How ReportLost works in Marina
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details needed to notify the right Marina services without you having to call each one separately.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Marina Police Property & Evidence, local transit, Monterey Airport if needed, and relevant community lost & found groups. No back-and-forth, no guessing which precinct covers your area.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report remains active, automatically cross-referencing new found items, marketplace posts, and community alerts. You don't check Facebook groups or local shelters daily; we surface matches as they appear.

Don't wait to report.
The sooner your loss is documented and shared across Marina's lost & found network, the sooner someone who has found your item can match it with your description. Once you've filed a report, the search continues automatically on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Marina's downtown, residential neighborhoods, transit hubs, and lakeside areas see their share of lost items, but recovery depends on reaching the right office at the right time. The Marina Police Department's Property & Evidence division, Monterey Transit's lost & found desk, and community groups all hold items, yet there's no single channel that alerts them all at once.
ReportLost bridges that gap. A single detailed report reaches Marina Police, local animal shelters, transit and airport offices, and the Facebook groups and Nextdoor communities where Marinians actively share found items. Better still, your report doesn't expire after a day or two; it stays live, matching against new posts and claims for months, so you can move forward without constantly re-checking sites yourself.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not as a replacement. We coordinate with Marina Police, local transit, airports, shelters, and community groups to amplify your report and keep it active during your search period. You're welcome to contact these agencies directly as well; filing with ReportLost ensures your case is pushed to them and the community at the same time.
