How It Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what happened, where it occurred, and what it looks like. We gather every detail needed to reach the right places across Albuquerque.
We route it everywhere that matters
Your report reaches the non-emergency police line, ABQ RIDE customer service, the airport lost & found, and local community channels. No back-and-forth calls on your part.
We scan the web for you, every day
Our system searches Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Craigslist, and other public channels for months, looking for posts matching your item. You get an alert the moment we spot a credible lead.
Where to Report in Albuquerque
Each channel handles different types of losses. ReportLost contacts them all.
Albuquerque Police Department
The police non-emergency line accepts reports of lost items like phones, wallets, and personal property. Call the Telephone Reporting Unit or use the online reporting system. We route your loss to the right precinct and generate the report details for you.
ABQ RIDE Transit Lost & Found
Items left on any ABQ RIDE bus go to the transit lost & found office. Call customer service during business hours to check if your item has been turned in. We'll make sure to include all the details ABQ RIDE needs to search their holdings.
Albuquerque International Sunport
Losses at the airport, including items in terminals, at security, or recovered from flights, go to the Sunport lost & found desk. Call the 24-hour line to inquire or file a report. For TSA security losses, we'll also point you to the federal database.
Lost or Found Pets
Missing dogs, cats, or other animals need immediate attention. Search the city and county shelter databases, contact Animal Care Services or Animal Humane New Mexico, and post on community pet networks. We can help you coordinate the search, or you can file a priority lost pet report.
City of Albuquerque Services
Questions about where to file a report or which department handles your situation? Albuquerque's 311 service connects you to the right city office. We'll help point you to the exact desk that's relevant to your loss.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Ready to Report?
The sooner you file, the sooner our monitoring team starts searching Albuquerque's social networks and local channels. Every day counts, but once your report is in, you're done. We take it from here.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Albuquerque sends you chasing across multiple departments and websites. The police take reports one way, ABQ RIDE has its own lost & found line, the airport operates separately, and meanwhile the community is posting finds on Facebook and Reddit without any central place to check. The result: people spend weeks calling back and forth, missing the window when someone could reunite them with what they've lost.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One form tells all the right people at once. Then instead of refreshing Facebook groups and calling city services daily, our automated monitoring does it for you, scanning Albuquerque's social networks and public channels continuously. When a match appears, we alert you immediately. You can breathe again knowing the search is active.
