Where to report in Mount Joy
These channels exist to help you, but reporting to all of them takes time. We do that legwork.
Mount Joy Borough Police Department
The police maintain a lost and found and log reports of lost items. If your loss involves a crime or you want an official incident record, this is the place to start. We tell you the exact precinct and the information they'll need.
Mount Joy Borough Administration
The borough office can direct you to the right department or lost-and-found location, and sometimes items are turned in here. We generate the details to include when you call or visit.
Red Rose Transit Authority
Lost something on a RRTA bus in or near Mount Joy? Items are kept for 7 days. Contact them directly or let us know your loss location, and we'll point you to the right driver or dispatch.
Lost Pets
If your cat or dog is missing, the first hours matter. Contact Lancaster County animal control and local shelters, post on PawBoost and community Facebook groups, and alert neighbors. The faster word spreads, the faster your pet comes home. Then file a priority lost pet report with us to keep your search active across all channels.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Report now, search smarter
The sooner you file, the more time your report has to work for you. Once it's in the system, you can focus on other things while your item stays in active search.
Report my lost item →Mount Joy is a tight-knit community where lost items turn up in unexpected places, from the police station to local shops to the hands of good neighbors who post in community groups. But those channels don't always talk to each other. You might report to the police, check a Facebook group, call transit, and still miss your wallet or ring because the person who found it posted on a different platform.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we notify the Mount Joy Borough Police Department, Red Rose Transit Authority, and the community networks where locals actually post finds. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after you file it. It stays active for months, automatically matching new found items to your description, so you don't have to check every group and lost-and-found desk yourself every day.
