How ReportLost works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right places in Santa Clarita.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Sheriff's Station, City Hall, Santa Clarita Transit (if applicable), and local lost & found networks. You don't have to call around.
Automated monitoring finds matches
For weeks or months, we scan social media, Craigslist, local Facebook groups, and other channels for posts about found items matching your description. You get an alert as soon as we spot a credible match.
Where to report a lost item in Santa Clarita
These are the main channels to contact. ReportLost handles routing and monitoring for you.
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station
For items lost in public or reported as stolen, the Sheriff's Station is your first official contact. They maintain records and can assist with loss reports. We tell you which precinct covers your location and prepare the details to include.
Station contact: (661) 260-4000|Visit 26201 Golden Valley Road
Santa Clarita City Hall
If your item was lost at a city facility or in a municipal area, City Hall can help you report it and check their lost & found. We generate the information you'll need when you call.
Santa Clarita Transit Lost & Found
Left something on a bus or at a transit stop? Santa Clarita Transit holds found items and you can call to check if yours has been turned in. We point you to the exact process so you know what to say when you call.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, time matters. Santa Clarita Valley has an active animal shelter and a dedicated lost pet community. Report to Animal Care and Control and post in local groups right away. For the fastest response, file a priority lost pet report with us so we monitor pet networks and shelters on your behalf.
LAX (if traveling)
If you lost something at or while flying from LAX, contact the Airport Police Division's Lost & Found. Items at TSA checkpoints and aircraft are handled differently, so clarity on where you lost it helps.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your chances
Once you've filed your report with us, the legwork is done. We contact the right local departments, post to community channels, and then monitor continuously. Most items that are found are claimed within the first few weeks, so getting the word out early helps.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Santa Clarita can feel frustrating when you're not sure where to start. The Sheriff's Station, City Hall, transit, and community groups all handle reports separately, so you end up making multiple calls and checking different places. ReportLost cuts through that by filing your report once and routing it to all the right channels at once.
The real advantage is what happens after you report: our system keeps watch on the web for you. Instead of refreshing Craigslist, Facebook lost & found groups, and community posts every day, you can go about your life. We'll notify you the moment someone posts that they've found something matching your loss. It's like having a dedicated team searching while you sleep.
