How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your lost item (wallet, ring, phone, pet, keys, glasses, backpack), where and when you lost it, and any identifying details. We gather the exact information needed to alert the right agencies.
We notify the right places
Your report is sent directly to Midland Police, Pierce County services, Pierce Transit lost and found, and posted to local Facebook groups and community networks where Midland residents search.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period (12 months), your report automatically matches new found item postings, bus returns, and shelter check-ins. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you never have to manually check every day.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Midland can feel helpless. Your wallet might be turned in to the Midland Police Station, your dog could end up at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County, a bus passenger might have found your phone and left it at Pierce Transit, or kind neighbors might spot your ring in a Facebook group. But these places don't talk to each other, and you're left making phone calls, filling out separate forms, and checking social media constantly to see if anyone has posted your item.
ReportLost simplifies this. You make one report with us, and we ensure the right agencies and community channels are notified with a complete description of your loss. Then we do something no single lost and found service does alone: your report stays active and continues to search. We automatically cross-check new found items, bus returns, and posts in local groups against your description for months. You won't miss a match, and you won't have to keep searching yourself.

If I lose something on Pierce Transit, how do I claim it?
Call Pierce Transit Customer Services at (253) 581-8000 or use their online lost and found form on their website. We submit your description directly to their system so they actively look for a match when new items arrive.

Yes. While acting quickly improves chances of recovery, filing a report now means we can continue searching for you. Your report stays active and searches new found items for months, so even older losses can resurface.
Do I have to visit each place in person, or does ReportLost handle it for me?
You don't have to. ReportLost notifies all the key channels (police, transit, local groups) on your behalf. You're free to call and check on your item if you'd like, but we're doing the legwork of contacting everyone at once.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police or Midland services?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official agencies. We are not affiliated with the Midland Police, Pierce County, Pierce Transit, or the Humane Society. We make their reporting systems easier to navigate and coordinate across all of them at once, but they remain the official custodians of lost and found items. Our strength is speed, coordination, and the fact that your report stays searchable for months.
