How ReportLost works in Moab
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it, and upload a photo if you have one. We gather all the details needed to reach the right local channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Moab Police Department, Moab Animal Control (if it's a pet), Moab Area Transit if applicable, and we post to local Facebook groups and Nextdoor to reach your community fast.
Your report keeps searching for you
Once filed, your report stays active for your entire search period. We cross-check new found posts, local marketplace listings, and community announcements against your description, so you don't have to refresh sites every day. You get an alert the moment a credible match appears.
Where to report lost items in Moab
Each channel serves a different part of town and type of loss. ReportLost connects them all at once.
Moab Police Department
The Police Department maintains lost and found lockers and is often the first place locals check after a loss. Items are held and can be claimed during business hours. We let you know exactly which desk to contact and what information to provide.
Moab Animal Shelter & Animal Control
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, the Animal Shelter and Dispatch are your immediate resource. Call or visit during their set hours, and they can check their intake logs. Your report stays in circulation while we also broadcast to pet-focused community groups. If a lost pet is your concern, file a priority lost pet report.
Moab Area Transit
Left something on a Moab Area Transit bus or at a stop? The transit service keeps a lost and found. Call their line during operating hours, and we make sure your details reach the right dispatch point so drivers can spot your item.
Canyonlands Regional Airport
If you lost an item at or near Canyonlands Regional Airport (CNY) just outside Moab, the airport's lost and found and the Grand County authority manage claims. We help you submit the right paperwork and follow up on your status.
Moab City Hall
The City's administrative offices can direct you to department-specific lost and found services and cross-reference whether an item has been turned in to city facilities. We pinpoint the right office for your situation.

The sooner you report, the better your chances
A few minutes now to file your loss report means our team immediately connects with local services and your community, while your report remains in active search mode around the clock. Acting quickly makes all the difference.
Report my lost item →Moab's outdoor culture brings thousands of visitors and locals through parks, shops, trails, and transit each year, which means lost wallets, phones, keys, and beloved pets land in many different places. Between the Police Department's lost and found lockers, the Animal Shelter, Moab Area Transit, and scattered community posts, the information isn't centralized, and items can get lost in the shuffle.
ReportLost shortens that process. Submit one report and we handle the routing to police, animal control, transit, and the social channels where Moab residents actually look. Best of all, your report doesn't expire after a quick check. It stays active for months, automatically cross-referencing new found items and community alerts so you can focus on your day while we keep watch on your behalf.
Common places to lose items in Moab
Losses happen across town. We route your report to all the right places at once.
Downtown Moab & Main Street
The heart of retail and dining, where wallets, phones, and small personal items slip away most often. High foot traffic means items may reach multiple local shopkeepers and the Police Department.
Arches & Canyonlands Parks
Hikers, climbers, and day-trippers frequently lose gear, keys, and jewelry on trails and at trailheads. Park visitors often contact Moab dispatch and rangers with found items.
Moab Valley & Surrounding Campgrounds
Seasonal and year-round campgrounds are outdoor hubs where ring, keys, and backpacks go missing. Local campground staff and the community groups often spot lost items.
Transit Stations & Bus Routes
Moab Area Transit buses and stops see lost phones, bags, and personal effects. Items are logged with the transit service and our report ensures the match gets found.
Canyonlands Regional Airport
Travelers lose items at baggage claim, security, and the curb. CNY's small scale means items are often well-documented and recoverable if reported promptly.
Moab's community channels
We post your report to the groups and forums where locals actively look for lost items.
Facebook community group for lost and found items across Moab
Facebook group dedicated to missing and found animals in the region
Facebook group for pet losses and sightings in Moab and surrounding areas
Moab Reddit community where locals share news and community alerts
Neighborhood app where Moab residents post local lost and found items
Frequently asked questions about lost items in Moab
How long does the Moab Police Department hold lost items?
The Police Department keeps items in their lost and found lockers, but we recommend claiming within a few weeks of your loss to ensure it hasn't been cleared. ReportLost keeps your report active for up to 12 months, so even if you don't retrieve it immediately, we keep checking new found posts and local alerts.
What should I do if I lost a pet in Moab?
Contact Moab Animal Control immediately at 435-259-8938 (call Dispatch). They check their intake logs and can post alerts. For the fastest and most comprehensive search, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost, which broadcasts to multiple pet-focused community groups and keeps your pet's details circulating.
Do I need to check with Moab Area Transit if I lost something on the bus?
Yes, call Moab Area Transit at 833-628-3733 to report your loss and ask if the item has been turned in. ReportLost coordinates this step and documents your report so if it arrives later, you're already in the system.
How do I claim a lost item at the Police Department?
Call Moab Police Department at 435-259-5121 or visit them in person at 217 East Center Street during business hours (Monday–Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to noon). Have a description and proof of ownership ready. ReportLost generates the exact information you'll need to provide.
Can ReportLost guarantee I'll get my lost item back?
We can't guarantee recovery, but we dramatically increase your odds by routing your report to all the right places at once and keeping your description in active circulation for months. Our success depends on how quickly you report and how active your local community is in the lost and found channels.
Is ReportLost.org an official service, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not as a replacement. We handle the routing, coordination, and long-term monitoring so you don't have to call every agency yourself. The Moab Police Department, Animal Control, and transit services remain the official custodians of lost items, and your report ensures they're all aware of your loss.
