Ready to report your loss?
The sooner you file, the sooner your report can start working for you. Once submitted, you can step back, knowing the Oroville Police Department, local transit, community groups, and social channels have your description.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Oroville can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure which office to call or where to post. The police department handles some losses, the transit authority has its own lost and found, animal shelters take in strays, and community groups share posts on Facebook, but coordinating across all these separate channels takes time and persistence.
ReportLost simplifies that. File one report and we handle the routing. We get your information in front of the Oroville Police Department, Northwest SPCA, B-Line Transit, and the community groups where locals post found items. Better yet, your report stays active throughout your search period, automatically cross-checking new found items and alerts so you can move on instead of monitoring everything yourself.
