Where to Report and Claim Lost Items in Yreka
Use these resources yourself, or let ReportLost coordinate for you
Yreka Police Department
The Yreka Police Department runs the city's official lost and found office and handles lost property claims. They're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We'll generate the exact information you need to include and make sure your report reaches their Records Department so it doesn't get lost in the system.
Siskiyou County Animal Control & Shelter
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, the animal shelter at 525 Foothill Drive holds strays for a minimum of five business days. They're open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. When you file with us, we make sure your lost pet description reaches both the shelter and Yreka Police Dispatch immediately. For a priority search, file a priority lost pet report.
STAGE (Siskiyou Transit)
If you left your item on a STAGE bus, contact their office right away. Items don't stay in their lost and found indefinitely. We can help you identify which route and submit the claim details correctly.
Siskiyou County Airport
The small regional airport serves Yreka. If you lost something at the airport, call their main number to check their lost and found. We'll help you provide the right flight or terminal information.
Yreka City Hall
City Hall at 701 Fourth Street is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They can point you toward department-specific resources or help with property lost on city property. We'll tell you which department covers your situation.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
Lost items move fast. Getting your report filed and routed to Yreka Police, the animal shelter, and local channels within hours (not days) makes a real difference. Once you've reported, you can breathe, our team keeps the search alive for you.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or cherished item in Yreka can feel isolating, especially when police, animal control, local shops, and Facebook groups operate separately. It's easy to miss a match when you're juggling multiple channels and can't check them all constantly.
ReportLost cuts through the complexity. One report from you, and our team handles routing it to the Yreka Police Department, Siskiyou County Animal Control, and the community groups where locals post found items. Your report stays active for months, automatically searching for a match, so the moment someone posts your lost ring or pet online, you're notified, not the other way around.
