Getting your report started makes a real difference
The sooner your loss is formally logged and monitored, the higher the odds of recovery. Once your details are in the system, you're free to move on. We take it from there, watching for matches around the clock across local channels and the broader web.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Perris means juggling calls to the police, checking City of Perris Animal Control, searching Riverside Transit's found items, and scrolling through Lost and Found Pets groups on Facebook. Each agency operates independently, and spotting your item among hundreds of posts across multiple platforms can take weeks or longer. ReportLost eliminates that friction: one report, one streamlined process, and continuous background monitoring that runs while you go about your day.
Once you file a report with us, the heavy lifting is done. We notify the relevant Perris authorities, compile the details the way each agency expects them, and keep watch on the web and local social channels indefinitely. Instead of you re-checking Nextdoor and pet groups every morning, our technology does it for you, flagging potential matches the moment they appear. It's the fastest way to bring your lost item home.
