What to do if you lose something in Hermosa Beach
Know your options and let us handle the details.
Hermosa Beach Police Department
The Police Department holds found property and processes lost item reports at their station on Pier Avenue. They're open 24 hours a day, though it's wise to call the non-emergency line during business hours to confirm. ReportLost tells you exactly what information to have ready and submits your report directly.
City Hall
Hermosa Beach City Hall manages general lost and found inquiries and can direct you to the right department. Open Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. ReportLost coordinates with City Hall so your item details reach the right team without you having to navigate the switchboard.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, contact spcaLA's lost pet services or check with local animal rescue networks. They maintain lost pet databases and can help reunite you with your companion. For faster action on a missing pet, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.
Local Community
The Hermosa Beach community forum on Facebook and other neighborhood groups are active hubs where locals post found items and lost pet alerts. Posting there directly helps, but ReportLost multiplies your reach by alerting these channels on your behalf and keeping your item description live as new posts arrive.
