How ReportLost works in Honolulu
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, transit, the airport, and local searchers.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Honolulu Police Department Records & Identification Division, The Bus Lost and Found, airport services, and active local community groups. No back-and-forth calls from you.
Automated monitoring finds matches
For the next 6 to 12 months, we scan marketplaces, social media, local classifieds, and community boards in real time. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert. You're never refreshing pages manually again.
Where to report a lost item in Honolulu
ReportLost handles the routing for you, but here's where your item may end up.
Honolulu Police Department Lost and Found
The Records & Identification Division holds lost property reported to police or turned in by the public. They're open Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Call to ask if your item has been logged, or bring details in person. ReportLost generates the exact information they need and tells you which precinct or division to contact based on where you lost it.
The Bus Lost and Found
If you left something on a Honolulu bus or at a transit hub, The Bus Lost and Found is your first stop. They hold items at the Transit Pass Office and are open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Have your route number and time of day ready when you call. ReportLost ensures we route your bus loss report to the right number right away.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport Lost and Found
Lost something at HNL, whether in the terminal, parking garage, or during a trip through security? The airport maintains a dedicated Lost and Found on the ground level of Terminal 2 Parking Garage, open 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You can also ask individual airline ticket counters if you lost an item on a flight. ReportLost makes sure your report reaches the airport's system.
City and County of Honolulu
For items lost at city facilities, parks, or public buildings, the City and County of Honolulu maintains records of found property. Reach out to their main line or visit Honolulu Hale downtown. ReportLost points you to the right department based on where your loss occurred.
Lost Pet
If your pet has gone missing in Honolulu or on Oʻahu, the Hawaiian Humane Society is the island's official pet lost and found. They're open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and coordinate with local animal control. Speed matters with lost pets, so contact them immediately and also file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to reach community networks and activate continuous monitoring.

The sooner you report, the better your odds
Every hour counts, especially in a city as dynamic as Honolulu. Once your report is in, you can take a breath. ReportLost's team and automated monitoring take it from there, staying alert for your item across police channels, transit systems, the airport, and community boards.
Report my lost item →Honolulu spreads across Oʻahu like few mainland cities, from Waikiki's beaches to the windward side, with multiple transit hubs, an international airport, and dozens of everyday loss hotspots. When something goes missing here, the challenge isn't just finding it, it's knowing whether to call the Honolulu Police Department, check The Bus Lost and Found, contact Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, or search through scattered Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts.
ReportLost simplifies that maze. One report reaches all the official channels and local search communities that matter for your loss. Then we take over the hardest part: watching the internet for you. While you go about your day, our system continuously scans Honolulu classifieds, Facebook groups like Stolen Stuff Hawaii, Reddit communities, and marketplace postings. The moment something that matches your description and location surfaces, we send you an alert. No anxiety about missing a post because you didn't check every group today.
