Where to Report & How We Help
St. Helena has several places to file a lost item report. Here's what each one handles, and how ReportLost simplifies the process.
St. Helena Police Department
The police department takes lost item reports and holds found items for a set period. Call their non-emergency dispatch line to file a report or check if your item has been turned in. We route your report directly to them and confirm they have your details.
Lost & Found Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, the Napa County Animal Shelter is your first contact. They maintain a registry of missing and found pets and can check if someone's reported a sighting. We make sure your lost pet report reaches them immediately and stays active so that when a match appears, you're notified. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost for faster coordination.
St. Helena Shuttle
If you left something on a local shuttle or bus, contact the shuttle directly for same-day pickup or to file a lost item claim. We can help you pinpoint which service route you were on and provide the exact contact details you need.
City Hall
St. Helena City Hall can sometimes hold lost items temporarily and direct you to the right department. They're open weekdays and we can provide you with the right contact or help you know when to call.
