How ReportLost Works
You Report the Loss
Describe what you lost, where, and when. We gather the essential details and generate a record that gets routed to the right local channels.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report automatically goes to Lathrop Police, City Hall, Lathrop Transit (if transit-related), Lathrop Animal Services (for pets), and relevant public notices, so each agency gets the alert they need.
Automated Monitoring Finds Matches for You
For the next 12 months, we scan social channels, community posts, marketplaces, and local forums every week for items matching your description. When we find a credible match, we alert you instantly, saving you hours of daily searching.
Where to Report in Lathrop
A breakdown of the main services and how to reach them. ReportLost routes to all of these for you.
Lathrop Police Department
The official channel for lost property reports. The Police Department maintains a lost and found and can file a report for your missing item. We determine which division covers your loss location and generate the information you'd need if you called them directly.
City Hall & Community Services
City of Lathrop's main administration handles general inquiries and can direct you to the right department for lost items found on city property or in public spaces. Community Service Officers are available 7 days a week. We ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Lathrop Transit
If you lost an item on a Lathrop Transit bus or at a transit stop, contact their customer service. Transit companies typically hold lost items for 30 days. We help you describe the specifics so you get connected to the right bus line or depot.
Lost & Found Pets
Lathrop Animal Services maintains a found animal database and can check if your pet has been brought in. The Lathrop Animal Center is open daily and partners with local rescue groups. To file a priority report for a missing pet and get active monitoring, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost, which also alerts regional shelters and social networks.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Lathrop means juggling calls to the police department, the city, maybe the transit system if you lost it on a bus, and posting on your own to Facebook groups and Nextdoor. Each place operates independently, and there's no single channel that covers them all. Without a coordinated search, items slip through the cracks, and you're left refreshing community pages every evening hoping someone posts a found item.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One form, one submission, and we handle the routing and the ongoing web surveillance. Once you've filed your report, you can breathe, knowing our team is actively monitoring the web in the background, cross-referencing descriptions and dates across every public channel where a Lathrop resident might post "found." Whether your loss happened downtown, near River Islands, or along a transit route, we've got your back.
