Where to report and what happens next
The local resources and how ReportLost connects you to them
Seminole County Sheriff's Office
The Seminole County Sheriff's Property and Evidence section handles lost and found property reported within unincorporated Heathrow. Contact the Evidence Specialist at 407-665-6692 during office hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. When you file with ReportLost, we generate the exact details to include and let you know which precinct covers your specific loss location.
Lake Mary Police Department
Lake Mary Police handles lost and found property for the incorporated City of Lake Mary, which overlaps with the Heathrow area. Their Property and Evidence office can be reached at 407-585-1322. Under Florida State Statute 705.103(2)(b)1, items are retained for a set period before disposal. ReportLost ensures your item description reaches the right desk.
Lost pet?
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Heathrow, contact local animal shelters and rescue organizations immediately. Calling ahead helps ensure your pet's information is logged and staff can watch for a match. Shelters like Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando and Houndhaven, Inc. serve the Heathrow area and work with community networks to reunite lost pets with families. For the fastest results, file a priority lost pet report so we can alert shelters and rescue networks on your behalf.
Lake Mary City Hall
If you've lost something in a municipal building, park, or city facility in Lake Mary, start by contacting City Hall at 407-585-1400, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. They can direct you to the specific department or venue where your item may have been turned in. We'll point you to the right city contact and include relevant details in your report.
Orlando International Airport (MCO)
If you lost an item at MCO while traveling to or from Heathrow, the airport's official Lost and Found office can help. You can file a report directly with the airport or contact your airline or rental car company depending on where the loss occurred. Items are held according to TSA and airport policies. ReportLost can also connect you with the right airport channel if you'd like assistance navigating the process.

Report your loss now and let us handle the rest
The sooner you file, the sooner we can alert the right places and begin the active search. You provide the details once; our team takes it from there, staying alert for a match throughout your entire search period.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Heathrow means reaching out to multiple places separately: the Sheriff's Office, Lake Mary Police, animal shelters if it's a pet, neighborhood Facebook groups, and Nextdoor. Each contact requires repeating the same story, and items found weeks later might never reach you if you've stopped checking. ReportLost simplifies this by filing your report once and routing it to all the right channels simultaneously, eliminating the scattered approach.
What makes the difference is that your report doesn't just sit in one office after you file it. For the duration of your search period, 12 months, your report actively hunts for a match with new found items reported across Heathrow and surrounding areas. You get notified when a credible match surfaces instead of spending months revisiting websites and community groups yourself. Once you've reported your loss, your job is done and you can stop worrying; we keep looking for you.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Heathrow
How long does the Seminole County Sheriff's Office hold lost property?
The Sheriff's Property and Evidence section retains items according to Florida statute and agency policy. Once you file a report, call 407-665-6692 to ask about the specific retention timeline for your item. This is why it's critical to report your loss quickly so it's logged in their system before the hold period expires.
Where do I pick up a lost item once it's been found?
If your item is turned in to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, it will be held at their Property and Evidence facility. If it's found by Lake Mary Police, they will contact you if you've filed a report. For items found in businesses or public spaces, the business or venue will typically hold it at their customer service desk. Always provide a current phone number and email when you report so you can be reached when your item is located.
What should I do if I lost a pet in Heathrow?
Call local animal shelters and rescue organizations right away, including Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando and Houndhaven, Inc. Visit shelters in person if possible, as staff may not catch every detail over the phone. Post on Nextdoor, Facebook community groups, and neighborhood pages. File a lost pet report with ReportLost so we can alert shelters and networks on your behalf and keep searching for weeks or months.
Do I need to file a police report to search for a lost item?
You don't need a formal police report for most lost items unless theft is suspected. However, notifying the Seminole County Sheriff's Office or Lake Mary Police that an item is missing ensures it's logged in case someone turns it in. ReportLost files that notification for you and routes it to the right channel so you don't have to make multiple calls.
How does ReportLost search for my item if I don't file with the police myself?
ReportLost routes your report to the official lost and found channels (Sheriff's Office, Lake Mary Police, local animal control, shelters) so it's logged in their systems. We also monitor community channels, neighborhood groups, and local networks for posts matching your item's description. Your report stays active and we alert you when a credible match surfaces, eliminating the need for you to search manually every day.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, Lake Mary Police, or any government agency. We don't replace reporting to the police, but we streamline the process by filing your report with the right authorities and community channels simultaneously, then keeping your report active and searching for a match for months. Think of us as the coordinator that ensures your loss reaches all the right places and stays in the system longer than if you called each place separately.
