You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture the exact details needed for every channel in Oxnard.

We search Facebook groups, community posts, Craigslist, local marketplaces, and city channels repeatedly over weeks and months. The moment a credible match surfaces, you're alerted instantly, so you never miss a chance to report your loss.
Where to report and what ReportLost handles
Below are the official channels and what happens when you file with us
Oxnard Police Department
The police Records & Property/Evidence unit processes lost items reported to them. Items held there follow a property release procedure. When you report through ReportLost, we submit the essential information directly to their Records department so the intake is accurate and complete.
Gold Coast Transit District (GCTD)
If you left something on a bus, the transit authority maintains a lost and found. Items are typically held for a set period. ReportLost ensures your report reaches their Customer Service team with all relevant route and timeframe details, so staff can pinpoint your item quickly.
Oxnard Airport
Items left at Oxnard Airport's terminal or grounds are handled by Airport Operations. For quick recovery, contact the administration office directly. ReportLost ensures your loss is documented in case your item is turned in.
Lost Pets & Animal Services
Ventura County Animal Services operates the shelter and lost pet network for the region. If you've lost a cat or dog, their system lists all animals in care, and their team can advise on recovery steps. ReportLost coordinates with shelter procedures and alerts you to promising leads across their database and social channels. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report for faster routing.
City of Oxnard
Oxnard City Hall and its administrative offices handle public property inquiries and can direct you to the appropriate department. ReportLost coordinates with city records when items are found at public facilities.
Community Lost & Found Groups
Oxnard residents actively share found items in local Facebook groups like 'Lost and Found [People, Pets & Belongings] - Ventura County' and '805 Lost and Found,' as well as Craigslist and Nextdoor. ReportLost automatically monitors these spaces and alerts you when a match is posted, so you benefit from community eyes without having to scroll daily.

The sooner you report, the better the outcome
Starting your report today ensures your loss is logged with every relevant office and monitored across community channels from the moment items are being actively searched for. Once submitted, you can step back and let ReportLost's automated system work for you.
Report my lost item →Oxnard residents face a frustrating scatter of lost-and-found services: the police department, city transit, animal shelter, harbor areas, and a dozen fragmented Facebook groups and community channels. If you lose something, you're left contacting each place separately, hoping someone found it and posted it somewhere you'll notice.
ReportLost simplifies that. Submit once, and we orchestrate outreach to every relevant authority and community channel in Oxnard, then handle the ongoing detective work. Instead of checking Facebook groups and Craigslist every morning for months, our automated system scans those spaces for you continuously, cross-referencing descriptions, dates, and locations. When a genuine match appears, you're notified right away, with all the contact information to complete the recovery.
