How it works in Fort Myers
You report your loss
Describe what you've lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed for law enforcement and community alerts, so you only tell your story once.
We route it to the right people
Your report goes to the Fort Myers Police Department, Lee County Domestic Animal Services if it's a pet, the airport if it was lost at RSW, or LeeTran if it was on a bus. We also push your alert to active Lost and Found groups across Facebook and Nextdoor.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
For 12 months, our system scans the web continuously, searching local marketplaces, community posts, and classified ads for items that match your description. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. No manual daily scrolling needed.

Don't let your lost item disappear from view
The sooner you report, the sooner our monitoring system starts searching. Every hour counts when something goes missing, but once you've filed your report with us, you can relax knowing we're watching on your behalf across the entire web.
Report my lost item →Fort Myers spreads across multiple jurisdictions and lost & found channels. An item left on a LeeTran bus, found near downtown, posted in a neighborhood Facebook group, or turned in at RSW airport each lands in a different system. If you try to follow up yourself, you'll spend hours calling different departments, joining various groups, and refreshing pages hoping someone posts a photo.
ReportLost.org simplifies that chaos. One report triggers outreach to the Fort Myers Police Department, local transit, the airport, and community networks all at once. Then our automated web monitoring takes over, scanning for any sign of your item across social media, resale platforms, and local channels for months. You file once, then focus on other things while we keep watch.
