How ReportLost works in Lewiston
You report your loss
Describe what you've lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right departments and channels in Lewiston.
We route it to local services
Your report goes to the Lewiston Police Department's lost and found office, City Hall, Lewiston Transit System, and community groups. You don't have to call or visit each one separately.
Your report keeps searching
Throughout your entire search period, your report automatically matches against newly posted found items, local social channels, and community networks. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing pages every day.
Where to report a loss in Lewiston
Real channels for retrieving lost items, handled for you or on your own.
Lewiston Police Department Lost and Found
The city's main lost and found office, managed by police and updated regularly. They also maintain a Facebook page dedicated to connecting found items with owners. We notify them automatically when you file a report.
City Hall
City Hall holds items found on city property and coordinates with other municipal departments. If your loss occurred at a public building or event, they can direct you to the right office. We help you identify which department covers your specific location.
Lewiston Transit System
Lost something on a local bus? Lewiston Transit holds items for a period after they're turned in. Call their office during business hours Monday through Friday. We can connect you directly with their lost and found procedures.
Lost Pet
If your companion is missing, the Lewis Clark Animal Shelter is your first call. They scan all arriving animals for microchips and maintain a lost pets list for the community. Act quickly and alert them immediately. To ensure maximum visibility in your neighborhood and beyond, file a priority lost pet report.
