How ReportLost works in Pasadena
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate the exact details needed for Pasadena Police, transit staff, and other recovery channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Pasadena Police Department's Lost Property unit, Pasadena Transit Lost & Found, and relevant local services. No back-and-forth on your end.

Our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local marketplaces, and public posts across the web every day for months. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. You don't have to check manually.
Where to report and recover lost items in Pasadena
The official channels and how ReportLost connects you to each
Pasadena Police Department
The Pasadena Police Department accepts lost property reports and maintains a lost items database. You can report a loss by calling their non-emergency line or visiting in person. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and prepare the report details they'll need.
Pasadena Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Pasadena Transit bus, the Lost & Found office can help you locate it. Items are held for a set period. We help you report the loss and provide the correct details to speed up the search.
Pasadena City Services
City Hall and various city departments sometimes receive lost items found in public spaces or city facilities. Reaching the right desk can be confusing, but we know who to contact and what information to provide on your behalf.
Lost Pets
The Pasadena Humane Society houses lost and found pets and can check their current animal listings. They also work closely with local shelters and rescue networks. If your pet is missing, act fast and contact them immediately, then file a priority lost pet report.

Ready to recover what you've lost?
The sooner you report, the sooner we start monitoring. While official channels process your loss, our system scans the web 24/7 to find matches. Every day counts, but once you report, the work shifts to us.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Pasadena puts you in a frustrating position: the police handle lost property one way, transit has its own system, community groups post found items on Facebook, and you end up juggling multiple phone calls and checking different sites repeatedly. By the time you've contacted everyone, days have passed.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. Submit your loss once, and we notify the right departments, generate the information they need, and then keep watch on the web for you while you get back to your day. For months, our automated system monitors local recovery channels and alerts you the moment something matching your description surfaces, so you're not doing the daily detective work alone.
