Where to report a lost item in Santa Fe
Use ReportLost to alert all of these at once, or contact them directly.
Santa Fe Police Department
File a formal lost property report with the police. If your item is turned in or found during an investigation, the police keep records. We route your report details directly to them, ensuring your loss is documented and included in their system.
City Hall and Municipal Services
Santa Fe city offices can direct you to the right lost and found locations for items lost in public buildings, parks, or city facilities. We identify which department handles your specific loss location.
Public Transit Lost and Found
If you lost an item on a bus or at a transit stop, North County Regional Transit District manages the lost and found. We provide the specific form and contact information so you know exactly where to check.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, alert local animal services immediately. Santa Fe area residents use active community groups and shelters to reunite with lost pets. The sooner you report, the better your chances. File a priority lost pet report

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better.
Lost items are more likely to be recovered in the first few days, and once your report is filed, the process is out of your hands. Our team takes it from there, keeping your report active and searching while you move forward.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, keys, phone, or anything valuable in Santa Fe means contacting multiple places: the police department, city offices, local lost and found boards, and social media groups. Each office has its own process, and if your item doesn't show up right away, you have to keep checking back yourself. That scattered approach wastes time and often means items stay lost.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report does the legwork for you: we alert the Santa Fe Police Department, send details to the right city departments, and post across the community channels where locals report found items. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after a few days. It stays active for your entire search period, automatically matching new found items against your description, with alerts sent to you if a match emerges. You focus on your day while your report keeps working.

Questions about lost items in Santa Fe
How long does the Santa Fe Police Department keep lost and found items?
The police hold found items for a set period, typically 30 to 90 days depending on the item and circumstances. It's important to file a report quickly, as items are disposed of or donated after that window closes. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, so even if an item appears later, you're notified.
What if I lost my item at a local business or public place?
Contact the business or facility directly, and also file a report with the Santa Fe Police Department. We route your information to city services so the right department knows where to look and what to check for. Many businesses turn items in to the police, so filing there increases your chances.
Can I report a lost item on behalf of someone else?
Yes, you can report on behalf of a family member or friend, but having the actual owner involved (especially for pets) is often helpful so they can answer follow-up questions from police or community members. The more details you have, the better.
How does ReportLost help with items lost on transit?
We provide the exact contact information and procedure for the North County Regional Transit District lost and found. We also post your description across community channels where transit users gather, increasing the chance someone saw your item.
What should I include in my lost item report?
Include a clear description (color, brand, condition), where and when you lost it, and any identifying details (monogram, unique scratch, serial number). A photo is helpful if you have one. The more specific you are, the easier it is for someone who finds your item to recognize it and get in touch.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Santa Fe Police Department or any city agency. We don't replace filing a police report; we work alongside it. Our role is to route your information to the right official channels (police, city, transit, shelters, community groups) and keep your report active across all of them, so you don't have to contact each place separately. Filing with ReportLost ensures your loss gets to the people and systems most likely to help you recover it.
