Losing something at the Fontainebleau resort, on a Miami Beach street, or in transit across Miami-Dade County is stressful enough. What makes it worse is the runaround: calling the hotel, the police non-emergency line, checking transit lost & found, monitoring Facebook groups, refreshing Craigslist. Each organization keeps its own records, and they don't talk to each other.

ReportLost cuts through that. File once with us, and we make sure every relevant authority and community channel gets your information. Then your report stays active in the background for months, automatically matching against new found items as they're reported. You report, we route, and your search continues without you having to chase leads yourself.

Your lost item might be in one of these zones. We'll make sure each local authority checks.

Fontainebleau Resort & Collins Avenue

The most likely place if you were staying at or visiting the landmark resort. Front desk, valet, restaurants, and the pool areas all have their own procedures, but the main Lost & Found coordinates them.

Items left on buses, the Metromover, or in station waiting areas are routed to the county transit Lost & Found. The sooner you report, the sooner they can search the vehicle or station log.

If you lost something while traveling into the city via transit or car, the Miami Police Department and local businesses log found items. We help identify which precinct covers your area.

Questions About Lost & Found in Fountainebleau & Miami-Dade

How long do businesses and the police hold lost items?

The Fontainebleau resort typically holds items for 30 days; the Miami Beach Police may hold them longer depending on the type. Miami-Dade Transit holds items for 30 days as well. If you don't claim your item in time, it may be discarded or donated. Report quickly to prevent this.

Do I have to go in person to claim my item?

Yes, in most cases. If the Fontainebleau has your item, call or visit the Lost & Found desk with proof of ownership. If the police have it, ask for a claim procedure when you file your report. Check with each entity about ID requirements and hours.

What if I lost something on the Metromover or Metrobus?

Call Miami-Dade Transit Lost & Found at 786-469-5564 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Describe your item and the route/time you traveled. They search the vehicles and hold items. The sooner you call, the better your chances.

I lost something at Miami Airport (MIA). What do I do?

The Lost & Found office is in North Terminal D, Level 4, open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. You can also visit their online search portal or call the airport. If you lost it at a TSA checkpoint, notify TSA staff directly before you leave the airport.

How does ReportLost's automatic search work?

Once you file a report, we match your lost item description against new found item posts across social media, local marketplaces, community groups, and business logs. If a credible match appears, we alert you immediately. Your report stays active for the duration you choose (12 months), so you don't have to check manually every day.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?

ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We don't replace police reports or hotel claims. Instead, we streamline the process by consolidating your information and routing it to the right places (police, businesses, transit, social channels) at once, plus keeping your search active automatically. We recommend filing a police report if theft is suspected, and we help you do that efficiently.
