How ReportLost works in Camas
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to route your case to the right local channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Camas Police Department, C-TRAN transit services, relevant shelter networks, and local Facebook groups and community pages, so every channel that might help already knows about your loss.
Your report keeps searching automatically
While you go about your day, your report remains active and continuously matches against new found-item posts, community alerts, and marketplace listings. We'll notify you the moment a credible match surfaces, so you can reconnect with your belongings without revisiting the same sites over and over.
Where to report a lost item in Camas
Here are the main channels; ReportLost coordinates the work across all of them.
Camas Police Department
The city's main lost and found office. Items turned in to officers or brought to the station are logged and held. We tell you exactly which location to reference when you call and provide the details they'll need to spot your item.
C-TRAN (Public Transit)
Camas is served by C-TRAN buses. If you left something on board or at a transit stop, C-TRAN's lost and found office holds items temporarily. We help you know what to report and what to expect.
City of Camas offices and local businesses
Items left at restaurants, shops, libraries, parks, and other public spaces often end up with the business manager or the front desk. City Hall and downtown businesses are typical spots where locals bring found items.
Lost pets
If you've lost a cat or dog, the Camas/Washougal Impound, Southwest Washington Humane Society, and West Columbia Gorge Humane Society all maintain found pet listings. Post in the Camas/Washougal Lost Pet Connection Facebook group and community networks for faster reach. For urgent help, file a priority lost pet report with us instead.

The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins
Every hour counts when something goes missing. Filing a report quickly with ReportLost gets your item description into the right hands immediately, and your case stays active as your strongest advocate for the next 12 months. Once your report is in, you can step back and let the process work.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Camas puts you in a frustrating position: is it with the police lost and found, at a local business, on a C-TRAN bus, at the shelter, or posted in one of several community Facebook groups? Each place has different hours, procedures, and how they organize their items. Without a single point of contact, you end up spending weeks calling around and scrolling through posts yourself.
ReportLost simplifies that scatter. One report, filed once, reaches every place that might have your item and keeps searching on your behalf for months. You'll get an alert if anything matches, while your case stays active in the background. It's the shortcut that lets you stop worrying and actually focus on your day.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Camas
How long will the police or C-TRAN hold a lost item?
The Camas Police Department typically holds items for a set retention period before disposal; contact them at 360-834-4151 to confirm current policy. C-TRAN also holds items temporarily; call 360-695-0123 as soon as possible to check if your item is there, as transit systems often clear lost and found regularly.
What if I lost something on a C-TRAN bus?
Call C-TRAN's Lost and Found line at 360-695-0123 with a description. Items are collected and held for a limited time. The faster you report, the higher the chance it's still available. ReportLost will also alert C-TRAN on your behalf so they're actively looking.
Where do I check for lost pets?
Contact the Camas/Washougal Impound at 360-835-8701 during business hours, or 360-693-3111 after hours and weekends. Also check the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society and Southwest Washington Humane Society. Post in the Camas/Washougal Lost Pet Connection Facebook group for immediate community visibility.
Can I report a lost item found at a downtown business?
Yes. If you know which business, contact them directly. If you're unsure, the Camas Police Department can help you trace it. ReportLost will also route your report to relevant city channels so that if a business brings the item to City Hall or Police, your name is flagged.
How does ReportLost actually help?
We take your report once and route it simultaneously to the Camas Police Department, C-TRAN, animal services, and local community networks. More importantly, your report stays active in our system for up to 12 months, continuously matching against new found-item posts and alerts. You don't have to call back every week; we're checking for you.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not a replacement for them. We coordinate your report with the Camas Police Department and other local agencies, but we're a separate organization. Filing with us ensures your case gets routed efficiently, and your report remains active for months while you wait. However, for items of high value or for urgent situations, contacting the police directly at 360-834-4151 is always appropriate.
