Ready to get your report started?
The sooner you report, the sooner Pottstown authorities and community networks can help. Once your report is in, you can step back—we keep it searching for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Pottstown puts you in a frustrating spot: the police have one system, PART transit has another, local Facebook groups are scattered, and Nextdoor posts disappear. By the time you've called the police non-emergency line, checked with the bus station, and posted to three different groups, hours have passed and momentum is lost.
ReportLost simplifies this. Submit one detailed report, and we immediately notify the relevant Pottstown authorities and channels. More importantly, your report doesn't stop searching after a week. It stays active for your entire search period, automatically matching against new found items and community posts so you can focus on your day instead of monitoring the web every few hours.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Pottstown Police Department hold found items?
Most police departments hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposing of them. Contact the Pottstown Police Department at 610-970-6570 to confirm current hold periods and check if your item has been turned in. The sooner you report, the better your chances.
What if I lost something on a PART bus?
PART's lost and found office is at 902 Farmington Avenue. Call 610-326-5413 to report or inquire about your item. Have a detailed description ready, including the bus route and approximate time you were on the bus.
How long will ReportLost keep searching for my item?
Your report remains active for your entire search period, which you choose at signup (12 months). During that time, we cross-reference new found posts, community announcements, and local listings against your description and alert you to any credible matches, so you don't have to manually check sources every day.
Can I file a lost pet report differently than a lost item?
Yes. Lost pets require immediate and specialized attention. For faster routing to animal control and community pet networks, use our dedicated lost pet report, which generates alerts to local shelters and pet-focused groups.
What should I include in my report?
Be as specific as possible: item description, color, brand, distinguishing marks, exact location where you lost it, and the date and time. If it's a pet, include its name, breed, color, collar or distinguishing features, and where it was last seen. Photos help immensely.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service and does not replace the police or official lost and found offices. We are a coordination tool that files your report with the right authorities and keeps it active in community channels. You still work with Pottstown Police, PART, and other local services, but ReportLost saves you the time of calling each one separately and ensures your report stays in circulation for months, not just days.
