How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect just the details that matter to police, transit, shelters, and community groups in the North Valley area.
We route it to the right channels
Your report goes to the Valley Area Command, ABQ Ride lost and found, Animal Care Services if it's a pet, and active Albuquerque community networks. You don't have to make separate calls.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your description stays active and gets matched against new found items, shelter intakes, and community posts. You receive alerts the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing pages every day.
Where lost items go in North Valley
Each location has its own process. We help you reach all of them.
Police and non-emergency reports
The Valley Area Command, part of the Albuquerque Police Department, handles lost items reported in North Valley. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and generate the exact information to include in your report.
ABQ Ride bus lost and found
Left something on an ABQ Ride bus? Items are held and can be claimed at the lost and found office. We point you to the right process and can include transit details in your report so the system knows to search their holdings.
Lost and found pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other animal in North Valley, Albuquerque's Animal Care Services and local shelters hold lost pets and check microchip databases. We connect you to the right reporting channels and community alerts. File a priority lost pet report for faster outreach to shelters and rescue groups.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better
Items get turned in, moved, or forgotten within hours or days. Getting your report into the system right away means the police, transit, shelters, and community all have your description while the item is still recoverable. Once you've filed, the ongoing search happens automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in North Valley means contacting the police, checking shelters, scanning Facebook groups, calling transit, and hoping someone posts a found item online. It's scattered, it's time-consuming, and you're never sure you've covered every place it might turn up. If it's a pet, the urgency is even higher, and the channels multiply.
ReportLost turns that chaos into one straightforward action. You file a single report, and we make sure the right people know: the Valley Area Command, ABQ Ride, Animal Care Services, and the Albuquerque community channels where people post found items. Then your report stays active, continuously cross-checking new discoveries against your description, so the search doesn't depend on you checking every day. Once you've reported, you can breathe, and your item has the whole system working for it.
