Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture the details that matter most for your specific situation in Waikele.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Honolulu Police Department, The Bus lost and found office, Waikele Premium Outlets security, and community groups on Facebook and Nextdoor all at once. You don't have to call each one.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays live and matches against new found item posts, community alerts, and marketplace listings. You'll get notified if a credible match appears, so you're not doing the legwork yourself every single day.
Where to report locally
Your lost item may have reached one of these places. ReportLost tells you which ones to contact and handles the coordination.
Honolulu Police Department
The HPD Evidence Room receives items turned in by residents and businesses across Waikele. They hold found property and can check if your item has come in. We'll alert them to your loss and suggest the right contact path so your report reaches the correct desk without confusion.
The Bus Lost & Found
Items left on city buses, including routes serving Waikele and Waipahu, are held at the transit office. The Bus lost and found responds to calls and can check for wallets, phones, and personal belongings. We make sure your description reaches them quickly and matches their incoming reports.
Waikele Premium Outlets & Local Shops
Waikele Premium Outlets has a security office that handles found items from retailers and common areas. If you lost something at a store or restaurant in the area, the outlet's management or individual shop can hold it. We generate the exact information to pass along so each business knows exactly what to look for.
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL)
If your item was lost at the airport or on a flight through Honolulu, HNL's Lost & Found Department holds items during business hours. We point you to the right terminal contact and can reference your loss in community alerts in case someone posts a found item online.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog in Waikele, the Hawaiian Humane Society and County Animal Control are the first responders for reunification. They operate a 24/7 hotline and are Oʻahu's official pet recovery network. Report with urgency, and file a priority lost pet report with us so the community rallies quickly.

Can I search found items posted by the community on my own, or does ReportLost do that for me?
You can search yourself on Facebook groups and Nextdoor, but it's time-consuming and you'll likely miss posts. Once you file with ReportLost, your report stays active and automatically cross-references new found item alerts and community posts for 12 months. You get notified only if a credible match emerges, saving you the daily scrolling.
Is ReportLost.org official, and does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of any government agency. We don't replace the police or other official channels; we coordinate with them. When you file a report with us, we alert the Honolulu Police Department, The Bus, and local community channels simultaneously, so you get the benefit of a coordinated effort without making ten phone calls yourself. Your report also stays searchable for months, which the official channels alone don't guarantee.
