You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you lost it in Tucson, and any details that make it unique. We collect the info once, precisely formatted.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Tucson Police, transit services, airport staff, and the community groups that search every day. You don't have to call each one.
Your report keeps searching for you

The sooner you report, the sooner we search
Every hour matters when something is lost, especially valuables or pets. File your report now and let our team start routing it to Tucson Police, transit services, the airport, and local community channels while you handle the immediate steps. Once your report is in the system, it continues searching automatically.
Report my lost item →Tucson spreads across a wide desert landscape, and losing something here means contacting multiple systems scattered across the city, from the Tucson Police Department's Property & Evidence Section on East Ohio Street to Sun Tran's Lost & Found, to airport terminals, to scattered Facebook groups and community boards. Each channel operates independently, and there's no single place where all found items flow together. If your wallet dropped on a bus or your phone slipped away at a local shop, you'd normally need to call multiple offices, post to several groups, and refresh them daily hoping for a match.
ReportLost bridges that gap. Instead of hunting through each service separately, you file one report and we make sure the right teams know about your loss, from day one. Better still, your report doesn't disappear after a week, it stays active, continually matched against new found items and local announcements, so you can move forward while the search continues for you.
