Every hour counts, but so does smart planning.
The sooner you file a report, the sooner our team and local networks can start matching. Once your report is filed, you can breathe, knowing that Fife Police, animal services, transit, and community channels have your information, and your report will continue searching for you.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or beloved pet in Fife can feel overwhelming. The police have their log, the transit system has theirs, local animal shelters take reports separately, and community posts scatter across multiple Facebook groups. By the time you've called everyone and checked every corner, days have passed and the trail grows cold.
ReportLost simplifies the hunt. File one report with us and we notify the Fife Police Department, Pierce County's animal services, Pierce Transit's lost and found desk, and active local community channels. Better yet, your report doesn't expire after a week or a month, it stays active and keeps matching against new found items for the entire duration of your search, meaning you don't have to manually re-post or refresh your search every single day.

Questions about lost and found in Fife
How long do animal shelters in Pierce County hold stray pets?
Most facilities hold strays for a minimum of 72 hours. However, the faster you report and the sooner shelters are notified, the better your chances. We alert the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County and Metro Animal Services immediately.
What happens if I find an item on a Pierce Transit bus?
Pierce Transit's Customer Service holds found items and checks them against lost reports. If you've lost something, call 253-581-8000 to file a lost and found claim. We can also submit your report to speed up the matching process.
Can the Fife Police Department help me retrieve my lost wallet or phone?
Police log lost item reports and hold items found during their patrols or turned in by the public. They don't actively search, but they're a key checkpoint. We submit your report directly to ensure they have your details and contact information.
What should I include when reporting a lost item?
Include a detailed description (color, brand, distinguishing marks), the exact date and location where you lost it, and how to contact you. We use this information to generate reports for each local channel. The more specific you are, the higher the chances of a match.
How long will ReportLost keep searching for my item?
Your report stays active for 12 months depending on your selection. During that entire period, we continue to cross-check new found item posts, community announcements, and local listings, alerting you the moment a credible match appears. You don't have to keep checking Facebook or calling shelters yourself.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We're not part of the Fife Police Department or Pierce County government. Instead, we work alongside them, making sure your report reaches all the right channels at once and stays active in community networks while you wait. Filing a report with us doesn't replace calling 911 in emergencies or filing a formal police report if needed, but it ensures faster, broader local notification and ongoing automated matching.
