Where to Report a Lost Item in Oregon City
Here's where your lost item might turn up, and who to contact. ReportLost handles routing for you, but here's the direct path if you want to report separately.
Oregon City Police Property & Evidence
If you lost something in a public space or at a business in Oregon City, the Police Department's Property and Evidence division may have received it. Items are held and cataloged. We'll tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and what details to provide.
Oregon City Hall
City Hall maintains records of items turned in at public facilities and can direct you to the appropriate lost and found office. They can also help if your loss involved a city service or public event.
Portland International Airport (PDX)
If you lost an item at PDX, the airport's Lost and Found office is located on the north side of the Mezzanine level in the main terminal. Items are held for a set period. We can help you file a report that reaches PDX's systems immediately.
TriMet (Regional Transit)
Oregon City residents use TriMet buses to reach Portland and the broader region. If you left an item on a bus or at a station, TriMet's Lost and Found office tracks it. You can also file a report with them online.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Oregon City or Clackamas County, contact the Clackamas County Animal Shelter or the Oregon Humane Society right away. Time matters for missing pets. You can also file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to activate our pet-focused alert network.

Report Your Loss Right Now
The sooner you file, the sooner your report can start searching. Once it's in, you're done with the legwork, and we handle getting the word out to the places that matter.
Report my lost item →Oregon City sits at the heart of Clackamas County, where lost items scatter across downtown streets, local shops, parks, and the surrounding community. The challenge is that your lost item could end up at the police department, a business's lost and found, an animal shelter, or in a neighbor's hands posted to social media, or sitting unclaimed at a transit stop. Each channel operates separately, and checking them all yourself takes time.
ReportLost simplifies the hunt. One submission to us means your loss gets flagged with the right local authorities, animal services, and community channels at once. Better yet, your report doesn't disappear after a day or two, it stays active and keeps comparing new found items and posts against your description for months, alerting you the moment something credible appears. You file once; we keep searching for you.
