How ReportLost Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where you think you left it, and when. We'll ask just enough detail to make your report actionable across multiple channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report gets delivered to the Cape Coral Police Department, public transit lost and found, airport services, and relevant local businesses. No back-and-forth calls needed on your end.
We search the web continuously for matches
Our system scans Facebook lost and found groups, community pages, marketplace listings, and local announcements for weeks or months. The moment a credible match appears, you're notified. You stay in your day while we stay on the lookout.
Where items go in Cape Coral
Here's where to report and what happens next. ReportLost handles coordination so you don't have to.
Cape Coral Police Department
The police department accepts lost and found reports and maintains records. Many items found on the street or in public spaces end up in their custody. We'll file your report with them and generate the exact details you need to include.
LeeTran Bus Lost and Found
If you left something on a LeeTran bus, the lost and found office takes reports and stores items. We'll make sure your description gets to them so they can check their inventory. Call them directly if you need to confirm the status of a specific bus route or time.
RSW Southwest Florida Airport
Items left at the airport are held at the Lost and Found office near Baggage Claim. We'll alert them to your missing item, though quick contact is especially important here since airport storage policies have time limits. Check their hours before visiting.
Local shops, restaurants, and venues
Items forgotten at Cape Coral's retail stores, dining spots, and recreation facilities are typically held at the front desk or manager's office. We'll help you identify which businesses to contact based on where you last remember having your item.
Lost pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in Cape Coral, time is critical. Contact Lee County Domestic Animal Services immediately and post to local pet networks. For a faster, more comprehensive approach, file a priority lost pet report with us and we'll amplify your search across all community channels.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Cape Coral can feel like it vanishes into thin air. Between the police department, bus system, airport, and dozens of local Facebook groups, there's no single place that ties everything together. You end up making phone calls, filling out forms in different places, and then manually checking social media every day to see if someone's posted a found item.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches all the right channels at once, and our automated search monitors the entire web and local community boards so you can breathe easy. Once you've filed, the work shifts to us.
