How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details in one form, so you only describe it once.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Santa Rosa Police Department, the relevant city departments, and local community channels. No guessing which office handles what.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
Our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local marketplaces, and the broader web every day for 12 months, looking for posts that match your item. You get an alert the moment we spot something credible, so you can follow up.
Where to report in Santa Rosa
The main places to contact, plus what ReportLost does for you:
Santa Rosa Police Department
The police accept reports on lost property and maintain a lost & found database. You can call the non-emergency line during business hours to ask if your item has been turned in, or file an online report through their system. We notify them right away and direct you to the exact department and contact person who handles your case.
Non-emergency line: 707-528-5222|File an online report|Police contact info
City of Santa Rosa
City Hall coordinates with various departments that handle lost items in public spaces, parks, and city facilities. Reaching the right desk can be tricky, so we help you identify which city office is most relevant to where you lost your item and provide the direct contact details.
Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport
If you lost an item at the airport, the Lost & Found office and TSA can help. We can pinpoint which terminal or checkpoint area your loss occurred and provide the right phone number to call. Items held at TSA security are typically kept for 30 days, so timing matters.

Lost or Found Pet
Sonoma County Animal Services and the Humane Society of Sonoma County both hold stray and found animals. The sooner you report your lost pet, the better, and we make sure they know to look for it and can describe it accurately. If you've found a pet, we help get it safely reported. For a faster response and additional pet-focused resources, file a priority lost pet report.

Start the process right now
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner we can begin monitoring and alerting you. It takes just a few minutes to tell us what happened, and then our team takes over.
Report my lost item →Santa Rosa spreads across multiple neighborhoods, from downtown to the surrounding wine country. Losing something valuable—wallet, keys, phone, pet—can feel overwhelming when you don't know which police desk to contact, which shelter to call, or where to post to reach locals. The city's services aren't connected, so you end up phoning the police department, then the county animal shelter, then hunting through Facebook groups yourself.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File your report once, and we handle the routing and the ongoing search. Our system stays alert to local lost & found posts, marketplace listings, and community channels so you can move forward while we work behind the scenes.

What if I lost my item in a specific Santa Rosa neighborhood or on the street?
Tell us the exact location (downtown, near a store, a park, etc.). We'll route your report to the relevant police precinct or city department. For items lost in retail spaces, we also recommend contacting the store manager directly; many keep a lost & found desk.

We monitor public channels, marketplaces, and community posts for 12 months. Our automated system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local classifieds, and other platforms regularly, so you don't have to check every day. You'll get an alert if we spot a credible match.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the Santa Rosa Police Department or any government agency. We work alongside official channels: we submit your report to the right police desk, city services, and local organizations, and then add persistent monitoring that those entities alone cannot provide. Filing a report with us does not replace calling the police directly, but it ensures your item gets registered and actively searched for months afterward.
