How ReportLost works for Catalina residents
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to local law enforcement and community search channels.
We route it to the right places

For your entire search period, your report automatically matches against new posts, found announcements, and local activity. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can follow up without checking groups yourself.

The key places people report finds, and how ReportLost reaches them all
Pima County Sheriff's Department
If you've lost property in Catalina, the Sheriff's Department is your first official stop. They record lost and found reports at the Catalina office. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and ensure your report reaches them directly.
Lost Pet Networks
Pets are found quickly in Catalina when you reach the right rescuers. The Pima Animal Care Center and local Facebook groups like 'Lost & Found Animals Catalina, Oracle, San Manuel' connect with residents and shelters across the area. We make sure your pet report gets to these networks and stays active throughout your search. If you've lost a cat or dog, file a priority lost pet report to get faster routing to rescue and shelter channels.

Tucson International Airport
If you lost something at TUS or on a flight connection, the airport's Lost and Found office holds items for 30 days. Contact the Tucson Airport Authority or your airline directly, and we can point you to the right desk so you ask for exactly what was turned in.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
Many finds end up at the front desk of the Catalina Community Center, local shops, restaurants, or the Catalina State Park office. Residents also post 'found item' notices on Nextdoor and Facebook. We cross-reference found posts against your report automatically.
