How ReportLost works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to the people who can actually help find it.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to Tampa Police's property division, Hillsborough County lost & found channels, and relevant community recovery networks across the area.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire 6 or 12 month period, we automatically cross-check new found items, community posts, and local listings against your description. You get an alert the moment a match appears, so you don't have to keep searching yourself.
Where and how to report a lost item
Each channel below handles a specific part of recovery. ReportLost coordinates them all in one step.
Tampa Police Lost & Found
The Tampa Police Department's Property and Evidence section holds items turned in by residents and businesses. Call to check if yours has arrived, or submit details of your loss. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your area and what information to provide.
Hillsborough County Property Services
The county coordinates lost property across municipal departments and public facilities. If your item was turned into any public office or recreation center, this is where it's logged. We point you to the right department based on where you lost it.
Tampa International Airport Lost & Found
If you lost your item at TPA, the airport's dedicated lost and found office holds items for a set period. They accept claims online or by phone, and staff can search their inventory. Submit a claim any time.
Lost Pet?
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in the Egypt Lake-Leto area, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay and Hillsborough County Animal Welfare coordinate searches and reunions. Community pet recovery groups amplify missing pet posts rapidly. File a priority lost pet report to activate all local pet networks at once.

Community Recovery Networks
Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and local subreddits are where residents post found items first. These networks move fast, especially for pets and wallets. We post your report across active community channels so it reaches neighbors who might have spotted your item.

Don't let time work against you
The first few hours after a loss are critical. Reporting right away improves the odds that someone remembers where they saw your item or that it's still in the hands of someone willing to return it. Once you file with ReportLost, the legwork of contacting multiple offices and monitoring sites is done. Your report activates immediately.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Egypt Lake-Leto means navigating separate reporting channels, recovery lists, and online groups all on your own. The Tampa Police Department has a property division, the Hillsborough County Animal Welfare has its own system for found items, and community groups scattered across Facebook each maintain their own posts. Coordinating across all of them takes time and attention you may not have.
ReportLost simplifies the process by bundling your report into one form and routing it to every relevant channel at once. Once filed, your report doesn't expire; it automatically matches new found items against your description throughout your search period, sending you alerts so you can focus on other things while the system works for you.

Is ReportLost.org official or affiliated with the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with any government agency. We're a third-party platform that streamlines the reporting process by coordinating between official channels (police, city departments, public facilities) and community networks. We don't replace filing with local authorities; we simplify and extend the reach of your report so you don't have to call each office separately. The police and county still maintain their own lost & found systems, and your report goes directly to them.
