How it works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it in Rodeo. We gather the details we need and generate a complete report tailored to local channels.
We notify the right places
Your report goes to the Rodeo-Hercules Police Department, Contra Costa Animal Services (if applicable), County Connection transit, and local community groups, all at once.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report remains active and cross-checks new found items posted by residents, businesses, and community channels, so you don't have to check manually every day.
Where lost items end up in Rodeo
Each place handles lost property differently. We coordinate the outreach for you.
Rodeo-Hercules Police Department
The primary local law enforcement office handles lost property reports. If you've lost an item at a local business or public place in Rodeo, this is where official lost and found reports are filed. We confirm which precinct covers your loss location and ensure your report reaches their records.
County Connection Transit
Lost something on a County Connection bus serving Rodeo? Items are held for 30 days. Call their customer service line to check on your item. We provide you with the exact details they'll need and follow up on your behalf.

Rodeo residents also connect through local lost pet Facebook groups and PawBoost. Speed matters with pets. File a priority lost pet report to activate our urgent pet recovery protocol across shelters and community networks.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Filing a report early improves the odds that your lost wallet, purse, or phone is still where it was left or in the hands of an honest finder. Once you've submitted your report to ReportLost, the process kicks in immediately. You've done your part; let our team and the local network take it from here.
Report my lost item →In a waterfront community like Rodeo, losing a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet means contacting multiple services scattered across Contra Costa County. The police handle lost property reports, transit companies maintain separate lost and found offices, the animal shelter keeps animals for just three business days, and community members post on Facebook and local groups. Without a central hub, your lost item can slip through the cracks while you're spending hours calling and searching.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One form, one submission, and your report reaches all the right places at once. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after you file it. It stays active for your entire search period, automatically comparing new found posts and alerts against your description, so the moment someone reports finding your ring, your bracelet, or your missing dog on the Bay Trail or near the water, you get notified. You can breathe while we keep looking.
