Where Lost Items Go in Middletown
Know your options, or let us handle the routing for you.
Middletown Borough Police Department
The police keep a lost and found for items turned in by residents and businesses. You can call between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays, or email your description anytime. ReportLost gets your information to them automatically, so they know what to watch for.
Call 717-902-0627 (M–F, 9 AM–2 PM)|Email manthony@middletownboroughpd.com|Visit the Police Department
Middletown Borough Hall
City Hall handles found items left in public spaces and can direct you to the right department. Stop by or call during business hours. We route your report to them and suggest exactly what to say so nothing gets lost in translation.
Rabbit Transit (Local Bus Service)
Lost something on a Rabbit Transit bus? Items are held for a set period. Call their customer service line to check, or submit a report online. ReportLost identifies which transit line serves your route and flags your item type with them so it doesn't slip through.
Harrisburg International Airport
If you lost your wallet, phone, or luggage at the airport, the Lost and Found department holds items for a defined window. Call or check online. We make sure your report reaches them with all the details they need to spot it.
Lost Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, time matters. Contact animal control, check local shelters, and post to community pet groups. For lost pets, ReportLost offers priority alerting to make sure every agency and neighbor knows to look.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Found something? Let us broadcast it.
If you've found an item and want to reunite it with its owner, ReportLost can help you amplify your post to the same network of local channels and social groups. The sooner someone reports it, the sooner you can return it.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Middletown means contacting the police department, checking with City Hall, calling the bus company, and scrolling through Facebook groups yourself, every single day. Each office has its own timeline, its own system, and there's no guarantee your report reaches everyone who might find your item. That fragmentation is frustrating and exhausting.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One submission, and your loss gets routed to every relevant local channel at once. Better yet, you don't have to keep checking back. Your report remains active for your entire search period, continuously matching new found-item alerts against your description, so you can move forward while we keep searching for you.
Common Places Where Things Go Missing in Middletown
Whether it's the town center, a local business, or the bus stop, we know the hotspots.
Downtown / Main Street
Shops, restaurants, and foot traffic mean wallets and phones disappear fast. Police and local merchants are used to found items here.
Harrisburg International Airport
Travelers lose items at security, on planes, and in parking areas. The airport maintains its own lost and found, but alerting them immediately helps.
Rabbit Transit Bus Routes
Bus seats and overhead bins are where keys, bags, and phones get left behind. Drivers and dispatchers check regularly, but reporting right away increases your chances.
Public Parks and Recreation Areas
Rings, phones, and personal items slip out during outdoor activities. These areas get foot traffic from the whole community, so community alerts work well here.
Residential Neighborhoods
Sometimes items are lost near home or during errands. Neighbors often find things and post to local Facebook groups before anything reaches official channels.
Community Lost & Found Groups in Middletown
Neighbors post found items constantly. We make sure your report reaches these groups.
Active Facebook group for reuniting lost pets in the Middletown area
Regional Facebook group for lost and found items and pets

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do police and transit keep lost items?
Middletown Borough Police typically hold items for 30 days. Rabbit Transit holds lost bus items for 7 days. Harrisburg International Airport holds items according to TSA and airport policies. That's why reporting quickly matters: the sooner your description is out there, the sooner someone finds and checks it against your report.
What if my item is at the airport?
Call Harrisburg International Airport's Lost and Found at 717-948-3501 as soon as possible. Also, contact your airline directly if your item was on a flight. ReportLost routes your report to the airport too, so they're alerted to look for your specific description.
I lost something on the bus. What's my next step?
Call Rabbit Transit Customer Service at 1-800-632-9063 right away. Describe your item and which bus route you were on. Items are held for a limited time. ReportLost submits your report to them as well, and also posts to local community groups so riders can keep an eye out.
How do I search Facebook groups for found items?
Search "Lost and Found" or "Lost Pets" on Facebook for Middletown, Lower Makefield, and Bucks County groups. Scroll through recent posts to see if anyone has found your item. ReportLost posts your report to these groups for you, so you don't have to manage it manually.
What proof do I need to reclaim a lost item?
Most agencies will ask you to describe the item in detail, and some may request photo ID or proof of ownership (like a credit card for a wallet, or a phone receipt). Have this ready when you call to check on your item. The more specific you can be when you report, the easier it is for staff to confirm it's yours.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with Middletown Police or any government agency. We don't replace calling the police or your local lost and found. Instead, we make your report's reach wider and longer: we send it to all the right places at once, and keep it active for months so you don't have to. You're still the one who ultimately retrieves your item, but we take the guesswork out of where to report and how to keep searching.
