How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where you lost it in Orchard Mesa, and when. We gather the details needed to file with the right local agencies.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, animal services, transit lost and found, the airport if relevant, and community groups actively searching. You don't chase down phone numbers or websites.
Your report stays active and searching
For 12 months, your report keeps looking for matches across new found item posts, community networks, and marketplace listings. You get an alert as soon as a credible match surfaces, so you're not checking Facebook groups and lost pet pages every day.
Where Things Get Lost (and Found) in Orchard Mesa
Know where to report based on where you lost your item.
Lost at Home, on the Street, or a Local Business
Report to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, which serves Orchard Mesa and the broader county. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and help you frame the report so they understand what to look for.
Lost on a Grand Valley Transit Bus
Items left on GVT buses are held at the transit office. We help you gather the route number and time you were riding, and we file the claim so you don't have to remember every detail when you call.
Lost at Grand Junction Regional Airport
If you lost a phone, purse, or keys at the airport, the lost and found office holds items for a set period. We make sure your report reaches them with the right details and timeline.
Lost a Dog, Cat, or Pet
If your pet is missing, contact Mesa County Animal Services right away and check their stray list. Local Facebook groups like 'Lost and Found Pets of Mesa County' mobilize the community quickly. We connect you to both and amplify your search across all channels, then file a priority lost pet report that stays active until your companion is home.

The sooner you report, the better.
The first hours matter, and acting quickly improves your chances of recovery. Once your report is filed and routed to the right agencies, you can focus on your day while the community and the system work together to find your item.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Orchard Mesa means navigating separate systems, agency phone numbers, and Facebook groups all at once. A lost wallet, bracelet, or dog means calls to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, Grand Valley Transit if it happened on a bus, the airport if you were traveling, and animal control if it's a pet. Each office keeps its own records; none of them talk to each other.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report reaches all the right channels, stays active in the background while you move on with your day, and alerts you the moment a match shows up. You can breathe easier knowing your loss isn't sitting forgotten in a single lost and found drawer, and the community is actively helping find it.
