The sooner you report, the sooner we search
Filing your report today means your description starts matching against found items and community alerts right away. Once it's in our system, you can step back and let the search continue in the background.
Report my lost item →Salmon Creek sits at the heart of the greater Vancouver area, where items slip away in busy neighborhoods, local transit, shops, and community spaces. When that happens, you're typically left calling multiple agencies separately: the sheriff's office for lost property, C-Tran if it happened on the bus, Facebook groups if you want community help. Each one operates on its own timeline and keeps its own records.
ReportLost simplifies that mess. File one report with us, and we notify the right Clark County and Vancouver authorities, post to the channels your neighbors actually use, and keep your description actively searching for a match across the entire region. You're not stuck refreshing social media every morning; your report does the legwork for you, month after month.

How long do police and Clark County keep lost items on file?
The Clark County Sheriff's Evidence and Property team keeps lost items for a set period, and holding times vary by item type. Contact them at 360-693-3111 to ask about your specific item and how long it will be retained. Our report stays active for 12 months, so we can connect you if a match shows up even if the official agencies' retention period is shorter.

Call C-Tran's Lost & Found at 360-695-0123 and press 3. They're open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and closed weekends and holidays. You must call first to check if your item has been turned in. ReportLost also files a report that keeps your item description circulating if it hasn't been found yet.

For urgency, call the Clark County Lost and Found Pets office at 360-213-2621 to make an appointment and file a report. They work with local shelters and keep records. For immediate community reach across Facebook, Nextdoor, and local groups, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost, which posts across all the channels neighbors actively check.
Can ReportLost help if I don't remember exactly where I lost my item?
Yes. Tell us the general area or neighborhood (like Salmon Creek main area, downtown Vancouver, or near a C-Tran route), and we'll determine the right agencies to contact and which community groups cover that zone. Even an approximate location helps us route your report correctly.
How does ReportLost keep searching if I don't do anything?
Once you file your report, your item description stays active in our system. We continuously cross-reference new found item posts, community alerts, marketplace listings, and direct submissions across local channels and platforms. The moment a credible match surfaces, you're notified immediately. You don't have to refresh Facebook groups or call around every day; your report does that for you.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not run by the police or any government agency. We don't replace official police reports; instead, we *file them for you* with the Clark County Sheriff and Vancouver Police, alert the right departments, and amplify your search across community channels simultaneously. Think of us as the connector between you and all those separate systems, plus the extra automated searching that keeps going in the background.
