Frequently asked questions
How long will the Sheriff's Office hold a lost item I report?
Holding periods vary. Items are typically kept for 30 to 90 days before being disposed of or transferred. We recommend calling the patrol line at 915-764-2445 to confirm, and your ReportLost report stays active to alert you if someone finds and reports it later.
If I lost my pet in Fabens, who should I call first?
Call El Paso Animal Services immediately at 915-212-7297 to file a lost-pet report and check if your animal has been brought in. Post photos in 'Lost & Found Pets of Clint, San Elizario, Fabens, and Tornillo' on Facebook at the same time. A ReportLost pet report amplifies both channels and keeps searching for months.
What if I left something on a Sun Metro bus?
Call Sun Metro's customer service line at 915-212-3333 during business hours. Have your route number and a description ready. Items are usually held at the Lost & Found office for a period; if no one claims yours, we'll keep monitoring for it through other channels.
How does ReportLost help if I've already called the police and animal services myself?
ReportLost centralizes your search and automates the follow-up. Instead of you checking Facebook groups and calling around every week, your report stays active and continuously scans for matches across found posts, community listings, and shelter databases for 12 months. You get an alert the moment something credible appears.
Can I report a lost item from outside Fabens but search the Fabens area?
Yes. You can file a report from anywhere and specify Fabens as your search location. We route it to the relevant local channels regardless of where you are.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We don't replace the police or any official channel; we work alongside them. When you file a report with us, we notify the appropriate local authorities and community channels so your item gets visibility in multiple places at once. For items of high value or legal matters, you should still file a formal police report, and ReportLost amplifies that effort.
