How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Monaca Police, the borough office, local shelters if it's a pet, and relevant community channels. You don't have to make multiple calls.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and matches against new found posts, community groups, and local listings. We alert you when a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check Facebook and bulletin boards daily.
Where to report and what to expect
A breakdown of the main local channels, and how ReportLost coordinates them for you.
Monaca Police Department
The Monaca Police Department operates 24/7 and maintains records of found property. You can visit the station at 928 Pennsylvania Avenue or call during business hours. After hours, call 724-775-0880 to request an officer meet you at the station. ReportLost identifies which precinct covers your loss location and files the report with the right desk, so you know your loss is officially logged.
Borough of Monaca
The borough office can answer questions about local procedures and sometimes holds lost items reported through the main line. Office hours are Monday–Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM, with additional hours Tuesday through Thursday. ReportLost generates the exact information you'll need when you call, and alerts the right department on your behalf.
Lost pets in Monaca
If you've lost a dog or cat, the Beaver County Humane Society is your first call. Open daily 10 AM to 4 PM, they maintain a lost and found registry and post alerts. The Monaca Police non-emergency line (724-775-0880) should also be notified immediately so dispatch can help locate your pet. Facebook groups like the Beaver County, PA Lost and Found Pets community are where neighbors often spot and share found animals. ReportLost ensures your pet alert reaches all of these channels at once and stays visible in searches for months. To file a priority lost pet report with enhanced community reach, file a priority lost pet report.
Pittsburgh International Airport
If your loss occurred at Pittsburgh International Airport (about 25 miles away), contact the airport's Lost and Found directly at (412) 472-3525, extension 4. Items are held for a set period, so call as soon as you realize something is missing. You can also file a report online through the airport's website.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Each day that passes means fewer people checking recent found posts and fewer recent sightings to cross-reference. Filing your report now, even if you're still looking on your own, ensures the search starts immediately and continues automatically.
Report my lost item →Monaca is a tight-knit borough along the Ohio River, but losing something here means navigating the Monaca Police Department, the borough office, local Facebook groups, and any number of community channels separately. Each office keeps records differently, and time matters when an item could end up anywhere from a local business to a shelter.
ReportLost simplifies the hunt. File once, and we route your loss to the right offices and alert channels instantly. Then your report continues searching for you for months, matching against new found items and posts without you having to refresh feeds or call around again. Once you file, you can focus on your day, knowing the search is moving forward.

What if I lost my item at a local business or restaurant?
Call the business directly first. Many hold lost items for a week or more. ReportLost also alerts the police lost and found and community channels, so your item is on the radar if it's turned in to the borough or shared on local groups.

Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official police and municipal channels. We're not part of the Monaca Police Department or borough government, but we partner with them by routing your report directly and posting alerts to the same community channels where found items are shared. We complement official channels, not replace them.
