Found something? The search works both ways.
If you've found an item in Carlsbad, you can report it through the police non-emergency line or contact the city. And if someone else has filed a report that matches what you found, we can help connect them to you.
Report my lost item →Carlsbad is a tight-knit community, but when you lose a wallet, ring, or other personal item, it's hard to know where to start. The police, local businesses, and online groups all handle found items separately.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we make sure your report reaches the Carlsbad Police Department and relevant local services, then keep searching for matches on your behalf for the full year ahead. No phone tag, no daily checking.

Questions about lost items in Carlsbad
How long does the police department hold lost items?
Most items are held for a limited time before disposal. That's why filing a report early makes a difference. Once you report with ReportLost, we keep searching for a year, so you don't have to worry if an item resurfaces weeks or months later.
Can I file a lost item report by phone?
Yes, you can call Carlsbad Police non-emergency at (575) 885-2111 to start a report. ReportLost handles the details and routing so you don't have to repeat yourself.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We file reports where departments accept third-party filings, and we route you to the official process where they don't. We're not the police, but we make sure the police and other key services know about your loss.
