How ReportLost works in Pendleton
You report your lost item
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include photos and details about your ring, purse, or bracelet. We gather the exact information the Pendleton Police Department and local lost and found offices need.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Pendleton Police Department (765-642-0221), Town Hall, Pendleton Transit, local businesses, and active community channels. No more guessing which office to call.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically crosses incoming found items, Facebook posts, Nextdoor announcements, and community messages against your description. You get alerts when a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Where lost items go in Pendleton
The official channels we connect you to so you don't have to.
Pendleton Police Department
The Police Department is your first stop for lost items and official reports. They maintain a lost and found log and can advise on next steps based on where you lost your purse or keys. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and handle the report routing for you.
Town of Pendleton Hall
Town Hall at 100 West State Street keeps records of items turned in at municipal offices and community events. Staff can answer questions about local lost and found policies and direct you to the right department. We make sure your report reaches the exact desk that handles your situation.
Pendleton Transit
Pendleton Transit provides free public bus service with routes running 7 AM to 6 PM weekdays. Items left aboard are recovered and held by the transit department. If your wallet went missing on a bus, transit staff can assist in your search. We notify Pendleton Transit about your loss so drivers and depot staff are aware.
Lost & Found for Pets
If you've lost a dog or cat in Pendleton, local animal groups and the community are your lifeline. Facebook groups like Pendleton/Mission Pet Lost & Found and PawBoost connect pet owners with found animals and shelters. Urgent: if your dog or cat is missing, file a priority lost pet report and we'll amplify it across local pet networks.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Downtown shops, restaurants, parks, and gathering spots often hold lost items for a period before donating or discarding them. Pendleton's community is helpful, and business owners frequently keep lost wallets and phones behind the counter. We generate a checklist of likely spots to contact and provide talking points for your inquiry.

Don't wait to report your loss
The sooner your report reaches the Pendleton Police Department and other local channels, the fresher the lead. Once you file with us, you can breathe easy, knowing our team is routing your information and your report is active in the search.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Pendleton means reaching out to the police, checking with businesses, scanning social media, and revisiting the place where you lost it. Each channel operates independently, and if no one finds your item on day one, it's easy to fall through the cracks. That's where ReportLost steps in: one form centralizes your search and connects you to every relevant office and community group at once.
Rather than copying your description into a dozen places or calling multiple departments, you report once. Our team ensures the Pendleton Police Department, Town Hall, transit staff, and local community networks all know about your lost ring or wallet. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after a week. It keeps matching against new found items and posts for months, so you can focus on your day while we work behind the scenes.
