Where to Report Lost Items in Dove Valley
These channels work best for different situations, but ReportLost files with all of them at once.
Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office
Dove Valley is unincorporated and governed by Arapahoe County. Contact the Sheriff's Property and Evidence Section to report lost items. We generate the exact information to include in your report so it meets their requirements.
RTD (Denver Regional Transit)

Community Posts & Nextdoor
Local Dove Valley residents and surrounding areas actively post found items on Nextdoor and Facebook groups. We cross-list your lost item in these spaces and monitor new found posts for matches.
Denver International Airport
If your item was lost at DEN, contact their dedicated lost & found desk in the Jeppesen Terminal. We help you describe your loss accurately and follow up on their timeline.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, time matters and the community responds fast. Local shelters, Petco Love Lost, and Facebook pet networks are your lifeline. File a priority lost pet report to mobilize these channels immediately.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you file, the sooner we search.
Your first hours matter, but your report doesn't expire. Once submitted, it stays active for months, and we keep looking even when you're not actively searching.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Dove Valley means navigating multiple systems at once, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, public transit channels if you were on RTD, and scattered community posts across Facebook and Nextdoor. Each place operates on its own schedule, and items turn up weeks or months later, but only if someone knows exactly where to look and remembers to check.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing everywhere at once and keeping your search alive in the background. Once you report through us, our team submits the details to county authorities and community networks, then monitors for matches across found-item listings for your entire search period. You don't need to refresh pages or repost, you just receive an alert when something promising surfaces.
