Where to Report Lost Items in Oakley
A breakdown of who holds what and how to reach them directly
Oakley Police Department
Report thefts, lost wallets, keys, and personal items. Officers available 24/7. For non-emergencies, call during business hours or submit a report in person at their Main Street office. We identify your precinct and prepare the exact details they need.
City of Oakley Administration
City Hall manages general lost and found inquiries and can direct you to the right department. Contact the main line or City Clerk's office to report items found or lost on municipal property.

Oakland International Airport (OAK)
If you lost an item at OAK, contact the Lost and Found office on the second floor, Terminal 1. Hours are limited (Monday-Thursday, 9am-4:30pm), so call ahead. For TSA checkpoint losses, inquire at the security office.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching.
Every hour counts when something goes missing. Once you file a report with us, you can step back and let our system do the work. We route your loss to the right places and keep it active in the search for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Oakley can feel scattered, especially when you're left to contact the police, local shelters, online groups, and neighborhoods separately. The Oakley Police Department, Contra Costa Animal Services, and various community channels each handle their own lost and found, but nobody talks to everybody, and nobody keeps looking for you once the initial report fades.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report from you reaches the authorities and channels that matter, and your information stays active in the search for 12 months. You don't have to refresh Facebook groups or call shelters repeatedly; we continue to cross-reference new found items and posts against your description, and alert you the moment there's a credible match. It's the shortcut that gives you peace of mind.
