How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Fill out a quick form describing your lost item, where you lost it in Sedona, and how to contact you. We gather the details we need to route your report to the right local channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Sedona Police Department, the Humane Society of Sedona (if it's a pet), relevant local businesses or venues, and gets posted to community social channels where people are actively looking and sharing found items.
Your report keeps searching for you
Instead of checking Facebook groups and calling around every day, your report stays active and keeps matching against new found posts, community announcements, and local listings for 12 months. We alert you the moment a credible match appears.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Sedona
Local channels and how ReportLost routes your report to each one
Sedona Police Department
The Sedona Police Department handles lost and found reports and can connect you with items turned in to their office. You can call them directly or stop by, but ReportLost files the report for you and tells you exactly which precinct covers your loss location.
City of Sedona
Sedona's City Hall and Visitor Center maintain lost and found items and are a central hub for reporting losses. The Visitor Center in particular logs items handed in by the community. When you report through ReportLost, we point you to the right desk and ensure your information reaches them.
Public Transit & Local Venues
If you lost an item on a bus, in a shop, or at a popular Sedona attraction, those venues often have their own lost and found systems. ReportLost generates the exact information you need to include and identifies which venues or services cover your loss area.
Lost Pet Report
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing in Sedona, the Humane Society of Sedona and the broader Verde Valley shelters are your first contacts. They maintain lost pet registries and work with community networks. Speed matters with pets, so file a priority lost pet report right away.

Report Your Loss and Get Moving
The sooner you report, the sooner your item enters the search network. Once you file your report, our team routes it to local services and your report keeps matching against found posts for months to come, giving your lost item every chance to find its way home.
Report my lost item →Sedona's stunning red rocks and outdoor recreation bring thousands of visitors and residents through the area every year, and it's easy to lose a wallet, keys, phone, or beloved pet in the shuffle of busy shops, trailheads, and community spaces. When that happens, the challenge isn't just finding the right person to contact, it's coordinating across the Sedona Police Department, local shelters, visitor centers, and scattered social media groups where found items surface.
ReportLost cuts through that complexity. You file one report, and we handle the routing to local police, shelters, and community channels. Then your report stays active and keeps searching for a match, so you don't have to refresh Facebook groups or revisit lost and found desks every week. Once you report it, you can focus on your day while we work behind the scenes.
