Where Things Go Missing in Carson City
And where to report them
Carson City Sheriff's Office
Lost items at home, on the street, or anywhere in Carson City go through the Sheriff's Property and Evidence Unit. You can report in person or by phone. ReportLost handles the details and routing for you, so you don't need to figure out which office or unit handles your situation.
City of Carson City Services

Public Transit (RTC OnDemand)
Lost something on an RTC bus or shuttle in the Carson City area? The transit system's Lost and Found holds items for a set period. We know exactly what info to include in your report so the right dispatcher can locate your item quickly.
