Where to report a lost item in Sherwood
These are the official channels you can contact directly. ReportLost handles the coordination for you.
Sherwood Police Department
The Sherwood Police Department accepts lost and found reports and may hold items for a period of time. Filing a report with local law enforcement creates an official record and increases the chances of recovery if someone brings your item in. We make sure your report reaches the right department and precinct.
City of Sherwood
City Hall coordinates with local services and can point you toward where lost items are typically turned in across municipal offices and public spaces. We help you generate the exact information City Hall needs and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Local shops, restaurants, and public places
If you lost your item at a specific business, restaurant, or public venue, that location's lost and found is usually your first stop. Staff can tell you how long they hold items and what happens if no one claims them. Many Sherwood businesses actively reunite people with lost wallets, phones, and jewelry.

If you've lost a cat or dog, contact Washington County Animal Services immediately at 503-846-7039. They hold lost pets that lack identification and can help spread the word. For the fastest results and ongoing support, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.

Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Sherwood means making calls to the police department, checking with City Hall, reaching out to local shops and services, and monitoring social media on your own. Different departments hold lost items for different lengths of time, phone lines can be hard to reach, and there's no single place where everything connects. It's exhausting, and many items slip through the cracks simply because the report never reaches the right person.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. Instead of juggling multiple phone calls and dead ends, you file one clear report. We push it to the Sherwood Police Department, City Hall, and active local community channels right away. Then, your report stays active for 12 months, automatically comparing new found announcements and listings with your item's details. You're no longer checking Facebook groups or calling around; your report is working for you behind the scenes. The moment someone posts that they've found something matching your description, you get notified.
