How ReportLost Works
You file a detailed report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect everything needed so you don't have to repeat yourself across multiple offices.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Hawaiian Gardens Public Safety, the Animal Shelter if applicable, and gets shared across local social networks where residents post found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found items posted locally. You'll get an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you can focus on your day.
Where Lost Items Go in Hawaiian Gardens
Know the right channel, or let us route it for you.
Hawaiian Gardens Public Safety
The city's Public Safety Center handles reports for items lost or found in public spaces. They're open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We'll tell you which department can assist and generate the report details they'll need.
Animal Shelter
If you've lost or found a pet, the Hawaiian Gardens Animal Shelter is your primary resource. They maintain records of animals brought in and can help reunite you with your companion. For a faster, more targeted approach that alerts the shelter and local pet networks simultaneously, file a priority lost pet report.
City Hall
Hawaiian Gardens City Hall can direct you to the right department or provide general guidance on where lost items are typically held. They're available weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and we can point you to the correct extension.
Community & Social Networks
Local Facebook groups and Nextdoor are where many residents post found items. These networks move fast, but monitoring them manually every day is exhausting. We post your report to the right communities and keep it visible throughout your search.
