How It Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to get your case in front of the right people.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes straight to Socorro Police, City services, Transit, and Animal Services as needed. No running between offices or waiting on hold.
Automated Monitoring Finds Matches for You
We scan Facebook groups, Reddit, Craigslist, marketplace listings, and community posts every day for months, looking for anyone who's posted "found" matching your item. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears.
Where to Report in Socorro
Below are the official channels. ReportLost handles routing to these for you—but here's what each one does:
Socorro Police Department
The first stop for lost items in Socorro. They maintain a lost and found and can file an official report. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and ensure your report reaches them.
City of Socorro
City Hall coordinates municipal services and can direct lost items to the appropriate department. We generate the exact info you need to include when you contact them.
Socorro Transit
If you lost something on a bus or during a ride, Socorro Transit keeps a lost and found. We point you to the right desk and make sure your item description reaches them quickly.
Lost Pet
Animals are handled with urgency through Socorro Animal Services and the wider El Paso network. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report to get alerts across shelters, microchip databases, and pet-specific social channels immediately.

The Clock Moves Fast—But You Don't Have to
The sooner you report, the faster your item can be reunited with you or tracked down online. Once your report is filed, the monitoring and routing happen automatically. You've done your part; let us do ours.
Report my lost item →Socorro sits at the crossroads of multiple service areas, and when you lose something, the natural instinct is to call police, then check the transit office, then hope someone posts about it online. That fragmented approach costs time and often doesn't work because each channel operates independently. ReportLost centralizes your report and does the legwork so you can focus on other things.
The real power is the automated monitoring. After you report, our system keeps watching the web for weeks and months, scanning every public listing, group post, and community message for a match. You won't miss a "found" post buried in a Facebook thread or buried on Craigslist because we're checking all day, every day, and we'll notify you the instant something credible surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Socorro Police keep lost items?
Most items are held for 30 to 90 days. After that, unclaimed items may be disposed of or donated. ReportLost prioritizes early reporting so your item is logged and held while we search for it online.
What if I lost something on a Socorro Transit bus?
Contact Socorro Transit at (915) 860-8615 Monday through Friday. Items are typically held at their main office. We'll alert them immediately and help describe what you lost so they can identify it quickly.
How do I claim a found pet?
Visit Socorro Animal Services (call (915) 858-9237) or check with El Paso Animal Services at 5001 Fred Wilson, El Paso, TX 79906. We'll monitor microchip registries and local pet groups to increase the odds of a match. File a lost pet report for priority tracking.
Do I need to file a police report for a lost item?
For valuable items or suspected theft, yes. ReportLost files the report on your behalf and ensures it's documented properly. For other items, we still alert Police and City services so your description is in the system.
How often does ReportLost check social media and marketplaces?
Our system scans continuously—multiple times daily across Facebook groups, Reddit, Craigslist, and other public channels specific to Socorro and El Paso. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match is found.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace calling the police?
