How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to the right local agencies and channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Imperial County Sheriff's Office, relevant lost pet organizations, and the community groups where locals post found items.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new found item posts, shelter listings, and local announcements. You get an alert the moment we find a credible match, so the work happens in the background.
Where to Report Locally
These are the official channels you can contact directly. ReportLost reaches them all with one submission.

The local law enforcement agency handling reports and lost property in Heber. For non-emergency lost items, you can call their dispatch or visit in person. We identify the right precinct coverage for your location and make sure they get your report.
Heber Public Utility District
The local government office in Heber. While primarily focused on utilities, they can direct you to community services or lost property procedures. We provide the exact contact details and context so you know what to expect.

Why report with ReportLost?
The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching. Once your report is filed, the routine work is done. No need to re-contact the Sheriff's Office every few days or refresh Facebook groups manually. We keep your report active and alert you when a match appears.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Heber can feel isolating, especially when the Sheriff's Office, animal services, community Facebook groups, and local businesses all operate separately. Each has its own forms, phone lines, and procedures, and no single report reaches them all at once. By the time you've contacted three places, a day has passed and posted items disappear from feeds.
ReportLost simplifies the chaos. One report, one moment of your time, and we handle the routing. We make sure the Imperial County Sheriff's Office has your information, we post to the active lost and found networks in the Imperial Valley, and we keep your report alive and searching for you. You file it once, then focus on your day while we work to match your loss against every found item posted locally for months.

Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Imperial County Sheriff's Office or any government agency.

Filing with us doesn't replace contacting the Sheriff's Office directly if that's important to you, but we make sure they and other local channels are informed.
