How ReportLost works for Sun City
You file one report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to the right offices here in Sun City.
We route it to the people who can help
Your report reaches the Sun City Posse, Phoenix Police Department Property Bureau, Valley Metro Lost & Found if transit is involved, and Sky Harbor if your loss happened at the airport. We handle the coordination.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues matching against new found items, lost & found posts, and community listings across Sun City and the Phoenix area. You'll get an alert if a credible match appears, so you never miss it.
Where to report and what ReportLost handles for you
From the Sun City Posse to Phoenix Police to the airport, here's what channels exist and how we simplify claiming your item.
Sun City Posse & Police
The Sun City Posse is a community volunteer organization that patrols Sun City and supports residents. For lost property involving police or crime, you may also file a report with the Phoenix Police Department Property Management Bureau. We tell you which office is right for your situation and what details to include.
Valley Metro Bus
Forgot something on a Valley Metro bus in the Sun City area? Valley Metro's Lost & Found team holds items and can help you retrieve them. We'll make sure your report reaches them with all the route and date details they need.
Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport
If your loss happened at the airport, the TSA Lost & Found office in Terminal 3 or the airport's main Lost & Found can help. We generate the exact information to include and point you to the right desk or phone line.
Sun City Community Services
For items lost at a Sun City recreation center, community event, or city property, the Sun City Posse office and Sun City government can help. We direct your report to the right local coordinator.
Lost pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Sun City, time and visibility matter enormously. Local pet groups and shelters in the Phoenix area are your first call, and community alerts work fast. File a priority lost pet report with us and we'll amplify your search across the channels that matter most.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Don't navigate this alone
The sooner you file, the sooner your item enters all these channels at once. Once your report is submitted, our team takes it from there, and you can focus on your day while we coordinate the search.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Sun City means navigating separate lost & found channels, from the Sun City Posse to Phoenix Police, from Valley Metro buses to Sky Harbor Airport, each with its own office hours and process. If you lost something at a local business or community center, there's another call to make. It's fragmented, and the longer you wait, the easier it is for your item to slip away.
ReportLost cuts through that friction. File once, and we notify all the right offices and monitor for matches continuously, so your report is still working for you weeks or months later, even while you move on with your day. Instead of checking Facebook groups and calling back every few days, one active report does the legwork.

The Sun City Posse office and local police typically hold found property for a limited time, usually 30 to 90 days depending on the item and circumstances. It's important to file a report and claim your item as soon as possible. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months so you have a better chance of a match if your item resurfaces.

Can I file a police report for a lost item in Sun City?
A police report is typically filed if your item was stolen or lost under suspicious circumstances. For general lost items, contact the Sun City Posse first. The Phoenix Police Department Property Management Bureau can also be reached at (602) 261-8371 (Tues–Fri, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.) to inquire or claim found property.
Is ReportLost.org official, and does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that helps you notify the right lost & found offices and keeps your report active across multiple channels. We do not replace the police or official lost & found offices. We coordinate on your behalf and keep your report searching for matches continuously. For stolen items or crimes, you should always file an official police report separately.
