We reach the right places
Your report goes to the Pasadena Police Department, local transit services, relevant businesses, and the community groups where East Pasadena residents look and post. You don't have to call each one yourself.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report matches against new found items posted on local channels, transit sites, and community pages. You'll get an alert if something fits your description, so you're not checking manually every day.

How long does Pasadena Transit hold lost items?
Pasadena Transit typically holds items for 30 days. Call their Lost and Found at (626) 398-8973 as soon as you realize you've lost something on a bus. The sooner you report it, the sooner they can confirm they have it.
What should I do if I lost my pet in East Pasadena?
Contact Pasadena Humane immediately at 626.792.7151 ext. 997 and describe your pet. They maintain a lost pets list and can scan for microchips. Post on the Lost and Found Pets Altadena-Pasadena-South Pasadena Facebook group and check their found pets page regularly.
How do I file a lost item report with the Pasadena Police?
You can call the police non-emergency line at (626) 744-4501 or visit them in person at 207 N. Garfield Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101. Have details ready: what you lost, when, and where. They'll document the report and add it to their records.
How long should I wait before giving up on finding my lost item?
Don't. Wallets, rings, and phones turn up weeks or months after they're lost. That's why ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, matching it against new found items and posts. Many people recover their belongings long after they thought they were gone.
What's the best way to describe a lost wallet or ring so someone will recognize it?
Include color, material, any distinctive marks, initials, or logos. For a wallet, mention what was inside (ID, cards) without oversharing. For a ring, describe the stone or band. The more specific you are, the easier it is for someone who finds it to know they have yours and get it back to you.
Is ReportLost.org an official city service?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that connects your lost item report to the official police, transit, business, and community channels in East Pasadena. We don't replace the police; we help you report to them and everywhere else at once, and keep your report searching longer.
