Report my lost item →Losing something in Pleasanton can feel scattered. Items left on the bus, in a downtown shop, at the library, or on the trails each require a separate search: checking with Pleasanton Police, calling Wheels or County Connection, posting to local Facebook groups. Meanwhile, someone else might have found your item and posted it online, but you'd have to monitor Nextdoor and community pages every single day to spot it.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. One report, filed once, gets distributed to Pleasanton Police and all relevant local services, and then our monitoring team works continuously to match your loss with 'found' posts across social media, local listings, and community channels. Once you've made your report, you can stop worrying; we handle the search.
