Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the police and city keep lost items before disposing of them?
The New Kensington Police Department typically holds items for a set period before disposing of unclaimed property. Check with their non-emergency line at 724-339-7534 for specific hold times. This is why acting quickly matters, but also why your report staying active for 12 months gives you a longer window to track matches.
What happens to items left on Westmoreland Transit buses?
Items left on buses are held for 7 days. Westmoreland Transit's team keeps a lost and found, and we make sure your report reaches them. If your item hasn't surfaced by day 7, your active report continues searching other channels where it might turn up.
If I lost something at Pittsburgh International Airport, how do I file a report?
PIT's Lost and Found Office can be reached at 412-472-3525 (6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., daily), or you can file online at their lost and found portal. ReportLost includes PIT in your routing if your loss occurred during travel.
What if my lost pet isn't returned within the first few days?
Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley holds found pets and posts them on social media and community boards. Beyond contacting them, file a <a href="/report-lost-pet">priority lost pet report</a> with us, which spreads your pet's photo and details across dedicated pet networks and keeps your search active for months.
How do I know if something I lost has been found?
Once you file your report with ReportLost, we notify you the moment a credible match appears on social media, community posts, or local lost and found channels. You won't have to refresh pages or call back repeatedly, we'll alert you directly.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the police or city government. We don't replace official reporting, we complement it. Your report goes to the right official channels (police, city, transit, etc.) and stays active in community networks while you focus on your day.
