How it works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, when, and any identifying details. It takes just a few minutes.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Longview Police Department, local transit authorities, the Animal Care and Adoption Center if applicable, and relevant community channels. No runaround on your part.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
Our system continuously scans public postings across social media, marketplaces, and local community boards for items matching your description. You receive alerts if a potential match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook groups and Nextdoor every single day.
Where and how to report in Longview
Below are the key channels. ReportLost handles notifying them for you and tracks matches automatically.
Longview Police Department
The main place to file a lost property report. The department operates 24/7 and can record your loss for their records. We notify them of your report and coordinate with their non-emergency line so you don't have to repeat yourself.
Longview Transit Lost and Found
If you lost something on a bus or at a transit station, Longview Transit maintains its own lost and found office at their main facility. We make sure they're aware of your loss right away and follow up on their holding periods.
Lost Pet? Priority Report
The Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center holds stray animals for 72 hours. Time matters with pets. Once you report a missing pet through us, we immediately flag it with the shelter and scan their intake regularly. File a priority lost pet report
City of Longview
City Hall can direct you to the right city office for lost property claims and can sometimes assist with items found on public property. We prepare the precise information you'll need if you reach out to them directly.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Longview can feel isolating, especially when you're not sure where to start. The police department handles reports, transit has its own lost and found desk, the animal shelter maintains separate records, and community members post finds on Facebook and Nextdoor—all operating independently. Without a single coordinated report, your lost item can slip through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. One report reaches all the right offices at once, and our background monitoring takes over, searching the web continuously for any sign of your item so you can breathe easier and focus on what comes next.
