Report my lost item →Losing something important in Nanticoke can feel like hitting a dead end. You might call the police, check with local stores, post on Facebook, and then keep scrolling through community groups hoping someone found your wallet, ring, or keys. But each organization keeps its own records, and if you miss the right window, your item gets lost in the shuffle.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report triggers a coordinated chain: it reaches the Nanticoke Police Department, gets routed to the right lost and found offices, and lands in the hands of people actively helping reunite lost items with their owners. Then, instead of you refreshing posts every day, your report stays active for months, automatically watching for matches. Once you file, you can breathe, knowing the search is working for you.

Should I report my lost pet to the police as well?
The SPCA of Luzerne County at 570-825-4111 is the primary contact for lost pets, and they work closely with local authorities. Reporting to both increases visibility. Then <a href="/report-lost-pet">file a priority pet report with us</a> to activate community searches.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works with official channels, not a replacement for them. We route your report to the Nanticoke Police Department, City Hall, transit, and community groups, then keep searching on your behalf for months. Police handle legal matters and stolen property; we focus on the legwork of finding and matching lost items.
