Where to report a lost item in Gulfport
The official channels, plus how ReportLost saves you time
Gulfport Police Department
The police department keeps a lost and found log and can file a report for valuable or sentimental items. Reach out during office hours or visit in person. ReportLost identifies the right precinct for your loss location and drafts the details you'll need when you contact them.
Gulfport City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the appropriate municipal lost and found or help track down items left in public spaces. Staff are available during standard business hours and can answer questions about where lost items are typically held.
Rideshare & Local Businesses
If you left something in a taxi, Uber, or at a restaurant, hotel, or shop, contact them directly with a description. Many keep lost and found departments and hold items for a set period. ReportLost ensures we remind you of the main spots to check based on where you lost your item.
Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport
Items lost at the airport can be claimed through the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport Authority office. Lost items are typically held and searchable by description. Call during weekday business hours to inquire about your item.
Lost Pet
If your cat or dog is missing, time matters. The Humane Society of South Mississippi and local animal control respond to lost pet reports and keep shelters searchable. Post on Pinellas County Lost & Found groups and check with nearby vets and shelters daily. ReportLost helps you coordinate these efforts and file a priority lost pet report that reaches the right rescue networks.

Ready to start your search?
The sooner you report, the sooner your item can be matched with found items and alerts. Once your report is filed, our team keeps it active so you can focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or beloved pet in Gulfport means juggling calls to the police department, checking multiple Facebook groups, scrolling Craigslist, and hoping someone posts in Nextdoor. The pieces of the search are scattered across town, with no central way to know if your item has turned up somewhere you haven't thought to look yet.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report tells the Gulfport Police Department, local lost and found offices, and active community networks about what you've lost. And unlike a single phone call or post, your report stays active for months, automatically cross-checking new found items and alerts so you're not stuck refreshing pages every morning.
