How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you've lost, where, and when. We generate a detailed report and route it to every relevant office in Napa that might have it.
We contact the right places
Your report reaches Napa Police, City Hall lost-and-found channels, The Vine Transit customer service, and local animal shelters if applicable. You don't have to call around.
Automated monitoring finds it for you
We scan Napa's social media groups, community networks, and public listings continuously for 12 months. The moment someone posts "found," we match it against your description and alert you automatically. No daily manual checking required.
Where your lost item might be
The main places items turn up in Napa and how to report to each
Napa Police Department
The Napa Police Department handles reports for items lost in public spaces and crimes involving theft. For a non-emergency report, contact dispatch directly. We identify the right precinct and file your report on your behalf, so you don't have to navigate the phone system yourself.
City Hall & Public Spaces
Lost items found in parks, libraries, public buildings, or other city facilities are often logged through City Hall's lost-and-found office. We contact the appropriate city department based on your loss location and ensure your item is documented in their system.
The Vine Transit
Left something on a Napa Valley local bus or shuttle? The Vine customer service maintains a dedicated lost-and-found line and will hold items for a period of time. We file your report with The Vine, and we also scan their announcements and social channels for found-item posts.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a pet in Napa or found one, the Napa County Animal Shelter is your first contact. They maintain records of lost and found animals and can connect you with the community. To increase visibility, we also post to local pet recovery networks and monitor Missing Pets of Napa Valley and Napa Valley Lost Pets groups. File a priority lost pet report for faster community-wide alerts.

Starting early makes a difference
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner we begin monitoring and the sooner we notify the relevant offices. Once your report is filed, you can step back and trust our team to search for it across Napa's networks.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Napa can feel isolating, especially when you're unsure which department holds it or how to track it down across multiple channels. Whether it's a phone left at a restaurant downtown, a bag on The Vine bus, or a pet in the Napa Valley area, the official offices exist but they operate separately, and finding your item depends on your own persistence in calling each one repeatedly.
ReportLost simplifies that burden. One report reaches all the places that matter in Napa, and then our team keeps watch across local social platforms and lost-and-found networks while you go about your life. Most importantly, we monitor automatically for months, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups or calling animal services every single day hoping someone found it.

Frequently asked questions
How long will The Vine hold onto a lost item from the bus?
The Vine customer service keeps items for a designated period. Call them at (707) 251-2800 with the date, time, and route number, and they can check their inventory immediately. We ensure this call happens on your behalf when you file a report.
Where should I look first if I lost something at a restaurant or shop?
Most businesses in Napa keep found items at the front desk or host stand for 30 to 90 days. Call the specific restaurant or store directly. We can help you craft that call and follow up if the first inquiry doesn't turn up your item.
What if I lost a pet in Napa?
Contact the Napa County Animal Shelter at (707) 253-4382 immediately, and post to Missing Pets of Napa Valley on Facebook. ReportLost offers a dedicated lost pet reporting service that amplifies your alert across multiple channels and community networks.
How long does Napa Police keep lost items reported to them?
Police departments typically hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposing of them. The sooner you file a report, the better your chances of recovery. Our continuous monitoring means we'll catch matches within that window even if you can't check in every day.
Does ReportLost charge a fee?
ReportLost is a paid service that handles your reporting, coordinates with local agencies, and monitors multiple channels for 12 months. The cost varies by item type and monitoring duration. Exact pricing is discussed when you start your report.
Is ReportLost an official city service or police department?
ReportLost is an independent service created to simplify the reporting process and extend the search for lost items. We are not affiliated with the Napa Police Department, City Hall, or any government agency, but we work with them on your behalf and monitor public channels they cannot. If you prefer, you can always report directly to the police or city, but ReportLost's value is the continuous, automated monitoring and coordination.
