Frequently asked questions about lost items in Anthem
How long does Maricopa County Sheriff hold a lost item after it's turned in?
Sheriff's office policies typically hold items for a period of weeks to a few months, though this can vary. Check with their non-emergency line at 602-876-1011 for specifics on your item. ReportLost keeps your report active much longer, continuing to match against new found posts even after local holdings expire.
What should I include when I file a report with Anthem Community Council?
Have ready a detailed description (color, size, brand, distinctive marks), the exact location where you lost it, the date and time, and any identifying numbers or photos. We generate this information for you and point you to the right desk at their office.
How quickly can I check if something has been turned into Valley Metro's lost & found?
Call 602-534-5053 between 8 am and 4 pm, Monday through Friday. Have your bus route and approximate time ready. Items may take a day or two to be logged into their system after being turned in by another passenger.
Can I file a report for a lost item at Sky Harbor even if I'm not sure which terminal?
Yes, call 602-273-3333 or email lostandfound@phoenix.gov with as much detail as you remember. Sky Harbor's office will search across terminals and coordinate with TSA. Your report with us stays active to match against items across all Phoenix-area channels.
Do I need to visit these offices in person, or can I report over the phone?
Most lost item reports can be filed by phone or online these days. ReportLost handles the phone calls and routing for you, so you submit once to us and we contact each office on your behalf. If you prefer to report directly, Anthem Community Council is open Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police and community services?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of any government agency. We don't replace the police or official lost & found offices, we complement them. When you report with us, we immediately contact the right local services (Sheriff's Office, Community Council, transit, and social channels) on your behalf, and your report stays active in the background to catch matches over time. You're always free to report directly to any office yourself.
