How ReportLost Works in Blythe
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Include photos and details that make your ring, bracelet, or purse unmistakable.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Blythe Police Department, City Hall, local transit agencies, and Blythe Airport's lost and found, plus community groups across the Colorado River region.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and automatically cross-checks new found items, marketplace posts, and community announcements. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you don't have to check forums and social media every day.
Where Lost Items Go in Blythe
Know your options, but let us do the routing for you.
Blythe Police Department
The main hub for reporting losses in Blythe. They accept lost and found reports at their office on N Spring Street and can advise you on next steps. We tell you which office covers your loss location and generate the exact information you'll need to provide.
City Hall & Municipal Services
City Hall can direct you to lost and found services in public buildings and spaces across Blythe. They also connect you with the right departments if your loss involves city property or events.
Local Transit & Bus Services
Blythe's Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency (PVVTA) operates local buses, and items left on board go to their lost and found. If you lost something on a regional bus, Riverside Transit Agency also covers the broader county. We point you to the right transit provider and the exact phone number to call.
Blythe Airport
If you lost your phone, wallet, or luggage at Blythe Airport (seven miles west of town), contact the airport's lost and found directly. General aviation items are held there.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Blythe, the Blythe Animal Shelter (operated by Riverside County) is the primary recovery point. They also coordinate with Lost/Found Pets in Riverside County Facebook groups and local rescue networks. Act fast and file a priority lost pet report to alert the entire region.

Why Act Now?
The sooner your loss is documented and routed to the right channels in Blythe, the sooner someone who finds your ring, purse, or keys will see your alert. Once your report is filed, our team handles the coordination—no need to call around yourself.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Blythe is stressful, and the local system for recovering it is split across multiple offices. The Blythe Police Department handles reports, the Blythe Animal Shelter manages lost pets, the Palo Verde Valley Transit Agency covers bus items, and Blythe Airport has its own lost and found. If you post on Facebook or call each place separately, you're doing the legwork yourself, and if no one has turned in your wallet or phone yet, you'll be checking back manually for weeks.
ReportLost cuts through that friction. File your loss once, and our team makes sure it reaches the right local authorities, community channels, and organizations in Blythe and Riverside County. Your report doesn't go quiet after a few days—it stays live, continuously matching against new found-item posts and announcements, so your lost bracelet, ring, or purse has a chance to be found and returned to you without you having to do the daily detective work.
