How it works in Astoria
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter and generate a clear report tailored to Astoria's recovery channels.
We route to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Astoria Police Department's lost and found system, local transit services, and community networks in the area. No runaround, no repeated calls.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you move forward, your description stays active across local channels for 12 months. If a match surfaces, you get notified. You don't have to check Facebook groups or call around every day.
Where to recover lost items in Astoria
From police to transit to community channels, here's the full landscape. Or skip the legwork and file with us.
Astoria Police Department
The city's main lost and found repository. Call the non-emergency dispatch line and describe your loss. The police log it and hold items for a set period. We file your report directly with them, so you don't have to make the call yourself.
Astoria Transit Center
Left something on the local bus? The Astoria Transit Center maintains a lost and found for items recovered from vehicles and the station itself. We direct your report to the right desk so staff know to look for your item.
Shops, restaurants & public places
Lost a purse at a local café or a bracelet at a shop downtown? Many Astoria businesses keep a lost and found drawer. We help you identify which business to contact and suggest what details to mention. Often the quickest route.
Lost pet?
If you've lost a dog or cat in Astoria, contact the police at 503-325-4411 to report the loss, and notify nearby veterinary clinics and animal rescues. Your pet needs faster action than a standard report. File a priority lost pet report to activate faster community alerts.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Don't let time slip away
The sooner your loss is reported and routed to the right places, the better your chances of recovery. Filing with us takes minutes, and your report immediately goes to work across Astoria's recovery network.
Report my lost item →Lose a wallet at a downtown coffee shop, a ring on the Astoria waterfront, or a phone at the transit center, and you're suddenly juggling calls to three different places: the police non-emergency line, the transit lost and found, and local community boards. Each one operates on its own timeline, and there's no single thread connecting them. By the time you've made all the calls, your item may already be buried in a pile or moved to storage.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File one report with us, and we connect your loss to the Astoria Police Department, local transit services, and the community networks where found items actually surface. Better yet, your report doesn't disappear after a day or a week. It stays active for months, continuously cross-referencing new found-item posts and announcements with your description, so you can stop worrying and get on with your day.
