Understanding the local landscape helps. Here's where to report, and what ReportLost does to save you the steps.

Town Hall handles general inquiries and can direct you to the right department depending on where you lost your item. We can help you frame your question and identify which office to contact first.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we can help.
Filing your report early gives you the best odds of a match. Once your report is filed, our team takes over the routing and ongoing search, so you can breathe easy knowing every relevant channel and community network in Sunnyvale has your information.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Sunnyvale means navigating several separate systems: the Police Department's lost property logs, Animal Services if it's a pet, local Facebook groups, and individual business lost-and-founds. Each channel works independently, and if you miss a post or forget to follow up, a match might slip through.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report, and we route it to the official channels and community networks in Sunnyvale that actually find and return items. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you submit it. It stays active, continuously cross-referencing new found posts and alerts with your description, so a potential match can reach you even weeks or months later, without you having to check every group or website yourself.
