Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, purse, ring, or phone in West Hazleton means scrambling between the Police Department, Borough offices, transit lost-and-found, and multiple Facebook groups. Each one operates independently, and they're not always in sync, so your lost item can fall through the cracks while you're still making calls days later.
ReportLost cuts through that maze. One report gets routed to every relevant local channel at once. Your information reaches the police, borough staff, transit workers, and active community members all together. Better still, once you've filed with us, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match for your entire search period, so you don't have to restart the hunt each morning.
