Found something, or want to act fast?
The sooner you file a report, the better your chances of a match. Once it's submitted, your report starts working across all these channels automatically. You don't need to call each one yourself.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Manheim means contacting the police, checking with local transit, reaching out to city offices, and scouring Facebook groups and Nextdoor all on your own. It's fragmented and exhausting, especially when you're already stressed. And once you post a lost item online, that post sits there; it doesn't actively hunt for a match while you move on with your day.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report, and we automatically notify the Manheim Borough Police Department, Red Rose Transit Authority, Manheim Borough offices, and community channels. Then your report stays active and keeps searching for a match across new found items, posts, and listings for months, so you can take a breath. The searching doesn't stop, and neither does your report.
