Report my lost item →

Roseville residents know how it happens: an item goes missing at the town's shops, parks, transit stops, or even at home, and suddenly you're juggling calls to the police department, checking multiple Facebook groups, scrolling through Nextdoor, and wondering if anyone has posted it on Craigslist. Each service operates separately, and you have to do the legwork to coordinate.

ReportLost simplifies that. One report goes to all the right channels at once, and then our automated monitoring takes over. While you go about your day, we're watching the entire Roseville community landscape for your item. The moment someone posts a found item that matches yours, you'll hear about it. No more daily searches, no more wondering if you missed something.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police department?

ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Roseville Police Department or any city agency. We don't replace the police, but we route your report to them and monitor the entire community ecosystem for matches, which the police department and individual services don't do alone. You're not required to use ReportLost, but it saves you time by coordinating across all channels and watching continuously on your behalf.
