The sooner you report, the better
Lost items fade from public memory and agency records fast. Filing your report right away means more eyes see it while the trail is warm, and your description gets into the right hands before the item moves on or gets misplaced. Once you've reported, you can step back and let our team handle the legwork.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Pinole can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling calls to the police, checking WestCAT's lost and found, posting in neighborhood groups, and monitoring social media all at once. The local systems don't talk to each other, and without a single, persistent record, your lost item fades from public attention within days.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report, and we handle the routing to Pinole Police, transit services, and community channels. Better yet, your report doesn't disappear after a week; it stays active and keeps searching for a match throughout your search window, so you can focus on your day knowing the effort continues behind the scenes.

Common questions
How long do police keep lost items?
Pinole Police holds lost and found items for a standard period before disposal. Check with the department directly at 510-724-8950 for current holding times, but don't wait to report; the sooner your report is filed, the sooner it reaches the person who found your item.
How long does WestCAT hold lost bus items?
WestCAT holds items for 30 days. Call their customer service at 510-724-3331 right away if you lost something on a bus.

Contact Pinole Animal Control at 925-646-2441 immediately, and notify Contra Costa Animal Services. Stray pets are held for a minimum of 3 business days, so speed matters. Register your pet on PawBoost and other lost pet databases for wider visibility.
Can I report a loss without calling the police directly?
Yes. ReportLost files the report on your behalf with the appropriate agencies, saving you multiple calls and ensuring consistent follow-up. You provide the details once, and we handle the rest.
What makes ReportLost different from just posting on Facebook or Nextdoor?
Social posts fade fast, and each platform shows a different audience. ReportLost centralizes your report, routes it to official agencies (so the police have it on record), and keeps your report active and searchable for 12 months. You get alerted the moment a match is found, rather than scrolling posts every day.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with Pinole Police or the city. We file your report with the official agencies on your behalf and amplify it through community channels. An official police report is still the legal record, but we ensure the report gets filed and stays actively searched.
