Where to report in Paradise Valley
These are the official channels—and we can file with all of them for you.
Paradise Valley Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost property log and can check unclaimed items. If you lost something locally, they're your first official contact. We route your report directly to their non-emergency line and generate the exact details they need.
Town of Paradise Valley
The Town Hall complex coordinates with local services and can direct you to the right department or verify where an item may have been turned in. We notify Town Hall on your behalf so your loss is on their radar.
Phoenix Sky Harbor Lost & Found
If you lost something at the airport, near TSA checkpoints, or at the terminal, Sky Harbor's Lost & Found is the place to check. We know the exact office and phone line to contact based on where you lost your item.
Phoenix Public Transit (Valley Metro)
If you lost something on a bus or at a transit station, Valley Metro's Lost & Found can search their records and help you track it down. We tell you which depot serves your route and how to provide the right details for a quick match.
Lost or found a pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Paradise Valley, contact the Arizona Humane Society, Arizona Pet Line, or check community pet networks immediately. Pets need urgent visibility across the right channels. File a priority lost pet report to activate our dedicated pet search process.

The sooner you report, the better
Items move quickly, and the first hours matter most. Filing your report early gives you the best chance of recovery, and once it's in the system, you can rest knowing your report is actively searching—no need to chase leads yourself.
Report my lost item →Paradise Valley is an upscale residential community just north of Phoenix, and losing something valuable here means navigating multiple channels: the Police Department, local businesses, Sky Harbor if you were traveling, and scattered community posts. Each service operates separately, so your lost wallet, ring, or beloved pet can slip through the cracks between them.
ReportLost takes the confusion out of searching. One report reaches all the right places at once, and then your signaling stays active for months, automatically cross-checking new found items and alerts so you're not refreshing Facebook groups or calling around every morning. You report once, and the search keeps working for you.
Common places people lose things in Paradise Valley
If you remember where it happened, it helps us route your report to the right police precinct and local business.
Lincoln Drive corridor
The main thoroughfare running through town, home to shops, services, and Town Hall—a common route where wallets, phones, and keys go missing.
Doubletree Ranch and residential neighborhoods
The quiet, tree-lined streets where locals live and walk—pets often go missing here, and items are sometimes dropped near home.
Sky Harbor approach and airport grounds
If you were traveling or heading to the airport, this is where luggage, rings, and travel documents are frequently left.
Local shops and dining

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Paradise Valley Police Department keep lost property?
Police typically hold unclaimed items for 30 to 90 days before disposal, depending on the item's nature. This is why reporting early matters—your report activates a search that continues even after the initial holding period, cross-checking donations, resale channels, and community posts.
What if I lost something at Sky Harbor? Do I contact the airport or TSA?
It depends on where you lost it. Items left at TSA security checkpoints go to the TSA Lost & Found (Level 7, Terminal 3); items left elsewhere at the airport go to the main Lost & Found (ground level). We know the right desk to contact based on your description.
Can I file a lost pet report if I'm not sure where my pet went?
Yes. Even if your pet wandered from your yard, went missing during travel, or disappeared from a specific neighborhood, file immediately. The Arizona Humane Society and Arizona Pet Line reach shelters and rescues across the region. Pets are time-sensitive, and community visibility matters enormously.
Does Valley Metro check buses after hours if I lost something late at night?
Valley Metro's Lost & Found operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you lost something after hours, report it the next business day. Our system notifies them and keeps your report active if the item resurfaces.
What happens if someone finds my item but doesn't report it to the police?
This is exactly why your report stays active for months. Many found items end up on Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or community groups rather than the police. Your active report continuously matches your description against new posts, so when someone posts "found a gold ring near Lincoln Drive," we can alert you—no daily checking required.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service; we're not the police, and we don't replace official reporting. We're a coordinator: we file your report with the Paradise Valley Police Department, local lost & found offices, and community channels all at once, then keep your signaling active and searching for longer than you could manage alone. You're always working with the official systems—we just make sure they all know about your loss and keep searching.
