Where to report lost items in Lompoc
Direct contacts if you want to report yourself
Lompoc Police Department
For theft, lost valuables, or items of significant personal value, call the non-emergency line or visit in person. We generate the exact details to report and confirm which precinct covers your loss location.
Lompoc Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a Lompoc city bus, call customer service during business hours. We point you to the right desk and help you describe what to ask for.
City of Lompoc
City Hall can direct you to the right department or lost and found office for items found in public spaces, parks, or civic buildings. We help you reach the correct contact.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a pet, contact Santa Barbara County Animal Services at the Lompoc shelter or the local humane society immediately. Pets have a shorter window for safe recovery. You can also report found animals to animal control. For urgent help, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost and get our pet-specific matching to local shelter posts and community networks.

Stop checking every site yourself
Your lost item is more likely to be found when your report is out there from day one, and you're not the one refreshing Facebook groups every morning. Start your report now, and let the system work for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Lompoc means contacting the police, checking the bus company, scanning social media groups, and calling local shops all separately, at different hours, with different forms. It's frustrating and easy to miss a lead because the information spreads across so many channels.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, routed to the Lompoc Police Department and all the right local channels, and it stays active in the background for you. You're not hunting for your item daily, refreshing pages and calling around. Your report is doing the work, matching against new posts and alerts automatically, with you only hearing back when something real comes up.
