Lost something in Caldwell? Report it and activate automatic recovery.
One report gets routed to the Caldwell Police Department, Canyon County Sheriff, local lost pet networks, and Caldwell's public services. Then we monitor the web continuously, scanning marketplace listings, local Facebook groups, Nextdoor posts, and community channels for months so you don't have to.
What did you lose?
If there isn’t an adequate suggestion, select “Other – My item isn’t listed” and enter the item’s category. You can provide details later.
Publishing your report is free and your details stay private. The assisted search is a separate paid service, described in the Terms.

How ReportLost works in Caldwell
You file one report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to reach the right channels, whether that's the Police Department, Sheriff's office, animal shelter, or transit provider.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Caldwell Police, Canyon County Sheriff, West Valley Humane Society (if it's a pet), Valley Regional Transit (if it's on the bus), and other relevant local services. You don't have to call and email each one yourself.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
We search the web automatically for 12 months, checking Facebook lost and found groups, Craigslist, Nextdoor, local shelter postings, and other channels. The moment a match appears, you get alerted. No daily refreshing, no missed posts.
Where to report lost items in Caldwell
These are the official channels. ReportLost routes your item to all of them at once.
Caldwell Police Department
If you've lost an item in Caldwell or on city property, the Police Department holds found items and can file a report. Their Property and Evidence Division manages stored items. We contact them directly and generate the exact details they need for your case.
Canyon County Sheriff
The Sheriff's office covers areas outside city limits and also maintains a lost and found. If your loss occurred outside Caldwell proper or on county property, they may be the right contact. We determine the jurisdiction and tell them what you lost.
Lost pets in Caldwell
Found a lost dog, cat, or other pet? West Valley Humane Society, located right here in Caldwell, handles stray redemptions and lost pet reports for the area. Canyon County Animal Services also responds to lost animals. File a priority lost pet report.
Valley Regional Transit (VRT)
Lost something on a VRT bus in Caldwell? The transit system has a dedicated lost and found. Call VRT Customer Service and describe your item. We know which bus line serves each area and help you give the exact route details.
Caldwell Executive Airport
If you lost an item at the airport (security, terminal, parking lot), the Airport Administration office keeps found items. Caldwell Executive is a general aviation facility. We route your report to airport staff and they'll check their lost and found records.
Caldwell City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department and sometimes holds items found on public property. We provide them with all the information they need, so you don't have to explain your loss multiple times.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
File a report and start monitoring
The first 24 to 48 hours matter most, and the sooner you alert local services, the higher your chances of recovery. Once your report is filed through ReportLost, you can relax, knowing our automated search is working around the clock across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Craigslist, local community pages, and every other channel where Caldwell residents and visitors post found items.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Caldwell means juggling multiple channels, from the Police Department to the Sheriff's office to local transit and animal services. Each one keeps its own lost and found, and there's no central place to file a single report that reaches them all at once. Local Facebook groups and Nextdoor help, but they depend on someone else spotting your item and posting it, and you have to check manually every day to see if anything matches.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File once, and we handle routing your report to Caldwell Police, Canyon County Sheriff, West Valley Humane Society, Valley Regional Transit, and the airport. Then, instead of you refreshing local group feeds every morning, our automated system monitors the entire web continuously, tracking lost and found posts across every marketplace and community channel where Caldwell residents post. The moment we spot something that matches your description, location, and timing, you're notified immediately.
