How ReportLost works
You report what you've lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. We gather the details that matter for filing with local authorities and posting to community channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the San Jacinto Police Department, Riverside County Animal Services (if it's a pet), local Facebook groups, and Nextdoor. We handle the coordination so you don't have to contact each one separately.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and keeps matching against new found items posted to local channels, community pages, and marketplaces. You'll get an alert as soon as a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing sites every day.
Where to report a lost item in San Jacinto
These are the key places and channels. ReportLost coordinates with them on your behalf.
San Jacinto Police Department
File a lost property report with the non-emergency line. They record the details and keep it on file. We generate the exact information you'll need and tell you which desk to contact.
City Hall
San Jacinto City Hall can direct you to the right department or help with items lost in municipal buildings or public spaces. We point you to the exact office that handles your situation.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, the Riverside County Animal Services San Jacinto location is your first call. They hold found animals and can check against lost reports. For a faster, more comprehensive approach, file a priority lost pet report with us.

Report my lost item →Losing something in San Jacinto can feel overwhelming, especially when you have to separately contact the police non-emergency line, check the animal shelter if it's a pet, hunt through Facebook groups, and monitor Nextdoor posts by yourself. The systems don't talk to each other, so it's easy to fall through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies that whole process. One report reaches the right channels at once, and then your report keeps working for you in the background, matching your lost item against new posts and announcements for months. You can focus on your day knowing someone is actively connecting the dots.

Frequently asked questions
How long will my report stay active with ReportLost?
Your report remains active for your entire search period, either 12 months depending on the option you choose. During that time, your report continuously matches against new found items posted to local channels, Facebook groups, and community boards.
What if I lost my pet in San Jacinto?
Contact Riverside County Animal Services at (951) 358-PETS (7387) immediately. They hold found animals for a set period and can cross-reference your lost report. For faster, wider coverage, file a priority lost pet report with us and we'll also post to pet-specific channels and social networks.
Do I still need to call the police if I use ReportLost?
We handle filing the report with the San Jacinto Police Department on your behalf and coordinate with other local channels. However, if your item involves theft or criminal activity, you may want to file a separate police report directly. We'll guide you on what's needed.
How quickly does Riverside County Animal Services check for lost pets?
They typically log new animals within 24 hours and hold them for several days to weeks depending on circumstance. Call them at (951) 358-PETS to ask about holding periods and to report your pet missing. The sooner you report, the better.
Can I search for my lost item myself on local sites?
Yes, you can manually check Nextdoor, Facebook groups, and PawBoost (for pets). But that means checking multiple sites every day, which most people don't have time for. ReportLost keeps doing that work for you across all channels, so you get an alert the moment a match shows up.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that coordinates on your behalf with official channels like the San Jacinto Police Department and Riverside County Animal Services. We're not a government agency, but we work with them and post to community networks to maximize your chances of recovery. For serious theft or incidents, you can always file directly with police at (951) 654-2702.
