Where to Report & How to Recover
The main channels in Goulds and Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office
For lost or found property, contact the Sheriff's Office non-emergency line. We tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and what details to provide. Items are typically held for 30 days; after that, unclaimed property may be auctioned or donated.
Miami-Dade Transit Lost & Found
If you left a purse, phone, or keys on Metrobus, Metrorail, or Metromover, Miami-Dade Transit maintains a centralized Lost & Found. We guide you through reporting and checking status; items are typically held for up to 30 days.

Flying through MIA? The airport's Lost & Found handles items left in terminals, security, or shuttle buses. Located in North Terminal D, Level 4, open daily 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. We generate the exact info you'll need to claim a found item.
Lost or Found Pet
Miami-Dade Animal Services and the Humane Society of Miami maintain the official lost and found pet database for our area.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Ready to Report?
The sooner you file, the better. Once your report is submitted, we take it from there, routing it to every relevant local service and keeping it active in our matching system. You can focus on other things; your report won't stop searching.
Report my lost item →Goulds sits in the heart of Miami-Dade County, and losing something here means navigating separate systems: the Sheriff's Office, transit authorities, animal services, and scattered community pages. A wallet left at a local shop, a bracelet dropped on the bus, or a dog that wandered away each requires calling different numbers and posting to different groups. It's easy to slip through the cracks.
ReportLost simplifies that mess. File once, and we route your loss to every relevant local channel, then keep your report active and searching for a match over months. You no longer need to refresh Facebook groups or call the Sheriff's office repeatedly; your signaling stays live, crossing new found reports with your description automatically. Once submitted, you can breathe while we handle the legwork.
