How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it in Florence, and any details that might help someone recognize it. We gather everything needed in one straightforward form.
We send your report to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Florence Police Department, City of Florence departments, local businesses where you lost it, and community boards. No need to call around or figure out who to contact.
We search the web for you, automatically
For months, we scan Facebook lost and found groups, Nextdoor posts, local marketplaces, and other public channels for posts matching your item's description, location, and timeframe. You get an alert the moment we spot a credible lead, so you can stop checking yourself.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Florence
Multiple channels exist to recover lost belongings, each playing a different role in the community.
Florence Police Department
The police non-emergency line is the official channel for reporting lost items and filing a record that may help if your item is turned in. We ensure your report is filed and direct you to the right desk.
City of Florence
City Hall and municipal departments coordinate lost item reports and can direct you to specific city facilities or departments. They also maintain records that help reunite lost items with their owners.
Florence Regional Airport (FLO)
If you lost an item at the airport, the Public Safety department maintains a lost and found for terminal items. Contact them directly with a description and your flight details.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a pet in Florence or Lauderdale County, the city's Animal Control and local shelters are your first stop. Microchipping and community pet groups also help reunite lost animals with their families. File a priority lost pet report

The sooner you report, the better
Acting quickly improves your chances of recovery, especially when our monitoring system can start scanning for your item right away. Once you've filed a report through us, the work moves to our automated search while you focus on your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Florence, whether it's a wallet downtown, keys at a local shop, or an item left at a restaurant, puts you in a frustrating position. The police department, city services, and community lost and found groups all operate separately, meaning you'd normally have to contact each one individually and keep checking back yourself for days or weeks.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report from you reaches everyone who can help, and our automated web monitoring takes over the tedious part, scanning local channels continuously and alerting you if your item turns up anywhere. You can move forward knowing the search is happening in the background.
