How It Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We generate a clear description ready to share with police and local channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the San Marino Police Department, city services, relevant lost and found offices, and community groups actively looking for lost items.
Your report keeps searching for you
Once filed, your report stays active and matches new found items, marketplace posts, and community announcements against your description. You get alerted if a credible match appears, without having to check every day.
Where to Report & What ReportLost Does
San Marino has several places to file a loss report. ReportLost coordinates with all of them, saving you phone calls and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
San Marino Police Department
The San Marino Police Department is your first official stop for lost item reports and theft claims. They maintain records and can file a report if your loss involves theft or fraud. We identify your precinct and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
City of San Marino City Hall
City Hall coordinates with municipal services and can direct you to the right department if your lost item relates to a specific city location or service. We help you know which city office handles items lost in particular places.
Local Retailers & Public Spaces
San Marino has shops, restaurants, parks, and other gathering spots where people regularly turn in found wallets, phones, purses, and accessories. Calling directly often works, but it takes multiple calls. We generate the exact information and details to include when you reach out.
Lost Pet Resources
If you've lost a cat or dog, multiple shelters and pet networks in the Los Angeles County area search by breed, color, and location. Response speed matters for pets. File a priority lost pet report to activate dedicated pet search channels.

The sooner your loss is reported, the sooner all channels begin looking. Filing your report now means your description is live within minutes, and active searches begin today.
Report my lost item →San Marino is a close-knit community, but losing something valuable, like a wallet, ring, or beloved pet, can feel urgent and isolating. Police, city services, Facebook groups, and local shelters each maintain separate systems, and doing the rounds yourself takes time you may not have.
ReportLost simplifies the search by filing a single, permanent report that connects to all the right channels at once. Once your item is reported, the system continues working for you for 12 months, automatically cross-checking new found items and community posts without asking you to refresh your search every morning.
