How it works
You tell us what you lost
Fill out a brief report with details about your item, where you lost it, and how to reach you. Include photos if you have them, and let us know whether your loss happened in town, near a business, on the bus, or somewhere else in the Gibraltar area.
We route it to the right places
We send your report to the Gibraltar Police Department, the relevant lost and found services (including TheRide if applicable), and post it to local community groups and Nextdoor. You don't have to chase down each office yourself.
Your report keeps searching for you
While you go about your day, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items, community posts, and local marketplace listings. If a credible match appears, we alert you right away. This active search runs for your entire 6 or 12-month search period.
Where to report your loss in Gibraltar
Here's what each service covers and how we can help you navigate them:
Gibraltar Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in by officers or found on city property. They can also document your loss for insurance purposes. We let you know exactly which precinct covers your loss location and generate the details you'll need to include when you call.
City Hall
City of Gibraltar's main offices can help direct you to the right department or service depending on where you lost your item. If your loss occurred at a city facility or event, they're a good first point of contact. We'll point you to the right desk so you don't waste time on hold.
TheRide Transit Lost and Found
If you left something on a TheRide bus or at a transit stop in the Gibraltar area, their lost and found service holds items for a period of time before disposal. Items are held temporarily, so reaching out quickly helps. When you file a report with us, we note transit-related losses so our team flags them for TheRide.
Lost or Found Pet
If your cat, dog, or other pet has gone missing in or near Gibraltar, local animal services and community pet networks are your allies. Post quickly to local Facebook groups and alert nearby shelters. For a faster, prioritized search tailored to lost pets, file a priority lost pet report with us.

Here is who to contact.
The sooner you file, the sooner our team can reach out to the right services and amplify your search across Gibraltar's community networks. Once your report is in, you can breathe easy, the work of notifying local channels is on us.
Report my lost item →Losing your wallet, phone, ring, or other valuables in Gibraltar can feel frustrating, especially when you have to contact the police, check Facebook groups, call TheRide, and visit different offices all on your own. The local police lost and found, city services, and community channels are helpful, but they operate separately, and tracking them down takes time.
ReportLost simplifies the process by bringing everything together in one place. File a single report, and we handle the routing to Gibraltar's Police Department, transit services, animal control, and active local community networks. Most importantly, your report doesn't just sit on a shelf, it stays active and continues searching for matches across platforms for months, so you can focus on what matters while we work behind the scenes.

How long does the Gibraltar Police Department hold lost items?
The Police Department's holding period for unclaimed items can vary. We recommend calling (734) 676-5229 or visiting the department to ask about the specific retention policy for the type of item you've lost. When you file a report with us, we ensure police are notified promptly to improve your recovery window.
How do I claim something I've lost from TheRide?
Call TheRide's lost and found line at (734) 973-6500 to check if your item has been turned in. Items are not held indefinitely, so contacting them quickly is important. We'll make sure TheRide is alerted when you file a report with us.
What should I do if I find an item in Gibraltar?
If you find a lost item, consider posting it to the Gibraltar Police Department Facebook page, local community groups, or Nextdoor to help reunite it with the owner. You can also bring it to the Police Department non-emergency line at (734) 676-5229 so they can hold it for the owner to claim.
Can I report a lost pet through ReportLost?
Yes. We have a dedicated lost pet reporting service that prioritizes your pet's recovery and reaches local animal services, community pet networks, and neighborhood alerts faster. Visit our lost pet report page to get started with extra urgency.
How long does my report stay active with ReportLost?
Your report stays active for your entire search period, either 12 months, depending on your selection. Throughout this time, your report continues to match against newly posted found items, marketplace listings, and community posts. If a credible match surfaces, we alert you immediately, so you don't have to check different platforms daily.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not an official city or police agency. We don't replace filing a police report, but we work alongside the Gibraltar Police Department, transit services, and community channels to multiply your recovery chances. Think of us as a coordinator that saves you the hassle of contacting each office separately and keeps your report actively searching for months.
