Ready to start?
The sooner you file a report, the sooner our system begins monitoring for your item across all channels. Every day counts, and once your report is in, you can relax knowing we're watching for matches.
Report my lost item →Bend's a tight-knit community, but losing something here can still feel overwhelming. Whether it's a personal item left at a café downtown, luggage from your flight into Redmond Airport, a wallet on a Cascades East Transit bus, or a pet in the neighborhoods around Al Moody or Juniper parks, you're suddenly juggling calls to the police non-emergency line, the bus company, individual businesses, and scrolling through multiple Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts every single day.
ReportLost streamlines all of that. One straightforward report gets your loss in front of the Bend Police Department's Records & Evidence team, local transit, and the community channels where people post found items. Better yet, our automated monitoring keeps searching for you across the entire web for months, so you can stop refreshing Facebook and trust that we'll reach out the moment someone reports finding something matching your description.
