How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed and confirm which local services cover your area.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Topanga Community Police Station, relevant transit authorities, community groups, and local lost & found desks. No more making phone calls yourself.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against found items posted to local Facebook groups, community networks, and public databases. You get an alert the moment a match surfaces.
Where to Report & What ReportLost Does for You
Topanga spans parts of LA County. Here's what each local resource covers, and how we simplify the process.
Topanga Community Police Station (LAPD)
The main police station for the Topanga area. They handle reports of lost or found property and keep records. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location, fill in the correct precinct number and case type, and make sure your report lands in their system.
LA Metro & Local Transit
If you lost something on the Metro bus system or Foothill Transit, items go to the central Lost & Found office. We gather the route number and time, and contact the right transit authority on your behalf.

Westfield Topanga
The major shopping destination in the area. Items left in stores or common areas go to the security office. We provide you the exact info and location to check, or can note it in your report if you'd rather we flag it for you.
Lost Pet Networks
If your dog, cat, or other pet has gone missing in Topanga, local animal shelters, rescue groups, and community networks are your best resource. We connect your report to these channels and keep searching across shelter databases and social networks. File a priority lost pet report for dedicated pet-finding support.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Items found in transit, stores, and public spaces often move quickly through lost & found systems. A report filed today means we start searching today. Once it's in, you can step back, and our active matching takes over.
Report my lost item →Topanga's mix of canyon roads, community spaces, shopping centers, and transit routes means a lost wallet, ring, phone, or pet can end up anywhere from the Topanga Police Station area to Westfield Topanga to one of several local transit stops. The challenge: these places don't talk to each other. You'd have to call the police non-emergency number, check the shopping center security office, post on Facebook groups yourself, and then check back every day hoping someone found your item.
ReportLost cuts through that friction. One report takes you out of the daily search loop. We notify the right local channels in Topanga and the wider LA area, and your report stays active, automatically cross-checking community posts and lost & found notices for matches, so you don't have to.
