Where to report and how ReportLost helps
Guadalupe has several places to file a lost item report. Below is what each handles and how we streamline the process.
Guadalupe Police Department
The police department accepts lost and found reports during business hours. We prepare the exact details to include so your report is complete and clear from the start.
City of Guadalupe Administration
City Hall coordinates lost and found inquiries and can direct you to the right department. We help you know which office handles your type of item and what information they'll need.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in the Guadalupe area, contact Santa Barbara County Animal Services right away. They maintain lost pet records and can help you search. For broader community reach, file a priority lost pet report with us to alert local networks immediately.

Ready to get your report active?
The sooner you file, the sooner your search is coordinated across police, city services, and community channels. Every day counts, and your report will stay in circulation for the long term.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Guadalupe can feel isolating. You might need to call the police non-emergency line, check with local businesses where you were, reach out to community Facebook groups, and then wait by the phone hoping someone finds your wallet, ring, or bag. Multiple agencies, separate systems, no coordination—and no guarantee anyone will recognize a match when it turns up.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches all the right channels at once, and your signalement stays active month after month, automatically cross-checking new found items and community posts with your description. Once you've reported, you can breathe; our process takes the legwork off your shoulders.
