Report my lost item →Losing something in Maplewood can feel scattered. Whether it's your wallet at a local business, your keys on a Community Transit bus, or your ring somewhere in town, the problem is the same: police, transit, shelters, and community groups all handle lost items separately. That means calling multiple numbers, filling out different forms, and hoping each place actually has what you're looking for.
ReportLost simplifies it. One report reaches the Maple Valley Police Department, Community Transit lost and found, and the right community channels automatically. Better yet, your report stays active the whole time you're searching, continuously matching your description against new found items and social posts. You don't spend weeks rechecking Facebook or calling the police station. We do that for you.

How long do police and transit keep lost items?

If I lost my pet, what's the next step?
Contact King County Regional Animal Services at 206-296-7387 (call between noon and 6 p.m.) or check their found animal search online. Report the loss to local vets and shelters as well. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to tap into a wider alert network.
Can I report a loss online, or do I have to call?
Most Maplewood services accept calls or online reports. Community Transit has a web form; police prefer a phone call or in-person visit. ReportLost consolidates all of this, so you submit once and we handle routing to each channel.
What if my item isn't found in the first few days?
That's when a long-term, active report matters. Your loss stays in circulation for 12 months. New found items arrive at police and transit regularly, and community posts continue. Your report will match against all of them automatically.
