Where to report in Danville
These are the official channels. We handle alerting them and the community for you.
Danville Police Department
The primary place to file a lost or found report in Danville. Their lobby is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can also call during business hours. We tell you which precinct covers your location and file the report on your behalf.
Tri Delta Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a Danville bus, Tri Delta Transit operates the lost and found. Their office is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call during these hours to report or inquire. We generate the exact details your bus route and time so the search is efficient.
Animal Services (Lost Pets)

Report now while details are fresh
The sooner your loss is logged and broadcast to the right places, the better your chances of recovery. Once submitted, your report stays in motion for the long haul.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Danville means contacting multiple places separately: the police, Tri Delta Transit if it was on a bus, Animal Services if it's a pet, plus local Facebook groups and community boards. Each has its own hours, phone line, and process. By the time you've made all the calls, crucial first hours have passed, and without a single unified report, your item gets harder to track.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report bridges all the right channels at once, and because your report stays active and continues matching against new found items for months, you're not trapped checking sites every day. We've engineered the search to keep working for you after you hit submit, so you can breathe easier knowing the effort continues in the background.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Danville Police hold lost items before getting rid of them?
Check with the Danville Police Department directly at 925-314-3700 for their specific holding policy. Typically, found items are held for 60 to 90 days before being disposed of or donated, but this can vary. Your active report ensures we continue checking and alerting you throughout this period.
What if I lost something on a Tri Delta Transit bus?
Call Tri Delta Transit's lost and found at 925-754-6622 (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and provide your bus route and approximate time. We file the report with them and keep it active, so you're covered even if they don't immediately find it.
How do I claim a lost pet from Danville Animal Services?
Contact Animal Services at 925-314-3450. They'll ask for details to confirm the pet is yours. Be ready with photos, microchip numbers, or other proof of ownership. If you've filed a priority lost pet report with us, we speed up the search across shelters and community networks.
Can ReportLost search multiple locations if I'm not sure where I lost my item?
Yes. When you file your report, tell us the general area or multiple possible locations. We route your report to all relevant local services and community channels covering those zones. Your report stays active, so as new found items are logged, we check them against your broader search area.
How does ReportLost stay updated if a new found item is posted weeks later?
Your report is live in our system for your entire search period (12 months, depending on your choice). We continuously match new found-item posts, marketplace listings, and shelter records against your description. The moment a credible match is detected, you receive an alert. You don't have to check manually every day.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that complements official channels. We're not run by the police or government, but we work in tandem with them. We file reports with local authorities, alert community channels, and maintain your search over time so it doesn't fall through the cracks. You still report directly to police for official documentation, and we ensure that report reaches them and stays searchable.
