How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter most.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to West Lampeter Police, Red Rose Transit if needed, and relevant local social channels. No back-and-forth with you.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items, marketplace listings, and community posts. You get alerts if there's a credible match, so you don't have to check every day yourself.
Where to Report in Willow Street
The official channels, explained.
West Lampeter Police Department
Your first stop for reporting lost property. The West Lampeter PD serves Willow Street and maintains a record of found items. We tell you which precinct covers your loss and what information to include in your report.
Red Rose Transit Authority
If you lost something on a RRTA bus, call their lost and found line. Items are held for 7 days, so time matters here. We can submit your report directly to help speed up the process.
Lancaster Airport
Traveling through Lancaster Airport? They operate their own lost and found office with a direct reporting line. Contact them quickly if you left something behind there.
Pequea Township Municipal Office
The township office can direct you to appropriate lost and found services and may hold items reported locally. Check with them if your lost item was in a municipal or public area.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, Willow Street has several resources including the local animal rescues and the Lehigh Valley Humane Society. They keep registries of missing pets and can help reunite you with your companion. For the fastest and most active search, file a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the better.
Lost items are claimed fastest in the first few days, but with ReportLost, your report remains active far longer, constantly comparing your item's description against new found items and community posts. The moment we spot a match, you'll know.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Willow Street can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure where to start. The local police, transit authority, and community groups all handle lost items, but they don't talk to each other, so your lost wallet, ring, or beloved cat can slip through the cracks while you're frantically searching.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report with us, and we notify the West Lampeter Police Department, Red Rose Transit (if applicable), and local social networks on your behalf. Better yet, your report doesn't expire after a single day, it stays active for months, automatically cross-referencing new found items and community posts so you can focus on other things while we keep searching for you.

My lost item isn't showing up anywhere, what should I do next?
Post in local Facebook groups like 'Lost & Found Pets of Lancaster County' or Nextdoor. File a report with ReportLost to keep searching automatically for 12 months, so you're not manually checking every day.
