How ReportLost Works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to notify the right agencies and community channels in Stockton.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Stockton Police Department's lost & found, relevant transit or business lost & found offices, and gets posted to active Stockton community groups and local social channels.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
For 12 months, we scan marketplaces, community posts, shelter databases, and local social media to spot posts matching your description. You get an alert the moment we find a credible lead, so you're not checking Facebook groups and classifieds every day.

The sooner you report, the better your chances

Report my lost item →Losing something in Stockton can feel overwhelming. Whether it's a phone left on an RTD bus, a pet who slipped away in downtown, or belongings misplaced at a local business, you're suddenly juggling multiple phone calls, websites, and Facebook groups. The Stockton Police Department, Animal Services, RTD Customer Service, and various community channels all operate separately, which means you have to contact each one yourself and keep tabs on them for weeks.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report gets routed to all the right Stockton agencies and local channels at once. Then our team takes over the heavy lifting: we post alerts where locals will see them, and we run automated searches across the web continuously so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing group feeds. Once your report is filed, you can breathe easy while we work in the background.
