How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include any details that make it yours (color, initials, distinguishing marks). It takes about 2 minutes.
We route it to the right places
Your report gets delivered to Lower Burrell Police, City Hall, local social networks, and any relevant services (like Pittsburgh International Airport if applicable). You don't make the calls, we do.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items, community posts, and online listings. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups every day.
Where to Report & What to Know
Local offices that handle lost and found in Lower Burrell
Lower Burrell Police Department
The Police Department's Operations Coordinator processes lost and found reports. Call Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, to describe your lost item and get directions on next steps. We tell you which precinct covers your location and compose your report so you know exactly what to include.
Lower Burrell City Hall
City offices can direct you to the appropriate department and may hold information about found items. Reach out during business hours for guidance on local lost and found procedures. We handle your outreach so you're not making the rounds yourself.
Public Transit (PRT & CATA)

Pittsburgh International Airport
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) maintains a comprehensive lost and found office open daily from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. File a report for free to search the airport's database and claim items. We help you gather the right details and point you to the right desk.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Lower Burrell means tracking down multiple offices, calling the police non-emergency line, checking Facebook posts, and hoping someone posts on a community group. The local Police Department, City Hall, and various transit services all handle found items separately, and there's no single place where everything flows together. It's frustrating, and the longer you wait, the harder it gets.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File once, and we notify the right departments on your behalf, publish your report to community channels, and keep your case active so it continues hunting for a match with new found items for months to come. You submit the details; we handle the legwork so you can breathe easier and trust that your report is working around the clock.
