How ReportLost Works in Maili
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where in Maili it happened, and when. Include photos and details. We ask just enough to route your report correctly.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes straight to the Honolulu Police Department, The Bus Lost and Found (if relevant), and local community channels. We handle the coordination so you don't have to call around.

For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found posts, Facebook community alerts, and local listings. If a match shows up, we alert you right away. No daily checking required.
Where to Report and How ReportLost Helps
Maili is part of the City and County of Honolulu. Here are the main channels and how we work with them.
Honolulu Police Department
The Honolulu Police Department maintains a lost and found for items recovered in Maili and across Oʻahu. Items are typically held for 30 to 60 days. We identify which police district covers your loss location and send your report directly to their lost and found desk, saving you the legwork.
The Bus Lost and Found
If you lost something on a bus in the Honolulu transit system, The Bus Lost and Found holds items for 45 days. You can call them directly, but we also flag your loss with them so your report is in their system before you even call, and we point you to the exact desk and hours.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport
If you lost an item at HNL or on a flight, the airport's Lost and Found office operates from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. HST, located in Terminal 2 Parking Garage. We ensure your report reaches them quickly so you don't miss the window to claim your property.
Retail and Public Locations
Lost your wallet, keys, or phone at a shop or restaurant in Maili? We help you identify the specific business and connect you with their lost and found, and we also post your report to community channels so other locals can help spot your item.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Maili, the Hawaiian Humane Society is Oʻahu's official lost pet center and operates daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact them immediately and check in person. For a coordinated search with extra reach, file a priority lost pet report with us as well.

The Sooner You Report, the Better Your Chances
Every hour counts when something is lost. The moment you file a report with ReportLost, we begin routing it to police, transit, businesses, and community networks. Then your report stays active in the background, matching new found posts and alerts for months to come. Start now and let us do the searching.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Maili is stressful, and searching for it across separate police departments, transit offices, and online community groups is exhausting.

By the time you've contacted them all, time has passed.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report with us, and we route it to every relevant local channel at once, then keep your report active and searching for you automatically. You can move on knowing that a match will find you the moment it appears anywhere in the system.
