How ReportLost Works
You Submit Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include any details that help identify your item, wallet, or pet. We gather the exact information needed for each agency.
We Distribute It Everywhere
Your report goes directly to the Nogales Police Department, relevant local lost & found groups on Facebook, the Nogales International Airport if applicable, and animal services if a pet is involved. No phone tag, no missed channels.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against newly posted found items, marketplace listings, and shelter updates. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check social media and websites every day.

The Sooner You Report, the Better
Acting quickly gives you the best chance. Once your report is filed, our team takes over the coordination, and your search doesn't stop after a week or two—it continues for months. That peace of mind is worth filing now.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Nogales spreads your problem across several agencies: the police department handles the report, the humane society watches for pets, the airport has its own lost & found, and community Facebook groups operate independently. Calling each one, repeating your story, and then monitoring them separately takes hours you don't have.
ReportLost cuts through that friction. File once, and we route your loss to every channel that might reunite you with your wallet, ring, phone, cat, or dog. Better yet, your report doesn't go silent after a day or two, it stays active and searching for a full 12 months, automatically cross-checking new posts and found items so you can move forward knowing the search continues.

Police typically hold lost property for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item. After that, unclaimed goods may be disposed of or auctioned. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, so even if your item surfaces later through other channels, we're still matching and alerting you.

Is ReportLost.org an official agency, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official agencies, not instead of them. We file your report with the Nogales Police Department, the Humane Society, the airport, and community channels on your behalf, then keep your report active and searching for matches over time. You still own your report and can follow up directly with any agency, but we handle the coordination and ongoing search so you don't have to.
