How ReportLost works in North Hobbs
You describe what you lost
Fill out a quick report with details about your item, where it went missing, and how to reach you. Whether it's a wallet, phone, or cherished ring, we capture everything that matters.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Hobbs Police Department, City Hall's records, Lea County Airport if relevant, and the City of Hobbs Animal Adoption Center. We also post your alert to local social channels where North Hobbs residents gather.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and monitors incoming found listings, marketplace posts, and community alerts. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you—no need to refresh Facebook or Nextdoor every day.
Where your lost item might be
Each channel below handles lost items differently. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Hobbs Police Department
The Hobbs PD accepts lost item reports and maintains records of found property. They can help if you lost something in a public place or believe it was taken. We submit your report directly to their records system and can tell you which precinct covers your loss location, so you know your case is in the right hands.
City of Hobbs
City Hall tracks lost and found items reported at municipal locations and public events. They can advise you on where your loss occurred and the process for retrieval. We help generate the exact information you'd need to include in any formal inquiry.
Lea County Regional Airport
If you lost something at the airport terminal or during travel through Hobbs, Lea County Regional Airport maintains a lost and found. Items are typically held for a set period. We point you to the right desk and ensure your report is filed in their system.
Lost or found a pet?
The City of Hobbs Animal Adoption Center handles stray animals and lost pet reports. They keep strays for a brief hold period, and active community groups help reunite missing pets with their families. If your companion is missing, or you found one, file a priority lost pet report so the right rescuers are alerted immediately.

Report my lost item →Lost your wallet at a local shop, left your phone in a taxi, or misplaced a bracelet around town? In North Hobbs, lost items get reported to separate places: the police department, city records, the airport if you flew out, or the animal center if it's a pet. Calling each office, describing your loss multiple times, and then checking back daily is exhausting.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, one description, and we make sure the right local channels receive it right away. Better yet, your report doesn't end when you hit submit: it keeps searching for a match for the full 12 months you choose, alerting you if something fitting your description turns up. You can breathe easier knowing the search is ongoing.
