I would recommend waiting another week or two before filing a lost passport. I wanted to do the same as you but waiting worked. Philadelphia must have had a major backup late January into February. You would still have plenty of time if you need to file a lost passport and get a new one if you wait a few more weeks, worst case you'd just have to expedite the new form for an extra $60. Good luck!
