Get ahead while the trail is fresh
The first few hours after losing something are when memories are clearest and locations are most likely to still have your item. Reporting now means official channels get the alert sooner, and your description stays accurate. Once your report is filed with us, we handle the follow-up so you can focus on retracing your steps.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Magna means contacting multiple places at once: the police non-emergency line, city services, the transit authority if it was left on a bus, animal control if it's a pet, and scrolling through Facebook groups and Nextdoor every single day hoping someone posts about finding it. That's a lot of friction when you're already stressed.
ReportLost takes the friction out of it. File one report with us, and we make sure it lands with the Unified Police Department, Magna City Hall, UTA, and the community channels where your item is most likely to turn up. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it. For 12 months, it stays active and keeps checking new posts and alerts so you don't have to.

Questions about losing and finding items in Magna
How long do UTA and the police hold lost items?
UTA holds found items for 30 days. The Unified Police Department typically holds items for a set period as well; call non-emergency dispatch at 801-840-4000 to ask about their specific hold times and where your item would be stored.
I lost my pet in Magna. What should I do first?
Contact Salt Lake County Animal Services at 801-840-4000 right away and visit local shelters in person within 24 hours. Post on the Magna/WVC Pet Lost and Found Facebook group and the statewide Utah Pets group. If you use ReportLost, choose our lost pet priority report so your alert reaches rescuers faster.
Where do I pick up a lost item once it's found?
Depends on where it was lost. UTA items are typically claimed at the UTA Lost and Found. Police-held items are claimed at the Unified Police Department non-emergency office or the precinct that has it. Check with the office where it was turned in for their pickup hours and what ID you'll need.
Should I file a police report if something is just lost, not stolen?
You can file a report with the non-emergency line if you want an official record, especially for high-value items. It helps if the item later turns up with a business or in a found-item database. ReportLost can help you decide if a report is worth filing and what to include.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and keeps searching for matches for your entire search period, which is either 12 months depending on which option you choose. This means you don't have to check community pages or call the police every week; we alert you automatically if a credible match is found.
Is ReportLost affiliated with the Unified Police Department or Magna City government?
No. ReportLost is an independent service. We're not run by or officially partnered with the police, city, or any government agency. What we do is help you file reports faster and ensure they reach the right channels, then keep searching on your behalf. You can always call or visit these agencies directly if you prefer.
