Report my lost item →Losing something in Spring Creek can feel isolating, especially in a tight-knit community where you'd expect to find it quickly. Whether it's a wallet at a local business, a ring at one of the parks, or a pet roaming the neighborhoods around Lakeport Drive, the challenge is knowing where to report it and whom to contact. The Sheriff's Office, animal control, the transit system, and community Facebook groups all handle lost items separately, and checking each one daily yourself takes time you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report to us, and we notify the Elko County Sheriff's Office, City of Elko Animal Control, the local transit service, and route your information to community channels where neighbors are already helping reunite people with lost belongings. More importantly, your report stays active for 12 months, automatically searching for matches as new found items are reported, so you can focus on your day while we work for you.
