How ReportLost works in Bolinas
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed by local authorities and community channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Marin County Sheriff's Office, Marin Transit if applicable, and relevant community networks. We handle the coordination so you don't have to call multiple offices.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically cross-checks new found items, posts, and marketplace listings. You'll get an alert if a credible match surfaces, without having to refresh search results yourself.
Where items are handled in Bolinas
The official channels we notify, and what to expect
Marin County Sheriff's Office
The primary law enforcement agency serving unincorporated Bolinas. They maintain a lost and found for items turned in locally. We identify the correct station and file your report where they accept third-party submissions.
Marin Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Marin Transit bus, the lost and found office accepts reports by phone. We'll make sure your loss is registered and checked against items turned in.

Ready to report your loss?
The sooner you file, the sooner we begin coordinating with local offices and community channels. Once your report is in, our team takes it from there.
Report my lost item →Bolinas is a tight-knit coastal community where lost items can slip away fast—onto a beach, into a parked car, or through the hands of seasonal visitors. When you lose a wallet, ring, phone, or pet here, the local sheriff's office, transit system, and community groups each operate independently.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report, filed once, reaches the Marin County Sheriff's Office, Marin Transit's lost and found, and the community channels where locals actually post found items. Most importantly, your report doesn't disappear after a few days—it stays active for a full year, quietly matching against new found items so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing community boards.
