How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed to alert the right offices and community groups.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Turtle Creek Police, Wilkins Township Animal Control (if a pet), transit services if applicable, and gets posted to local community channels where neighbors actively search.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to cross-check against new found items and community posts. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Turtle Creek
A breakdown of the main channels and what each handles
Turtle Creek Police Department
The primary reporting channel for lost and found items in Turtle Creek. They maintain records and can advise on next steps. We generate the exact details to include in your report and ensure your information reaches the right desk.
Turtle Creek Borough Hall
The municipal office can direct you to specific departments or services depending on what you lost and where. We let you know which offices to contact and what information they'll need.
Public Transit Lost & Found
If your item was lost on a bus, contact Port Authority Transit (for Pittsburgh-area routes) or Rabbit Transit (for regional service). Both have online forms and phone lines. We help you identify which service covers your route and what details to submit.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, contact Wilkins Township Animal Control immediately. They log found animals and can connect you with local rescue networks and PawBoost alerts. We help you file a priority lost pet report across all channels at once, plus we keep your pet's information active in community searches for months.
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT)
If you lost an item at or around Pittsburgh International Airport, their Lost and Found office handles recovery. We provide the exact information to include when you call or file their online form.

Acting quickly improves your chances.
The sooner you report your loss, the sooner our team can alert all the right channels and activate your ongoing search. Most items are recovered within the first few days, but with ReportLost your search keeps active for up to a year.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Turtle Creek means contacting the police department, checking multiple transit lost and found systems, monitoring local Facebook groups, and hoping someone posts about your item. The challenge is that each channel operates separately, and once you file a report, you're responsible for checking back constantly to see if anything surfaces.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we immediately connect your loss to Turtle Creek Police, Wilkins Township Animal Control, public transit, and active community networks. Better yet, your report doesn't just sit there, it stays active and keeps searching for matches automatically, month after month, so you can move forward knowing the search is still underway.
