How it works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it, and any identifying details. A few minutes and you're done.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the county sheriff's office, local animal control if it's a pet, transit services if you lost it on a bus, and gets posted to community networks in the Spokane area.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically checks new posts, marketplace listings, and shelter records for matches. You don't have to refresh Facebook or call shelters every day, we do the crossmatching for you.
Where to report a loss in Town and Country
These channels work independently, but ReportLost coordinates them all at once.
Sheriff's Office & Police
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office handles lost and found reports for unincorporated areas including Town and Country. You can call their non-emergency line to file a report and ask about items already turned in. We generate the exact information they'll need and direct your report to the right desk.
Public Transit
If you lost something on a Spokane Transit bus, their Lost & Found office logs items within 24 hours and can confirm if yours has been turned in. You'll need your route number and approximate time. We make sure they're notified immediately so your item is flagged in their system.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Gas stations, restaurants, shops, and parks in Town and Country hold lost items for a limited time. Calling ahead saves you a trip, but many turn unclaimed property over to county services after 30 days. We help identify which business or facility is most likely to have received your item and suggest the right approach.
Lost Pet
If your dog, cat, or other pet has gone missing, Spokane County Animal Control and Southwest Washington Humane Society receive stray reports and maintain online listings of found animals. Time matters with pets, so acting within the first few hours significantly improves reunion chances. For a faster, coordinated response across shelters and community networks, file a priority lost pet report.

The faster you report, the faster you recover
Every hour counts. Once your report is filed and active in our system, the searching begins automatically. You can breathe easier knowing that the right people and channels have been notified, and your report will continue working for you in the background.
Report my lost item →In Town and Country and surrounding Spokane County, items slip away in the spaces between places. Your wallet disappears at a local business, your keys vanish on a community transit bus, a beloved pet wanders off into the neighborhood. When that happens, you're suddenly coordinating with multiple offices, scanning Facebook groups, calling shelters separately, and checking back obsessively to see if anything surfaces. It's fragmented and exhausting.
ReportLost cuts through the noise. File one report with us, and we ensure the right authorities, shelters, and community channels are immediately aware. Better still, your report doesn't go quiet after a week. It stays live and active, continuously cross-referencing new found posts, local listings, and shelter intake records against your description. No more manual searching; the system searches for you, and alerts you the moment a credible match appears.

Questions about lost items in Town and Country
How long do local businesses hold lost items before turning them over?
Most small businesses and shops in Town and Country hold items for 30 days or less before transferring them to county services or disposing of them. File your report as soon as you realize something is missing. If the item has already moved to the county lost and found, our report will flag it there.
What should I do if I lose something on Spokane Transit?
Call Spokane Transit's Lost & Found office at 509-328-RIDE (7433) as soon as possible, or use their online form. Items are logged within 24 hours. Include your route number, time of travel, and a detailed description. ReportLost will ensure they're aware of your loss and monitoring their intake.
If my pet is missing, where does Spokane County shelter list found animals?
Spokane County maintains an online list of found animals at their website; call 509-477-2532 to check or schedule a visit. Southwest Washington Humane Society also logs strays. Both are checked automatically as part of a priority pet report with ReportLost.
How long can I keep my report active?
You can choose to keep your report active for either 6 months or 12 months from the date you file. During that entire period, your report stays in the system and continues to cross-reference new found items, posts, and shelter records without any additional action on your part.
What if my item isn't a pet? Will it still be searched for across lost and found databases?
Yes. Wallets, rings, phones, jewelry, and other personal items are continuously monitored across county lost and found records, transit systems, and community social channels. Our system alerts you as soon as a credible match appears, so you don't have to check manually.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police and shelter?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with law enforcement or shelters. We don't replace official channels; we coordinate them. When you file a report with us, we route the information to the appropriate authorities, shelters, and community networks, and we keep your report actively searching for you across all those channels for the duration you choose. You retain the option to call any agency directly, but our service removes the burden of managing those calls and follow-ups yourself.
