How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Fill out a quick description of your lost item, where it went missing, and when. We capture all the details that matter.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Temple Sheriff's Station, Temple City Animal Control (if applicable), relevant lost & found desks, and community groups where locals actively post finds.
Your report keeps searching for you
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items, classifieds, and community posts. You get alerted the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing feeds every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Temple City
Here's what each service handles and how ReportLost connects them for you.
Temple Sheriff's Station
The Temple Sheriff's Station (serving Temple City via Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department) accepts lost property reports and can help you file if you believe a crime was involved. We let you know which precinct covers your specific loss location and prepare the details to include.
Temple City Hall
City Hall can direct you to municipal lost & found services and maintains records of items turned in at city facilities. We help you identify which city department should have your item and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Public Transit & Local Bus Lines
If you lost something on a Foothill Transit, Metro, or local bus serving Temple City, each carrier has its own lost & found process. We generate the exact bus details and contact info you'll need, and flag your report for active transit hubs.
Lost or Stray Pets
Temple City Animal Control and the Pasadena Humane Society's Lost & Found service are your first stop for missing pets. The Pasadena Humane serves Temple City and takes appointments 7 days a week. We'll guide you through both channels and help you file a priority lost pet report that goes straight to local animal networks.

The sooner you report, the better
Getting your lost item into circulation right away—especially during the first 24 to 48 hours—gives it the best chance. Once you've reported with us, you can breathe easy. Our team notifies the places that matter while your report stays active and searching.
Report my lost item →Temple City stretches across the San Gabriel Valley, and losing something here means tracking down multiple agencies, online groups, and local shops separately. The Sheriff's Station, Animal Control, transit companies, and community Facebook pages all handle finds independently, so a single lost item can fall through the cracks while you're juggling phone calls and tabs.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report reaches every relevant channel at once, and then your item description stays in active circulation for months while you move forward. Instead of spending weeks re-posting on social media or calling around, you file once and your search continues quietly in the background, alerting you only when something real comes up.
