How ReportLost works in Pocatello
You tell us what you lost
Share a description, where and when you lost it, and any details that matter. We ask the right questions so nothing gets missed.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Pocatello Police Department Property and Evidence unit, Pocatello Regional Transit if applicable, the airport if relevant, and the community groups that move lost items fast in this area.
We monitor continuously for matches
Our system scans Facebook lost and found groups, Nextdoor posts, online marketplaces, and local channels every few days for months. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert, so you're not refreshing pages yourself.
Where lost items go in Pocatello
We report to all these places so you don't have to figure out which one has your item.
Pocatello Police Department
Items turned in to police go to the Property and Evidence unit. You can call to ask if something matching your description has arrived, but we'll do that legwork and follow up for you.
Pocatello Regional Transit
Found items left on buses are kept for 30 days. Rather than calling repeatedly, we alert the transit lost and found office and monitor for your item across that window.
Pocatello Regional Airport
Lost or delayed baggage at the airport goes through the Airport Manager's Office. They're open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, and we'll file the report and check in regularly.
Community & Social Channels
Pocatello's "Lost Found Stolen" and "Pocatello Chubbuck Lost Found Stolen" Facebook groups are where locals post found items. We monitor these groups and similar channels continuously to catch posts that match your item.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a pet, Pocatello Animal Services holds strays for 3 business days, and the local animal shelters have dedicated lost pet channels. Time matters more with pets, so we expedite the report and use specialized pet networks. File a priority lost pet report

The sooner you report, the sooner we start watching.
Every day counts when something goes missing. The moment you file a report with ReportLost, we alert all the relevant local channels and begin monitoring the web. You can then step back and let the system work, knowing we're keeping an eye out.
Report my lost item →Pocatello spreads across multiple neighborhoods and jurisdictions, and when you lose something, it could end up at the police property room, a transit depot, the airport lost and found, or listed in one of several community Facebook groups. Figuring out which channel to check and when takes time you may not have.
ReportLost consolidates that work. One report triggers alerts to all the right local authorities and channels, and then our automated monitoring takes over, watching for your item across the web for months while you get on with your day. If something matching your description surfaces, you'll hear about it right away.
