Why wait to get started?
The sooner you file your report, the sooner the search begins. Once you've submitted your information to ReportLost, you've activated all the key channels at once, and our monitoring system takes over from there. No need to make phone calls or post on multiple sites yourself.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Gresham can feel frustrating when you don't know where to start. The Gresham Police Department, City Hall, local Facebook groups, and community boards all handle lost items, but they're separate systems, and calling each one yourself is time-consuming. That's where ReportLost steps in: a single report that reaches all the right places at once, plus automated monitoring that works for you around the clock.
Instead of refreshing marketplaces and community pages every day, our technology scans the entire public web, local social channels, and classified listings continuously, matching your item against new posts in real time. Once you've filed your report, you can focus on your day while we keep watch for anything that looks like yours.

Questions about reporting lost items in Gresham
How long does Gresham Police hold found items?
The Gresham Police Property & Evidence unit retains items according to Oregon state law and local procedures. Call 503-618-2045 (Tuesday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM) to check on your specific item and confirm hold times. When you report through ReportLost, we ensure the police know to expect your claim.
Can I check on my lost item online?
Gresham Police allows you to file a police report online at greshamoregon.gov, and you can call the Property & Evidence line at 503-618-2045 to check on specific items. ReportLost also tracks your item in the background and alerts you if we spot a potential match in the community.
What if I lost something on a local bus?
Contact the bus service you used directly (such as TriMet if your route is covered by them) to report your lost item and ask about their lost and found procedures. ReportLost will also monitor local community posts where bus riders often report found items.
Should I post on Facebook myself?
You can, but ReportLost does this for you and monitors the response continuously. We post to relevant Gresham and Portland-area community groups and scan them for matches daily, so you get alerts without having to refresh the feed yourself.
How long does ReportLost monitor for my item?
We scan the web, marketplaces, and local social channels for 12 months after your report, depending on the item type. This gives you the best chance of catching a match weeks or even months later, long after most people have stopped looking.
Is ReportLost.org official or approved by Gresham Police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency, but we work closely with the Gresham Police Department and other local services to ensure your report reaches them. We complement the official channels you'd contact yourself, adding automated monitoring that no single agency provides. Our goal is to improve your odds of recovery by combining official reports with continuous web scanning.
