How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it, and how to contact you. We collect the exact information that local services need to actually help.
We notify the right places
Your report reaches Garden Home-Whitford Police, Multnomah County Animal Services (if it's a pet), and gets posted to the community spaces where locals report found items.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For the full duration of your search period, your report stays active and continues matching against newly posted found items, marketplace listings, and community alerts. You'll get a notification if a credible match appears, so you can move forward without daily manual checking.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we start the search.
Filing your report right away gives us the best chance to match your item as found reports come in. Once submitted, your case stays active and our system continues working on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Garden Home-Whitford means navigating separate channels, all at once. Police files go one way, animal shelters another, Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts scatter across multiple feeds, and each day more time slips away. Without a coordinated report, items slip through the cracks and people give up searching.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One simple report reaches law enforcement, the right animal services office, and community networks in your area, all at once. Then your report stays active, continuing to search for matches automatically while you move on with your day. No need to refresh group pages or call shelters repeatedly, we keep that search alive for you.

Questions About Lost Items in Garden Home-Whitford
How long does the police department keep lost and found items?
Contact Garden Home-Whitford Police at their non-emergency line for specifics on their retention policy. Typically, lost items are held for 30 to 90 days, but this varies. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, so even if initial searches yield nothing, matches can still surface later.
What happens if my lost pet is picked up by animal control?
Call Multnomah County Animal Services at (503) 846-7039 immediately. They hold lost pets that lack ID for a limited time before making adoption decisions. Report your pet as lost on their website and post in local pet Facebook groups. ReportLost's priority lost pet report ensures all these channels are notified at once.
Where should I search for items left on a bus?
If you think you left something on a public transit bus, contact Community Transit's lost and found. Include the route number, date, and time. Responses can take several days. Alongside that, file a ReportLost report so the item description reaches other channels in case it turns up elsewhere.
Can I post my lost item on Nextdoor without going through police?
Yes, Nextdoor is fast and effective for community visibility. Many items are recovered through neighbors. ReportLost posts to Nextdoor and other community channels automatically, so you don't have to manage multiple posts yourself.
How often should I check with local businesses and services?
One dedicated call or visit per business is reasonable; repeated calls become burdensome. ReportLost does that initial outreach for you and keeps the search alive in the background, so you're not making weekly calls to the same places.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not a replacement. We route your report to the police and other local services you'd contact anyway, but we do the legwork of tracking all those contacts, posting to community networks, and keeping your case active for the full search period. For emergencies, always call 911 directly.
