How ReportLost Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to file with the right offices and share across local channels.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes to the Gunnison Police Department, Gunnison Valley RTA, Gunnison Crested Butte Regional Airport (if relevant), and community groups that actively help reunite people with lost items.
Your Report Keeps Searching
While you go about your day, your report stays active, checking new posts, lost and found listings, and marketplace activity for matches. We alert you the moment something credible surfaces.
Where Lost Items Go in Gunnison
Understand the local lost and found landscape, and why one coordinated report saves you effort.
Gunnison Police Department
The city's central resource for lost property reports. The Police Department holds items and accepts reports through Neighborhood Services. We generate the exact information you need and tell you which number to reach based on your situation.
Gunnison Valley RTA
If you lost something on a Gunnison Valley RTA bus, their Lost and Found team coordinates recovery. Gunnison Valley RTA serves the region, including routes to Crested Butte. We ensure your report reaches their operations team right away.
Gunnison Crested Butte Regional Airport
Lost something at the airport or in a connecting flight? The airport and TSA checkpoints both maintain lost and found services. We flag your report for the airport's attention and provide you with TSA contacts if needed.
Lost Pet
If your cat or dog is missing, time matters. The Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League is the primary shelter, and community members actively share lost pet posts on local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. We connect your pet report to the shelter, alert social networks, and keep searching continuously for sightings. File a priority lost pet report.
Local Businesses & Public Spaces
City Market, downtown shops, parks, and gathering spots are common places where items are turned in. Our outreach ensures local store managers and venue staff know your lost item description and how to contact you. If you remember which place, tell us, and we'll follow up there too.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Every Hour Counts, But So Does Being Thorough
The sooner you report a loss, the fresher the trail and the more likely someone finds it before it moves on. Once your report is filed and submitted to the right channels, the hard part is done. You can relax knowing that your lost wallet, ring, phone, or pet is being actively searched across Gunnison's network for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Gunnison means contacting the police department, checking with local transit, scanning Facebook groups, and checking the animal shelter if it's a pet. Each system operates separately, and following up requires revisiting the same places over and over. That fragmented approach costs time and hope.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. You file once, and we notify every local resource: the Gunnison Police Department's Neighborhood Services, Gunnison Valley RTA, the airport, and community networks. Better yet, your report stays active for your entire search period, continuously cross-referencing new found items and alerts against your description. You don't have to refresh social media or call around daily. We do that work, and you get notified if there's a real lead.

Once you file a report with ReportLost, we ensure the police log your item and description, so even if it arrives at the station after your report, staff can match it to you. We recommend calling Neighborhood Services at (970) 641-8242 to verify the current hold timeline.
What if I lost something on the Gunnison Valley RTA bus?
Email BusOps@gunnisonvalleyrta.org with a description of what you lost, the route you were on, and when you traveled. ReportLost sends your report directly to them and keeps track of any response. RTA typically checks buses and storage areas within a few days.
Can ReportLost help me if I lost my pet?
Yes. We have a dedicated lost pet report that immediately notifies the Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League at (970) 641-1173 and shares your pet's description across community networks like Gunnison Valley Critters and local Facebook groups.

Should I report my loss to the airport or the TSA directly?
If you lost something at Gunnison Crested Butte Regional Airport, contact the airport at (970) 641-2304. If it was at a security checkpoint, TSA has a national lost and found system. ReportLost ensures both are notified and coordinates follow-up on your behalf.

Your report stays in our system, and we continuously cross-reference new found items, marketplace listings, and social media posts against your description. If a credible match appears, you're notified immediately. You don't have to check back yourself; we do the searching.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that simplifies the process of reporting to official channels. We are not the police, and we do not replace filing an official report. Instead, we ensure your lost item report reaches the Gunnison Police Department, transit authorities, shelters, and community networks simultaneously, saving you the effort of contacting each separately. We're the coordinator, not the authority. The police and other official agencies remain the authoritative record-keepers.
