How it works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter most.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, El Dorado Transit, local merchants, and relevant social channels where residents post found items.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and compares incoming found listings with your description. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Report to the right place
Your item needs all the right eyes on it. Here's where items surface.
El Dorado County Sheriff's Office
The sheriff handles lost and found reports for unincorporated El Dorado Hills. Property can be held for up to two weeks; contact the property unit to schedule a pickup appointment.
El Dorado Transit
Left something on a bus? El Dorado Transit keeps lost items for a period before disposal. Call their customer service line and describe which bus route and time you were riding.
Sacramento International Airport
If you lost an item at Sacramento International (SMF), about 40 minutes away, the airport's lost and found team holds items and coordinates with TSA for security checkpoint recoveries.
Local shops and gathering places
Items lost at Town Center, restaurants, parks, and smaller retail spots often end up at customer service desks. ReportLost alerts the right merchant liaisons so your description reaches them directly.
Lost or found a pet?
Pets need urgent, specialized attention. El Dorado County Animal Services maintains a database, and community groups reunite lost animals quickly. File a priority lost pet report instead.

Start your search now
The sooner you report, the sooner active eyes are looking for your item. Once your report is filed, our team handles the heavy lifting.
Report my lost item →El Dorado Hills sits at the crossroads of multiple reporting systems: the county sheriff, local transit lost and found, retail locations, and scattered community groups. When something goes missing, you'd normally have to contact each one separately, wait for callbacks, and monitor Facebook and Craigslist on your own for weeks.
ReportLost simplifies that scatter. One report, one submission to us, and we make sure the right people know. Better yet, your report stays active, automatically scanning new found announcements and social posts to spot your item, so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing search pages.
