How ReportLost Works
You file one report
Tell us what you lost, where in Dunedin it went missing, and when. We gather the details once and route them to the right channels.
We notify the relevant services
Your loss gets logged with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Property & Evidence Division, Dunedin City Hall, Tampa International Airport (if applicable), and local transit authorities. No phone tag needed on your end.
Automated monitoring finds your match
We scan Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local classifieds, and community channels continuously for weeks. The moment a credible found post surfaces matching your item, you get an alert. No need to refresh sites every day.
Where to Report in Dunedin
Use these channels yourself, or let ReportLost handle the coordination.

Dunedin City Hall can advise on lost items found in public spaces and direct you to the appropriate agency. We provide the exact details to include when you reach out.
Tampa International Airport

Report my lost item →Dunedin sits at the heart of Pinellas County, where lost items scatter across downtown streets, beachfront shops, parks, and transit hubs. Reporting a loss usually means making separate calls to the Sheriff's Office, City Hall, the airport, and then manually searching Facebook groups and Nextdoor for weeks, hoping someone posts a found match.
ReportLost simplifies that burden. File once, and we route your loss to the police Property & Evidence unit, local government offices, and transport authorities while our system watches public channels automatically. You'll know within hours or days if your item surfaces online, freeing you from the daily hunt.
