How It Works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include photos and details. We generate the exact information needed for each local channel.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Honolulu Police, transit lost and found, the airport if relevant, community Facebook groups, and local animal services for pets. No more guessing which office handles what.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to cross-reference new found posts, marketplace listings, and community alerts. You get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check daily.
Where to Report Locally
These are the official channels. ReportLost files with them on your behalf and keeps your case active.
Honolulu Police Department
The HPD handles lost property reports for the Makakilo area and all of Oʻahu. They accept reports in person or by phone and maintain a lost and found office. We tell you which report type applies to your loss and connect you to the right department.
The Bus Lost & Found
If you lost your item on a Honolulu bus or TheBus route (including those serving Makakilo Heights and nearby areas), call the Lost & Found office. Items are held and matched with reports. We generate the exact details you need to file if your item was found.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL)
Lost something at the airport terminals, parking, or baggage claim? HNL's Lost & Found office is in Terminal 2 and holds items daily. We point you to the exact desk and hours so your report reaches the right team.
Lost or Found Pet
Pets lost in Makakilo require fast action. The Hawaiian Humane Society is Oʻahu's official pet lost and found, open daily and reachable 24/7 via HomeSafe. Local Makakilo and Kapolei Facebook groups also reunite animals rapidly. File a priority lost pet report with us to reach all these channels at once.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better.
Every hour counts when something goes missing. The moment you file a report with us, we immediately notify local police, transit offices, the airport, and community groups. Then your report continues to search for you automatically.
Report my lost item →Makakilo is a growing community on Oʻahu's west side, where locals and visitors move between residential neighborhoods, parks, shopping areas, and the broader city. If you lose a wallet, ring, phone, or pet here, the search quickly becomes complicated. The Honolulu Police Department handles reports, The Bus has its own lost and found office, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) manages items left at the terminal, and multiple community groups post finds on Facebook and Reddit. A single lost item touches dozens of places, and there is no system that checks them all for you.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File one report with us, and we notify Honolulu Police, The Bus Lost & Found, airport services, and community channels in your name. Better yet, your report doesn't close after you submit it. For the entire duration of your search, your description stays active and automatically matched against new found items, alerts, and posts across the island. You'll be notified the moment something credible shows up, so you can rest assured the search is ongoing even when you're not.
