How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, when, and where in Waianae. We ask for the details that matter: the item's appearance, your contact info, and which area or business you were in.
We route it to the right channels
We get your report to the Waianae Substation of the Honolulu Police Department, The Bus lost and found (if transit was involved), relevant Waianae community groups on Facebook, and other local places where found items turn up.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire 6 or 12 month search period, your report automatically watches for matches. New found item posts, community tips, and local marketplace listings are checked against your description. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so the search continues without you having to visit sites and groups every single day.
Where lost items turn up in Waianae
Here's what to know about each place that receives and holds lost property.
Waianae Police Substation
The Waianae Substation of the Honolulu Police Department handles lost property reports for the area. When you file through ReportLost, we notify the substation directly with your item's details. If someone turns in your wallet, phone, or other object locally, it may be logged here. We tell you which station covers your location and what information to include.
The Bus Lost and Found
If you lost your item on a Honolulu bus route, The Bus operates a central lost and found office. Items are held and searchable. ReportLost alerts The Bus's lost and found team with your report so they can flag your item if it comes in. Call them directly to check, or let us handle the notification.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport
Flying out of or through HNL and lost something? The airport's lost and found is in Terminal 2. Items are kept on a searchable basis. If your ring, purse, or backpack went missing at the airport, checking there or calling directly is worth doing, and ReportLost can point you to the exact contact and hours.
Waianae Satellite City Hall
The City Hall satellite office in Waianae handles local government services and sometimes fields lost property inquiries. It's a place to report losses that happened in civic or community spaces. We can route your report to the right city department so nothing falls through the cracks.
Lost Pets
Misplaced your dog, cat, or other pet? The Hawaiian Humane Society and Hawaii SPCA maintain lost and found pet databases and can broadcast your pet's information. Report with us and we'll make sure your pet's details reach the right shelters and rescue networks. File a priority lost pet report

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching
Once you file with ReportLost, your item enters our active search network right away. The longer your report is live, the more opportunities it has to match with a found item or a lead. Creating your report today means 12 months of continuous, hands-off searching on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Waianae means navigating multiple separate systems: the police lost property office, The Bus, community Facebook groups, local shops, and more. Each has its own hours, reporting process, and way of organizing found items. If your wallet, ring, phone, or other item gets turned in, you might never hear about it unless you happen to call the right place at the right time.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report goes out to all the relevant local channels and services, and then your report stays active for the next 12 months, continuously cross-checking new found item posts and listings against your description. You're not refreshing social media or calling around repeatedly; instead, your report is working for you in the background, and we notify you the moment something credible surfaces.

Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?

We file your report with the relevant authorities (Waianae Substation, The Bus, etc.) and amplify your loss across local community networks and digital spaces. We don't replace the police, but we make sure your report reaches them and stays active while they and the community look for your item. For emergency situations, always call 911.
