How ReportLost Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where you last had it, and when. We collect the details that matter for recovery, including location specifics so we know which local authorities to contact.
We route it to the right channels
Your report gets directed to the Grand Junction Police Department, Mesa County Animal Services (if applicable), the relevant lost and found office, and posted to active local community channels so neighbors and businesses can help.
Automated monitoring finds your item
Our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local marketplaces, and the broader web for 'found' posts matching your description, location, and timeframe. You get an alert the moment we spot a likely match, so you don't have to refresh search results every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Grand Junction
Know your options. ReportLost handles the routing for you, but here's how each channel works.
Grand Junction Police Department
File a report directly with GJPD for lost items, and they'll create an incident record. You can file online or call dispatch. We automatically generate the right details and route your report to the correct precinct.
Mesa County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas of Mesa County and can assist with lost property reports. Lobby hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We tell you which office serves your loss location.
Grand Junction Regional Airport
Left something in the terminal or baggage claim? The airport's lost and found team can hold items for a limited time. Contact them directly or let ReportLost flag your loss with airport security.
Grand Valley Transit (GVT)
Lost something on a GVT bus? Their lost and found is checked regularly. Give them your route and time, and they'll search for you. We make sure your report reaches them with the details they need.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Grand Junction, Mesa County Animal Services is your first call. They maintain a database of lost and found animals and work with local rescues. Time matters with pets. File a priority lost pet report.

Don't wait to report
The sooner you file your loss, the sooner we can start watching for it across all channels. A complete report today means our monitoring begins immediately, improving your chances of recovery.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Grand Junction can feel overwhelming. Between the Police Department, Mesa County Sheriff, the airport, transit lost and founds, and community groups scattered across social media, tracking down your item often means making a dozen calls or posts yourself and checking back repeatedly to see if anyone's reported finding it.
ReportLost takes that burden off your shoulders. One report covers all the official channels, gets your item in front of the right people, and we keep watching the web automatically for months so you can move on. No daily searches, no wondering if you missed a post, no chasing leads on your own time.
