How it works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. We generate a clear, complete report with all the details that matter to police and local lost and found services.
We send it to the right places
Your report goes to the Fort Myers Police Department, RSW airport (if relevant), LeeTran transit lost and found, and local community groups. You don't have to chase down five different offices.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For 12 months, your report automatically checks against new found items posted in the community, on social channels, and in local marketplaces. You get an alert the moment a match looks promising, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups every day.
Where items typically turn up in Fort Myers Shores
Here's what to do next, and where ReportLost sends your report

If your item was lost at RSW (Southwest Florida International Airport), the Lost and Found office is located across from Baggage Claim 5. Open Thursday to Monday, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. We alert them directly to your loss so they add it to their active search.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Fort Myers Shores means racing between the police department, the airport lost and found, transit services, and scattered community groups.

ReportLost does the routing and the watching for you. File once, and your report reaches the right official channels and stays active, matching against new found items automatically throughout your search period.
