How ReportLost works in Stanton
You file one report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right people.
We route it to Stanton's services
Your report goes to the Orange County Sheriff's Department (Stanton Station), City Hall, transit lost & found, and relevant community groups, so you don't have to call each one.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report continues to match against new found items, marketplace posts, and community alerts. You get notified if a match appears, so you're not refreshing sites every day.
Where items turn up in Stanton
Here's what to do if you want to search independently, but ReportLost handles all of this for you.
Orange County Sheriff's Department (Stanton Station)
The Stanton Station handles lost and found reports for the city. You can file a report yourself, but we'll know which precinct covers your loss location and get the details to them directly.
Stanton Station: 11100 Cedar Street, (714) 647-7000 (non-emergency)
City of Stanton City Hall
City Hall can point you to local lost and found resources and may have information on items left at public facilities. We can generate the exact information you need to include when you contact them.
City Hall: 7800 Katella Ave, (714) 379-9222, Mon–Thu 7am–6pm
Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) Lost & Found
If you lost something on a bus or at a transit stop, OCTA maintains a lost and found inventory. Items typically take 2–3 business days to appear in the system. We'll alert them for you.
Lost Pet Reports
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Stanton, time matters. Community groups and shelters move fast, and your pet needs immediate visibility. File a priority lost pet report and we'll get your pet's information to local shelters, rescue networks, and pet alert groups within hours.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Every hour counts when something is lost. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, you can take a breath—we've notified the right people and your search continues automatically for months to come.
Report my lost item →Stanton is a bustling community in Orange County, and it's easy to misplace something in a busy moment, whether at a coffee shop on Katella Avenue, during a shopping trip, or on local transit. The challenge is that lost items end up scattered across different services: the Sheriff's Department, City Hall, Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA), and dozens of community groups and online posts.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. Instead of chasing down each agency and refreshing Facebook groups for weeks, you file one report with us. We contact the key local services and post to active community channels, then keep your report searching automatically while you move on with your life. If someone finds your item and reports it, you'll hear about it right away.
