How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details police and recovery services need, so you don't have to repeat yourself across multiple agencies.
We route it to the right places
Your loss gets submitted to the Twin Falls Police Department's lost property division, People for Pets animal shelter if it's a pet, transit operators like Ride TFT, and community networks that actively search for recovered items.
Your report keeps searching
Even after you file, your report stays active and cross-checks new found items posted to local groups, community boards, and marketplace listings. We alert you instantly if a credible match surfaces, so you're not checking Facebook or Craigslist yourself every day.
Where to Report and What to Know
Twin Falls has several channels for reporting losses and finding items. Here's what each handles and how ReportLost can simplify the process.
Twin Falls Police Department
The police department maintains a lost property division and keeps all reports on file. They can also tell you if anyone has brought in items matching your description. We handle coordinating with the right precinct and generating the exact information officers need to file your report correctly.
Ride TFT (Twin Falls Transit)
If you lost something on a Ride TFT bus or shuttle, the transit system keeps a lost and found log. Items are typically held for a set period before donation. Calling ahead with a clear description speeds up recovery. ReportLost ensures your lost item information reaches the right transit operator.
City of Twin Falls Services
Twin Falls city government coordinates with multiple recovery channels, including parks, public facilities, and community networks. The city also maintains connections to the police department's lost property system. We help identify which city department might have information about your specific loss location.
People for Pets Animal Shelter
Lost a dog, cat, or other pet? People for Pets (Magic Valley Humane Society) is the primary shelter in Twin Falls. They maintain records of all animals brought in and can check for microchip information. The shelter works with local Facebook groups like Lost and Found Pets of Magic Valley to reunite lost animals with families. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report.
Community Lost and Found Groups
Active groups like Magic Valley Lost and Found and Lost and Found Pets of Magic Valley on Facebook are where Twin Falls residents post both lost and found items. Craigslist and Nextdoor also carry lost and found postings. Our system notifies community moderators and cross-references these platforms for you, so you get alerted the moment your item appears.

Ready to get your search started?
The sooner you file, the sooner your report begins working across all local channels. Once submitted, you can relax knowing the Twin Falls Police Department, transit operators, and community networks have your information and will flag any matches that come in.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Twin Falls means contacting the police, checking multiple Facebook groups, calling the animal shelter, and monitoring Craigslist and Nextdoor for weeks. Each agency keeps its own records; a found item posted in the Magic Valley Lost and Found group might never reach the police report you filed downtown. By the time you hear about it, someone else may have claimed it.
ReportLost bridges that gap. A single report to us ensures the Twin Falls Police Department, local community channels, and recovery services all know what you're looking for. Most importantly, your report continues working for you during the critical weeks when most lost items resurface. Instead of you checking five different platforms daily, your report automatically monitors for matches and notifies you the moment something credible appears.
