Where to report a loss in Orting
These are the official channels. ReportLost coordinates with them on your behalf.
Orting Police Department
The police take reports for lost property and can log your item in their system. We generate the exact details to include and tell you which precinct covers your loss location. You can report in person at City Hall or call the non-emergency line.
Lost Pet Resources
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, Pierce County Animal Control and the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County maintain active found pet lists and can broadcast your description to their networks. Time matters with pets, and posting to multiple channels is critical. File a priority lost pet report to accelerate your search.

Pierce Transit Lost & Found
If you left your wallet, phone, or backpack on a bus, Pierce Transit maintains a central lost and found office. Call their customer service line to check if your item has been turned in, or file an online report. We point you to the right desk and the exact info they'll need.
City of Orting
City Hall can help direct you to the right department for your type of loss and often has information on items turned in at local facilities and events. They're also the hub for coordinating with police and other city services.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Getting your report started takes just a few minutes.
The sooner you report, the sooner our network starts looking and the community can help. Once your report is filed, your search enters our system and stays active across all channels.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Orting means contacting the police, checking local Facebook groups, calling animal control if it's a pet, and refreshing community posts every few days hoping for news. That's exhausting, and the trail goes cold fast. Worse, each organization tracks found items on its own schedule, so something sitting in a lost and found office might never cross paths with your report.
ReportLost takes the friction out of the process. File once, and we notify the Orting Police Department, Pierce County Animal Services, the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County, and tap into community networks so you don't have to manually post everywhere. Then your report keeps working for you in the background, matching incoming found items against your description every single day for up to a year, so you can stop obsessively checking and get on with your week.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Orting
How long does the Orting Police Department hold lost property?
Items turned in to the police are typically held for 30 to 90 days before being donated or disposed of. It's important to file a report as soon as possible and follow up within the first few weeks. ReportLost keeps your report active for up to 12 months, so even if it takes time for your item to surface, we're still searching.
If I lost a pet, how quickly should I report it?
Report a lost pet immediately. Call Pierce County Animal Control at (253) 798-PETS and the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County at (253) 383-2733 right away. The first 24 to 48 hours are critical. ReportLost helps you file a priority lost pet report and keeps your pet's description active across shelter networks and community channels for months.
Where do I pick up a found item if someone reports it to the police or a shelter?
For police reports, check with the Orting Police Department at City Hall (104 Bridge St S) during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). For found pets, the Humane Society and Metro Animal Services Shelter will contact you. Pierce Transit holds items at their Customer Service office. We help you navigate each step and follow up on your behalf.
Does Pierce Transit charge to return a lost item?
Pierce Transit does not charge a fee to return lost items. Once you verify your item is in their system, you arrange a time to pick it up. Call Customer Services at (253) 581-8000 to confirm and get the details.
What if I lost something on a bus but I don't know which route?
Tell ReportLost as much as you remember about the time, date, and direction of travel. We'll help you file a report with Pierce Transit, and they can check multiple buses if needed. If you have a transit card or app record, that helps narrow it down.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the government. We're not a replacement for the police or official lost and found offices, but a coordinator that connects your report to them and keeps searching on your behalf. Filing with ReportLost ensures your report reaches the right departments and stays active in the system for months, while you also have the option to file directly with police if you'd like. We work alongside the official channels, not instead of them.
