Report my lost item →Losing something in La Habra means reaching out to separate places, each with different hours and processes. The Police Department handles reports at one desk, City Hall might direct you elsewhere, and if it's a bus item, OCTA has its own system. Meanwhile, community posts about found items scatter across Facebook and Nextdoor, and you'd have to search them manually every day.

Our system scans local groups and announcements automatically, matching descriptions and locations to alert you when someone posts a found item that matches yours. You report once, then focus on your day while we work in the background.
