Where Lost Items Go in Fish Hawk
And how to reach them directly, or let us handle it.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office Property and Evidence section holds found items recovered in Fish Hawk and the surrounding area. If your item was turned in by a good Samaritan or found by deputies, it will be logged here. We tell you exactly which process to follow and can route your report directly to their evidence team so they know to look for your description.

Lost something at a shopping center, restaurant, school, or park in Fish Hawk? Staff at these locations typically hold items for 30 to 60 days. We can help you draft a clear description and identify the exact place to contact. Once you report with us, we also share your information with Fish Hawk community networks so locals can help spread the word.
Tampa International Airport
If you lost an item at TPA while traveling to or from Fish Hawk, the airport's Lost and Found office holds items and accepts online claims. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We can point you to the right submission process and keep your report active in case the item resurfaces.

Then your report stays active, continuously searching for a match across lost and found listings and social posts, without you having to revisit Facebook groups or call around weekly.
