Report my lost item →Losing something in Waipio is stressful, and finding it again means contacting several places: the police non-emergency line, transit lost and found, any business where you might have left it, plus combing through Facebook posts and community boards yourself. If it's been on a bus or in a shop, there's no single inbox telling you when someone finds it.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File one report with us and we route it to the Hawaiʻi Police Department, The Bus Lost & Found office, and relevant local channels. Then your report keeps searching for a match across community posts and announcements for 12 months. You focus on moving forward while we handle the legwork and the watch.

Questions about reporting lost items in Waipio
How long does the police department hold lost property?
The Hawaiʻi Police Department holds found property for a limited time before disposing of or donating unclaimed items. It's critical to file a report quickly and follow up within days. ReportLost notifies them with your full details, and your report stays active to catch matches if the item surfaces later through community channels.
What if I lost something on The Bus?
Call The Bus Lost & Found office at (808) 848-5555 (press 5) between 7:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Have your route number, approximate time, and a detailed description ready. Items are held for a set period, so don't delay. We notify The Bus on your behalf.
Can I report a loss online with the police?
The Hawaiʻi Police Department accepts non-emergency reports by phone at (808) 935-3311. Some online options may be available; contact them directly to check. ReportLost simplifies this by collecting your details and notifying police and other relevant services for you.
How do I know if someone found my item?
Without a centralized system, you'd have to call each business, the police, transit, and manually search Facebook and community boards daily. ReportLost does this for you. Your report stays active and automatically matches new found items posted locally. If a credible match appears, you get an alert immediately.
What about items lost at the airport?
Contact Daniel K. Inouye International Airport's Lost & Found at (808) 836-6683 (ground level, Terminal 2 parking garage, 8 AM to 4 PM HST). Provide your flight number or approximate time of loss. Airlines and TSA also maintain separate lost and found offices; ask the airport which agency has your item.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that streamlines the reporting process on your behalf. We are not part of the police department or government, but we partner with and notify official channels like the Hawaiʻi Police Department, The Bus, and community platforms. Filing with ReportLost does not replace calling police; instead, we ensure your report reaches the right places and stays active in the search for months, while you avoid having to contact each place separately.
