How ReportLost works

📝

You report your lost item

Fill out a quick form with details about what you lost, where, and when. We gather the information police and community channels need to help you track it down.

🔄

We route it to the right places

Your report goes to the Lakewood Police Department (which serves Parkwood), relevant local lost & found offices, and active social channels in the area. No need to make multiple calls or file separate reports.

🔍

Your report keeps searching for a match

While you go about your day, your report stays active and continues to cross-check new found items, marketplace posts, and community alerts. You'll get notified the moment a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to refresh sites daily.

The sooner you report, the better your chances

Lost items move fast. Once you've filed a report with ReportLost, you can take a breath knowing your description is in the system and actively being matched to new found items. Acting today means your ring, purse, or phone enters the search loop while the trail is still fresh.

Report my lost item →

Losing something in Parkwood means navigating multiple channels at once. The Lakewood Police Department, Pierce Transit, local animal services, online marketplaces, and community Facebook groups all handle found items separately. Without a coordinated search, your wallet, ring, or beloved pet can slip through the cracks between systems.

ReportLost shortens that journey. One report connects you to all the right places at once, and crucially, it keeps working for you. Your item description stays active in the search loop for 12 months, automatically matching against new posts and alerts so you're not checking back manually every day. Once you report, the team handles the routing, and your report continues to search while you focus on other things.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Parkwood

How long does the Lakewood Police Department hold lost property?

Items turned in to police are typically held for a set retention period. Contact the Lakewood Police Department at (253) 830-5000 (hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) to ask about a specific item and confirm hold times.

What if I lost my wallet or keys on Pierce Transit?

Call Pierce Transit Customer Services at (253) 581-8000 or fill out their online lost & found form. Items left on buses are brought to the transit hub. Report to ReportLost as well so your description enters community channels and we can follow up on your behalf.

How long do animal shelters hold a lost pet?

King County Regional Animal Services holds stray and lost pets for a limited time (typically 3-7 days depending on intake circumstances). Call them at (206) 296-3936 or email LostPets@kingcounty.gov immediately if your cat or dog is missing.

Can I report a lost item online, or do I have to visit in person?

Many agencies accept online reports or phone calls. Pierce Transit and King County offer online forms. The Lakewood Police Department accepts reports by phone or in person. ReportLost handles all the coordination for you, so you don't have to call multiple places.

What if my item is found weeks or months later?

That's why your ReportLost report stays active. Found items posted on Facebook, Craigslist, and community alerts continue to be cross-checked against your description for 12 months. You'll be notified of a match even if it takes months to surface.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?

ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official agencies, not a replacement for them. We route your report to the Lakewood Police Department and other local authorities, and we keep your item in the search loop by monitoring community channels and coordinating alerts. Police still handle theft investigations and property evidence; we handle the persistent, multi-channel search so you don't have to.
