How it works
You report your lost item
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include any details that make it yours: initials on a wallet, a distinctive charm on a bracelet, that unique dog collar your pup was wearing.
We connect you to the right channels
We instantly notify the Waller Police Department, Pierce County property room, Pierce Transit lost & found if relevant, and post alerts to local Facebook groups and community networks so people who find your ring or phone know exactly who to contact.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report automatically watches for new found listings, online marketplace posts, and community announcements that match your description. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, without refreshing sites yourself or scrolling through groups daily.
Where things get turned in
Know your options, but we'll guide you through the best path.
Waller Police Department
The Police Department accepts lost property reports and maintains a property room where found items are held. When you file with us, we alert them to your report and provide all the details they need to check their current inventory and flag your item if it comes in. We also identify which precinct covers your loss location, so you know exactly where to follow up directly if you prefer.
Pierce Transit Lost & Found
If you lost your phone, purse, or bag on a Pierce Transit bus, items are logged and stored by the transit authority. We submit your report to Pierce Transit's lost & found system and ensure your description is in their database. Calling their customer service yourself is always an option, but we do the heavy lifting of getting your case in the system and checking it against recent finds.
Lost Pets & Animal Services
If your dog, cat, or other pet has gone missing, time matters, but so does thoroughness. Metro Animal Services Shelter and the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County maintain registries of stray animals brought in. We connect your lost pet report to both shelters and help you post to local pet search groups so neighbors know what to look for. If your pet has been found, we help you verify it and reunite quickly. For dedicated priority support, you can also file a priority lost pet report.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac)
If you lost something at the airport, SeaTac's lost and found office on the baggage claim level is your direct resource. We can help you generate a detailed report and contact information to send to the airport's team. Most items at airports are recovered quickly if claimed within the first week, so reaching out promptly makes a real difference.
Waller City Hall & Local Government
City Hall can point you toward the right municipal department for your loss, whether it's a city park, local event, or public building. They can also provide guidance on next steps. We help you know exactly what information to have ready when you call, so your report gets logged efficiently.

Getting the word out helps.
The sooner your loss is reported, the sooner found items can be matched to your description. Filing your report now means your phone, bracelet, or missing cat is part of the system across local shelters, transit, police, and community networks right away. Once it's done, you can step back while the search continues.
Report my lost item →Losing your wallet, keys, phone, or pet in Waller means reaching out to several separate places, none of which talk to each other: the local police department, the transit authority if you lost it on a bus, community groups on Facebook and Nextdoor, animal shelters if it's a dog or cat. Each office keeps its own lost & found database; each group operates independently. By the time you've called them all, your item might have been turned in to one place while you're still looking at another.
ReportLost simplifies that scattered process. File a single report with us, and we route your loss to the Waller Police Department, Pierce County's property services, Pierce Transit, and the key local social networks all at once. Then your report stays active, automatically matching incoming found items to your description for months, so you can breathe easy knowing the search is continuing without you having to be your own detective every single day.
