How ReportLost Works in Santa Fe
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details that matter: description, location, date, and any identifying marks. Your information becomes the foundation for our outreach.
We Route It to the Right Places
We alert the Santa Fe Police Department, Santa Fe Transit, Santa Fe Regional Airport (if applicable), and the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society (if it's a pet). We also post to local community channels and groups where residents actively share found items.
Automated Monitoring Finds Matches for You
Our system scans Facebook groups, Reddit threads, local marketplaces, and community posts every day, looking for "found" announcements that match your description, location, and timeframe. When a likely match surfaces, you get an alert immediately. You never have to refresh a dozen sites each morning.
Where to Report in Santa Fe
These channels handle found items directly. ReportLost connects you with them and watches for matches you might miss.
Santa Fe Police Department
The police department accepts lost property reports and maintains a lost and found database. For items lost in public spaces or businesses, filing a report creates an official record that improves recovery chances. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and ensure your report reaches the right desk.
Santa Fe Transit Lost & Found
If you left your item on a Santa Fe public bus, the transit system's lost and found holds items for a set period. Contacting them promptly increases the chance your belongings are still there. We generate the exact contact details and location you need to reach out.
Santa Fe Regional Airport
Lost baggage or items left at the airport terminal are handled by the Airport Manager's office. Items without airline tags go through the airport's own lost and found system. Reporting promptly with your flight details and a clear description helps locate your luggage or belongings faster.
Lost Pet
If your cat or dog has gone missing, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society is your first call. They maintain records of found animals and can check if yours has been brought in. Local pet finder networks and the shelter's social channels spread the word quickly. To launch a dedicated search with continuous monitoring specifically for missing pets, file a priority lost pet report.
City Hall & Local Services
Santa Fe City Hall can direct you to departmental lost and found offices if you lost something at a city facility or event. Some municipal buildings, libraries, and public venues keep separate lost and found collections. We help you identify which city office to contact based on where your loss occurred.

Your Next Step
The sooner you report, the sooner our monitoring systems start working for you. Once your report is filed, you can step back and let us track leads across the web, social media, and local channels. Most items are recovered when the report reaches the right places and someone sees it.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Santa Fe can feel isolating, especially when recovery means making separate calls to the police department, checking the transit lost and found, contacting the airport, and posting across multiple Facebook groups and community pages yourself. Each channel operates independently, and there's no central system that keeps watch on your behalf.
ReportLost simplifies that burden. One report reaches all the relevant Santa Fe services and local channels. More importantly, we deploy continuous automated monitoring across the entire public web, marketplaces, and social networks for months. You report once, and we keep looking so you don't have to spend time each day wondering if someone posted about your item. The moment a credible match appears, you hear about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do police and transit keep lost and found items in Santa Fe?
The Santa Fe Police Department and Santa Fe Transit typically hold items for a limited period before disposal (policies vary by item type and value). Contact the police lost property line (505-955-5384) or transit lost and found (505-955-2004) immediately after filing your report to confirm your item's status.
Do I need to file a police report to recover my lost item?
A police report creates an official record and alerts the department's lost property system, which improves your chances of recovery. For items lost on transit or at the airport, you can also contact those services directly. ReportLost files with the appropriate agency based on where you lost your item.
What should I include when I report a loss in Santa Fe?
Provide as much detail as possible: the exact item, color, brand, size, distinguishing marks (initials, serial number, damage), the specific location where you lost it, and the date and time if you remember. Photos or documentation of ownership are especially valuable. The more specific your description, the faster we can identify a match.
How long does ReportLost monitor for my item?
We monitor continuously for 12 months, depending on the item and circumstances. Our automated system scans Facebook groups, local community pages, marketplaces, and social networks daily, checking for posts that match your description, location, and timeframe. You'll receive an alert as soon as a likely match surfaces.
Will ReportLost post about my loss on social media?
Yes. We share your report with active local Facebook groups like the SANTA FE NM LOST & FOUND PETS group, r/SantaFe, and Nextdoor communities, so residents who might have found your item see it. Our postings use the information you provide to maximize visibility.
Is ReportLost.org official, and does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official agencies. We are not part of the Santa Fe Police Department or any government body. We do not replace filing a police report; instead, we amplify your report by routing it to the right departments and continuously monitoring public channels where found items are announced. You can use both ReportLost and official channels together, which actually increases your recovery odds.
