If it was turned in to RSW Airport, claim it at their office. We help you identify the exact department and location for your loss so there's no confusion.
What if I lost my item at a business or restaurant?
Contact the establishment directly first, they keep Lost and Found items on-site. If they don't have it or the item is not claimed within a few days, ask if they've turned it in to the Lee County Sheriff's Office. We can help you draft a clear description and direct you to the right next steps.
