Recent activity
Pennsylvania : there is no single statewide holding period. Each department, transit agency and venue defines its own retention and claim procedure, often a few months, never guaranteed.

Report my lost item →Losing something in West View throws you into a maze of separate systems. The police have one lost & found log, the transit authority keeps another, local shops and Facebook groups fill a third, and piecing it all together while juggling your daily schedule is exhausting. ReportLost cuts through that fragmentation in one simple action.
Submit one report and we handle the coordination for you. We make sure West View Police and every relevant local office knows about your loss, we broadcast it to the neighborhoods where people actively post found items, and we keep your report working around the clock. Instead of refreshing community pages yourself for weeks, your signaling stays live and scanning for matches automatically, alerting you the moment something surfaces.

Questions about lost items in West View
How long does West View Police keep lost items before discarding them?
There's no single standard across all local services. Police typically hold items for 30 to 90 days, but it varies. That's why ReportLost files the report and keeps your search active for 12 months, so you're not racing against a clock.
What if I lost something on PAT?
Fill out PAT's online lost and found form at rideprt.org, or call their customer service at 412-442-2000 (weekdays 6 AM to 7 PM, weekends 8 AM to 4:30 PM). They hold items briefly, so report quickly. ReportLost will also broadcast to PAT's system and community channels to maximize visibility.
If I lost my phone or wallet, who do I call first?
Call West View Police at 412-931-2800 to file a report (they handle lost property for locations throughout the borough). Also contact the business or location where you last remember having it. ReportLost files with all of these at once and posts to community channels to reach Good Samaritans who may have found it.
Can I cancel my report if I find my item?
Yes. Let ReportLost know immediately and we'll deactivate your search. We'll also notify the places we contacted so they stop looking.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the police?
We're an independent service that works alongside official channels, not a government agency. When you report with us, we file directly with the West View Police Department, transit authorities, and other relevant offices. We don't replace them, we amplify your report and keep it searching longer than you could do alone.
