How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed to reach the right local authorities and channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Poulsbo Police Department, Kitsap Transit if relevant, local lost pet networks, and community groups actively reuniting people with their belongings.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items posted by police, transit, shelters, and community members. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can stop checking constantly.
Where to report a loss in Poulsbo
Each channel below handles different types of losses. ReportLost files your report with the right ones, generates the exact details they need, and ensures your loss doesn't get lost in the system.
Poulsbo Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost property database and can take reports for items lost anywhere in the city. They hold found items and match them against reports. We identify your loss location and file with the correct precinct.
Kitsap Transit
If you lost something on a Kitsap Transit bus or at a transit center, contact their Customer Service office. They keep found items for a set period and can describe what's in their lost and found. We tell you exactly what information to provide and which route or stop to reference.
City Hall
Poulsbo City Hall can direct you to the right department for items lost at public facilities or help you contact other local services. We point you toward the right office and ensure your report is routed properly.
Lost Pets
Kitsap Humane Society shelters lost and found animals and helps reunite them with owners. They maintain records and can check if a pet matching your description has been brought in. We connect you immediately to local pet networks and shelter contact lines, and help you file a priority lost pet report.
Community & Social Channels
Poulsbo residents share found items on Facebook groups and Nextdoor, where community members often spot and post about lost wallets, phones, bags, and other belongings. We publish your loss across these active local networks so hundreds of eyes can help find it.

Start your search right now
The sooner you file a report, the sooner we can begin matching your loss across all local channels and keep searching for you automatically. Every day counts, but once your report is live, the work is done for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Poulsbo means navigating several separate systems: the Police Department's lost property logs, Kitsap Transit's lost and found line, local social media groups, and pet networks if you've lost an animal. Each channel operates independently, and it's easy to fall through the cracks if you don't know exactly where to report or how often to follow up.
ReportLost simplifies this. You describe what you lost once, we identify which local authorities and channels handle it, and your report stays live and actively searching for months. You won't have to re-post across multiple platforms or check daily; we keep matching your report against new found items until we find it or your search period ends.
