How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what it was, when and where you left it, and any details that matter. We'll ask the right questions to make sure each report is specific and actionable.
We route it to the right places
Your loss goes straight to the Corvallis Police Department, OSU Public Safety if it happened on campus, Corvallis Transit System if it was left on a bus, and Heartland Humane Society if it's a pet. We also publish your item on active social channels where Corvallis residents look for found things.
Our system scans for your item continuously
For months, we automatically search Corvallis social media groups, online marketplaces, local lost and found posts, and community channels. The moment something matching your description appears, we alert you. You don't have to refresh pages or post reminders yourself.

Ready to report your lost item?
The sooner you file a report, the sooner the Corvallis network and our automated search begin working for you. Your description goes live in hours, and monitoring starts immediately. Once you've submitted, take a breath – the legwork is on us.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Corvallis means contacting the police, checking the transit lost and found, posting on Facebook, maybe calling Oregon State University if it was on campus, and then checking back obsessively every day to see if anyone's posted it. Each office keeps its own records, and there's no single place where lost items surface. If you find your item at all, it's usually because you happened to see a post or remember to call at the right moment.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report tells every relevant office in Corvallis what you've lost, and our automation watches the entire web public record (social posts, Nextdoor, marketplaces, community boards) on your behalf for months. Once you've reported, you can stop worrying. We'll notify you if a match shows up, so you're not stuck checking the same groups and pages every day hoping to spot it.
