Where lost items typically go in Castroville
Know your options, or let us coordinate them for you.
Monterey County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office handles lost and stolen property reports for unincorporated Castroville and surrounding areas. Lost items can be filed as a report, and non-emergency calls help determine which precinct or station covers your location. We identify the right contact point and the details you'll need to include.
Castroville Community Services District
City services and the community board can point you toward local lost-and-found operations, inform you of local protocols, and sometimes hold items reported to city facilities. Reach out for guidance on filing locally or to ask if anything matching your loss has been turned in.
Monterey Regional Airport (MRY)
If you lost an item while traveling or at the airport, the MRY Lost and Found office on the second floor of the terminal receives all items found within the facility. Business hours are limited, so calling ahead is wise. We can generate the exact information to bring or provide when you call.
