Where Items Turn Up in Redondo Beach
Understanding the local recovery ecosystem
Redondo Beach Police Department
The Police Department's Property & Evidence unit holds found items at 401 Diamond Street. They're open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We file your report with them and confirm what information they need to flag your item when it arrives. You can also call them directly at (310) 697-3454, though our team ensures your paperwork is complete before submission.
Beach Cities Transit
If you lost something on a Beach Cities Transit bus, the Transit & Visitor Information Center handles lost and found claims. Reach them at (310) 802-7686 or (310) 371-5200, available 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. We help you describe your item precisely and monitor their system for updates so you're not checking in every few days.
City Hall & Community Services
Redondo Beach City Hall, located at 415 Diamond Street, can direct you to specialized services or provide guidance on recovering lost property depending on where you lost it. Main line is (310) 372-1171. We know which department to loop in and handle the handoff, saving you the transfer calls.
LAX (Los Angeles International Airport)
If you lost something at LAX, about 30 minutes north, the Airport Police Division runs a dedicated Lost and Found office. Call (424) 273-7266 or (310) 646-2911. We can submit your report and check their inventory while you focus on rebooking or resting. Note: Long Beach Airport (LGB) and Ontario International are also nearby alternatives.
Lost Pets
Redondo Beach Animal Services reunites lost and stray animals with owners. Contact them through the Police Department's Animal Services line. For broader reach, spcaLA's South Bay Pet Adoption Center can be reached at (310) 220-2978 by appointment. Active Facebook groups and Nextdoor communities share lost pet alerts constantly. If you've lost a pet, file a priority lost pet report so we can amplify your search across all channels instantly.

The Sooner You Report, the Better Your Odds
The first 48 to 72 hours are critical for items left in public places or on transit. Once you've filed with ReportLost, the ball is in motion immediately: we contact the right authorities, we seed your details into community channels, and our monitoring kicks in. You can breathe easier knowing the groundwork is done, while we stay alert on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Redondo Beach means contacting multiple places separately: the police, local transit if it was on a bus, animal services if it's a pet, and then crossing your fingers while checking social media yourself. The systems don't talk to each other, and neither do you, bouncing from one office to another.
ReportLost flattens that process. You file once, and we coordinate with the Redondo Beach Police Department, Beach Cities Transit, and every active community channel in the area. Then we keep watching for you, scanning new posts and marketplace listings continuously so that if your item turns up anywhere online, you'll know the moment it does.

Do I need to physically go to the police station to file a report?
You can file a report by phone or online through ReportLost, which then coordinates with the Police Department on your behalf. The police station is at 401 Diamond Street if you prefer to visit in person. We handle the paperwork submission so you don't have to make multiple trips.
How does ReportLost monitor social media and community groups for my item?
Our automated system performs repeated searches across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Reddit, marketplace listings, and other public web sources using your item description, location, and date lost. When a potential match is found, we send you an alert so you can follow up immediately. This saves you from refreshing ten different pages every day.

Our monitoring includes major marketplaces and platforms. When we detect a post that matches your item, we notify you with a direct link and suggested next steps for contacting the seller safely.
Is ReportLost.org official, and does it replace filing a police report?
ReportLost is an independent service that simplifies the reporting process and amplifies your search across multiple channels. We file your information with official authorities like the Redondo Beach Police Department, but we don't replace them. You have the option to file independently as well. Our added value is the automatic monitoring and coordination, so you're not juggling phone calls and website checks yourself.
