These are the official channels in La Habra Heights. ReportLost connects you to all of them automatically.
La Habra Heights Sheriff's Department
The Sheriff's Department handles lost and found reports and can advise on next steps depending on where your item was lost. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and format your report for them.
La Habra Heights City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department or lost and found office depending on where and what you lost. They're open Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5:30pm. We ensure your report reaches the appropriate desk on your behalf.

Getting ahead matters
The sooner you file a report, the sooner it starts working for you. Many recoveries happen because someone saw your alert early on. Submit your report now, and let our team handle routing it to every relevant local channel.
Report my lost item →Losing something in La Habra Heights means contacting multiple places separately: the Sheriff's Department, City Hall, OCTA bus lines, plus checking Facebook groups and Nextdoor yourself. Each place handles things differently, and unless you call back constantly, posts get buried. Most people give up after a week.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, submitted once, reaches all the right channels at once. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after day one. It stays active and searches for new matches automatically during your entire search period, without you having to refresh a dozen pages every morning. Once you've reported it, your work is done.

Policy varies by item type and condition. Contact the Sheriff's Department at 562-694-6302 (Monday-Thursday, 8am-5:30pm) to confirm how long a specific item is held before disposal or donation.
What happens if I find an item on an OCTA bus?
Report it to the bus driver immediately, or call OCTA at 714-636-7433 with your route number. They'll direct you to the correct lost and found depot. ReportLost generates this information automatically.

Stray animals are taken to the Downey Animal Shelter. Call the Sheriff's Department at 562-694-6302 or Fido Come Home at 562-694-8090. A priority lost pet report through ReportLost will alert both immediately.
Can I report a lost item if I'm not sure of the exact location?
