Ready to get your item back?
The sooner you report, the sooner our system starts tracking. Most items are recovered within the first few weeks if they're in any public channel.
Report my lost item →Long Beach stretches across beaches, downtown transit hubs, a busy airport, and dozens of neighborhoods where items go missing every day. When something disappears, you're typically left juggling calls to the police non-emergency line, visiting the transit information center, checking airport lost-and-found hours, and posting in multiple Facebook groups and Reddit threads.
ReportLost simplifies that maze. One submission sends your details to every relevant agency and community channel at once, then our team watches the web for you. Instead of checking sites daily or hoping someone posts about your item, we monitor actively and notify you the instant a genuine match surfaces. The process is fast, thorough, and frees you up while we work behind the scenes.

Questions About Lost & Found in Long Beach
How long do the police and transit agencies hold lost items?
Long Beach Police typically hold items for 30 to 90 days depending on category. Long Beach Transit holds found bus items for a similar period at the Transit & Visitor Information Center. Once we file your report, the clock starts on any agency's hold period. Check with Long Beach Police at (562) 435-6711 or LBT Customer Care at (562) 591-2301 for specific timelines on your item type.
Where can I pick up a lost item once it's found?
If recovered by police, you'll collect it from the Long Beach Police Department at 400 W. Broadway. Long Beach Transit items go to the Transit & Visitor Information Center (downtown, 1st and Shelter E). Airport items are retrieved at the LGB Lost & Found office, 4100 E Donald Douglas Dr, open weekdays 8 AM to 4 PM. We'll provide exact pickup details and hours once an item is located.
What should I include in my report for the best chances of recovery?
Color, brand, distinctive marks, approximate value, exact location (address or intersection), and the time you last had it. A photo or detailed description helps immensely. ReportLost will ask for all this information on your form and pass it along to every relevant agency and social channel.
How often does ReportLost check Facebook groups and Nextdoor?
Our system monitors Long Beach community channels, lost-and-found groups, and marketplaces continuously throughout each day. We're not relying on you to scroll or refresh. We scan for keyword matches and alert you the moment a credible posting surfaces.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?

When you report through us, we notify the police, transit, airport, and community channels on your behalf, then track the web for you continuously.
