Where to report lost items in Brisbane
Here are the key channels. ReportLost can notify them all at once.
Brisbane Police Department
The Brisbane PD handles lost and found reports for items lost anywhere in the city. You can call their non-emergency line 24/7 to file a report or ask about found items. We identify your loss location and file the report on your behalf.
Brisbane City Hall
City Hall tracks lost and found items reported through municipal channels and can advise on city property or public facilities. We route your report directly to the right department so you don't have to navigate the phone tree.
SamTrans & Local Transit
Items left on SamTrans buses or at Brisbane transit stops can be claimed through their lost and found system. Report your loss to SamTrans directly, and we'll point you to the right depot and follow-up process.
San Francisco International Airport
Brisbane neighbors SFO. If you lost an item at the airport, SFO's Lost and Found handles items in terminals and public areas. We provide the contact info and proper documentation format.
Lost & Found Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, local animal shelters, the RSPCA, and community pet networks are your best resource. Report immediately, provide a clear photo and description, and check shelter databases daily. For urgent help and ongoing search support, file a priority lost pet report with us so your pet stays on the radar for months.

Acting fast makes a difference
The sooner you file a report, the sooner we can notify Brisbane's police, city services, and community channels. Once your report is live, our team takes the search from your shoulders. You'll sleep better knowing your lost item or pet is being looked for automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Brisbane disrupts your day, whether it's your wallet at a local café, your ring during a stroll near the waterfront, or your cat who slipped out an open door. The problem: the Brisbane Police Department, City Hall lost and found, community Facebook groups, and local animal resources are all separate channels, and checking each one yourself over weeks becomes exhausting.
ReportLost cuts through the confusion. You file one report with us; we immediately alert the police, city services, and community channels that matter. Better yet, your report doesn't go dormant after a day or two. It stays active, automatically scanning for matches across Brisbane's social networks, classifieds, and animal registries so you can stop worrying and checking constantly.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Brisbane Police Department keep lost and found items?
Most police departments hold unclaimed items for 30 to 90 days before disposal or donation. The Brisbane PD recommends calling within the first week at (415) 467-1212 to check if your item has been turned in, and again weekly if you haven't located it.
Can I check the City of Brisbane's lost and found without calling in person?
Contact City Hall at (415) 508-2100 to ask about items in their custody. Many items lost in public buildings or facilities flow through City Hall, so it's worth checking both the police department and city services.
What happens if I lose something on a SamTrans bus in Brisbane?
Report it to SamTrans as soon as you realize it's missing. Call (650) 378-2750 with the bus number and time; they'll check depots and can hold items for a limited time. Check back within a few days and provide a detailed description.
How do I report a lost pet in Brisbane?
Call the Brisbane Police non-emergency line at (415) 467-1212 to file a report, post on local Facebook groups like 'Lost and Found Pets in North Brisbane,' and check with nearby animal shelters and RSPCA services. The faster you get the word out with a photo and description, the better your chances.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and searching for a match for your entire search period, which you choose at sign-up: either 6 months or 12 months.

Is ReportLost.org an official city service or part of the police department?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside Brisbane's police, city hall, and community channels.

When you use ReportLost, you're still filing a formal report; we just make the process faster and keep it alive longer than you could manage alone.
