lancaster City Bureau of Police
The Lancaster City Bureau of Police maintains a recovered property log for items turned in to them. If your loss happened in Lancaster proper, they're a key reporting point. We determine which precinct covers your loss location and prepare the exact information to include in your report.
Red Rose Transit Authority

The sooner you report, the sooner help begins.
Once your report is filed, the logistics are handled. The Lancaster City Bureau of Police, Red Rose Transit, local networks, and community groups are all in the loop. Your report will keep working for you in the background, matching your lost item description against new found items for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Leola and Lancaster County can feel scattered. The police department, Red Rose Transit, local businesses, and community groups all receive found items separately, and without a single connection between them, your lost wallet, purse, ring or phone might sit unclaimed simply because the person who found it doesn't know how to reach you. Navigating phone calls, visiting offices, and monitoring social media groups takes time you may not have.
ReportLost shortcuts that confusion. File one report with us, and we notify the Lancaster City Bureau of Police, Red Rose Transit lost & found, and the active lost & found networks in Lancaster County. Better yet, your report doesn't stop after the first week. It stays active and continues to match against new found items, announcements, and local posts for as long as you need, so your belongings have a fighting chance even months later.

ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not in place of them.
