How ReportLost works in Mesquite
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to police, city services, and the community.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Mesquite Police Department, City Hall, the bus lost and found, your local animal shelter if it's a pet, and community groups actively searching.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period (12 months), your report automatically matches against new found items reported on local channels and marketplaces. You'll get an alert if a match shows up, so you can focus on your day instead of monitoring posts yourself.
Where to report a lost item in Mesquite
Below are the official channels. ReportLost handles notifying them on your behalf and keeps your case active during your search period.
Mesquite Police Department
File a report for lost or stolen items. The police also hold found property by appointment during office hours. We tell you exactly which precinct to contact and generate the information they need.
City of Mesquite
City Hall can help direct you to the right department and keep records of items turned in at public buildings. We point you to the right desk so you don't have to transfer calls.
Mesquite Transit (Route 333)
If you left something on the local bus, call the lost and found number right away. Items are typically held for a limited time. ReportLost makes sure this channel gets your description too.
Lost Pets
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, contact the Mesquite Animal Shelter immediately. They keep records of found animals and can help identify yours. For the fastest path to bringing your pet home, file a priority lost pet report with us.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Mesquite means reaching out to separate offices: the police station, city hall, the bus service, local shops, and online community groups. By the time you've called everyone and posted everywhere, days have passed. ReportLost simplifies that. One form, one submission, and we make sure the right people know about your loss and keep looking on your behalf.
What sets us apart is the active search window. After you file your report, you're not stuck refreshing Facebook groups and Nextdoor every morning.

The moment someone reports finding your wallet, ring, phone, or pet, we alert you and help you connect with them.
