We route it to the right places

Your report reaches the Yuma Police Department, YCAT Bus Facility, Yuma International Airport, and other relevant local services. You won't have to call multiple agencies.

We monitor the web for matches

Our system scans Yuma-area Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local community boards, and marketplaces for 6 to 12 months. When a credible match appears, we alert you immediately, so you can focus on life while we keep looking.

Time matters, but you're not alone.

The sooner you report a loss, the better your chances of recovery. Once you've filed with ReportLost, you've done the hard part. Our team handles the routing and ongoing search while you focus on other things.

Report my lost item โ†’

Losing something in Yuma can feel isolating. Whether it happened at the airport, on the bus, downtown, or somewhere in between, the city's lost and found services are scattered across different departments and offices. Without a central system, most people end up calling each office separately, posting on multiple Facebook groups, and refreshing searches daily.

ReportLost simplifies that. One report to us, and we notify the police, transit authority, airport, and other key agencies. Better still, our team monitors local social channels, community networks, and the public web automatically for months, alerting you the moment a genuine match is spotted. You report once, then let us do the daily searching so you can move forward with confidence.

Questions about losing and recovering items in Yuma

How long does the police department hold found items?

The Yuma Police Department's found property unit holds items for a period determined by department policy. We recommend inquiring at (928) 373-4775 or checking their found property page for current retention timelines, especially for valuable items.

Can I pick up a lost item from YCAT outside of office hours?

YCAT's lost and found is only open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM at the Bus Facility (2715 East 14th Street). If you find an item after hours, note the route number and call during business hours to confirm pickup details.

What if I lost something on an airplane at Yuma International Airport?

Report it first to the airport's lost and found at (928) 726-5882. If the item was on the aircraft itself, you'll need to contact the specific airline (American Airlines and other carriers have their own processes). ReportLost can help you file with the airport and advise you on the airline next steps.

Where do I report a lost pet in Yuma?

Contact the Humane Society of Yuma at (928) 782-1621 or Animal Control at (928) 373-4795 (City) or (928) 783-4427 (County). Post on the Yuma Lost and Found Pets Facebook group and PawBoost immediately. ReportLost can help coordinate all these reports and monitor local pet networks continuously.

How do I know if someone found my item and posted it online?

That's where ReportLost makes a real difference. We scan Yuma-area Facebook groups, Nextdoor, marketplace listings, and community boards repeatedly over months, looking for posts that match your item's description, location, and timeframe. When a credible match surfaces, we alert you so you don't have to check every day.

Is ReportLost.org an official city service?

No, ReportLost is an independent service that partners with and notifies official agencies like the Yuma Police Department, YCAT, and others. We are not part of the government, but we connect your report to the right official channels and provide ongoing web monitoring that city services don't typically offer. We complement, not replace, filing directly with police or other authorities.
