Where to report a lost item in Northampton
Here's what you can do yourself, or let us handle it for you
Northampton Borough Police
If you lost your item within Northampton Borough limits, the Police Department accepts lost and found reports at their main office. ReportLost tells you which precinct covers your location and generates a clear summary to file.
Northampton Township Police Department
The Township covers a wider area around Northampton Borough. They maintain a lost and found and accept reports during business hours (Mon-Fri, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM). We tell you if your loss location falls under Township jurisdiction.
LANTA (Bus Transit)
Lost something on a LANTA bus or at a transit stop? The Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority runs a lost and found program. We point you to the right way to report so staff can search their holding area.
Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE)
If you lost your item at or while traveling through Allentown's Lehigh Valley airport, the Airport Authority maintains a lost property office. We generate the exact details and info to include in your report.

Ready to find what you lost?
The sooner you report, the sooner Northampton's local channels start looking. Once you submit, you can breathe: your report is out there working for you, matched against new found posts and alerts continuously.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Northampton, whether it's a wallet at a local shop, a ring at home, or a pet that wandered off, means checking multiple police offices, transit systems, shelters, and social media groups separately. Each has its own process, hours, and waiting period. ReportLost combines all those channels into one simple report, so you don't have to be the one calling around or scrolling endlessly.
Once you submit, our team alerts Northampton Borough Police, Northampton Township Police (who cover the surrounding area), the Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANTA), local shelters, and active community groups. The real difference: your report doesn't just sit in one office. It stays live and actively matches against new found posts, marketplace listings, and alerts across the region for 12 months, so even if no one found your item on day one, a match can still surface weeks or months later without you having to re-report or re-search.

Questions about lost items in Northampton
How long do police and transit hold lost items?
Northampton police departments typically hold lost and found items for 30 to 90 days before disposal, though policies vary. LANTA keeps items for 7 days. ReportLost keeps your report active for much longer (12 months), so even if an item isn't found immediately, it stays in the search.
Do I have to go in person to claim a lost item?
Yes. Once an item is found, you'll typically need to visit the police department or lost and found office in person with ID and proof of ownership. Some transit systems allow phone pickup arrangements, but check first with the specific office.
What if my lost item was in Northampton Township, not the Borough?
Northampton Township Police handles reports for the Township area (outside Borough limits). ReportLost routes your report to both, ensuring coverage either way. If you're unsure which area, we help clarify based on the location you provide.
How do I report a lost pet quickly?
Time is critical for pets. Contact Lehigh Valley Humane Society, Bucks County SPCA, and post on local Facebook groups (Lost & Found Pets - Lehigh Valley) immediately. ReportLost can file a priority pet report that reaches these channels plus community alerts right away.
What if I lost something at Lehigh Valley Airport?
Call the Airport Authority's lost property line at 610-231-5274 or submit their online form. If you flew through ABE, also check with your airline. ReportLost can coordinate your report to these channels.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that streamlines the reporting process on your behalf. We are not part of any government agency, but we work directly with official police departments, transit authorities, shelters, and community channels to get your report in front of the right people. You're not replacing the police, you're leveraging an automated system to reach them and other recovery channels simultaneously, plus keeping your report actively searching for months.
