How ReportLost Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us where, when, and what you're looking for. We handle the details, so you don't have to hunt down ten different forms.
We route your report to the right places
Your loss goes to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office where they accept third-party reports, relevant local lost and found offices, and gets published on community channels so people actively searching for found items see your description.
Your report keeps searching for you
For the next 12 months, we cross-check new found item posts, local announcements, and marketplace listings against your report. You get alerted the moment we find a credible match, so you can move forward without refreshing Facebook groups or neighborhood apps every day.
Where Lost Items Go in Lake Harbor
Know your options, or let us handle them for you.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office
The sheriff's office accepts reports of lost items and maintains records. We file the report where they accept third-party submissions and provide you with the exact contact information, link, and office location if you need to follow up directly.
Non-emergency dispatch: 561-688-3400|Records Section: 561-688-3140
Lake Harbor & Palm Beach County Services
City and county offices sometimes hold items turned in at public facilities. We identify the right department for your loss location and contact them on your behalf, so you get a direct reference rather than being passed between departments.
Public Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a bus, items are held at the transit management office. Palm Tran's lost and found team can be reached directly, and we make sure your report reaches them with all the details they need to identify your item.
Lost Pets
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, Lake County Animal Shelter and local rescue groups are searching. We connect you with shelter resources and make sure your pet's description reaches every relevant channel, while you focus on looking closer to home. File a priority lost pet report
Community Lost & Found Groups
Facebook groups and neighborhood apps are where people post found items and ask about losses. We post your report to the active groups that matter in your area, and we keep matching it against new posts for a full year so nothing slips through.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Ready to report?
Once you file, you'll have a reference number and confirmation that your report is out there working for you. No back-and-forth with multiple offices, no wondering if anyone actually saw your post.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Lake Harbor means navigating separate systems: the sheriff's office, local animal control if it's a pet, community Facebook groups, and whatever lost and found offices might have received it. By the time you've contacted everyone, a day or two has already passed, and tracking down your item feels like a part-time job.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, filed with the right agencies and posted where people who've found items are actually looking. Then we take over the daily work, keeping your report active and continuously searching for matches across the places where found items show up. You've already done the hard part; let us handle the follow-up.

Questions About Lost Items in Lake Harbor
How long do police and sheriff's offices hold lost items?
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office holds items for a set period before disposal; check with their Records Section at 561-688-3140 for specifics on your loss. We include this information with your report so you know the timeline and can follow up if needed.
What if I lost something on a Palm Tran bus?
Contact Palm Tran's Lost & Found at 561-841-4287 (press Option 3). Items are held for a limited time before being donated or discarded. We'll make sure your report reaches them with your item description and contact details.
Do I need to file a police report to claim a lost item?
Not always. Lost items and found items are usually handled through lost and found offices, not police reports. However, if the item was stolen or lost in suspicious circumstances, a report with the sheriff's office may help. We'll advise you on what makes sense for your situation.
How does ReportLost keep searching if I lose interest?
Your report stays in our system and is continuously cross-checked against new found item posts on Facebook, Nextdoor, community groups, and other channels for 12 months. We alert you if we find a match; you don't have to keep checking yourself.
What if my lost pet doesn't show up in Lake County Animal Shelter?
Pets can end up at rescue organizations, other shelters in the region, or with individuals who find them. We make sure your lost pet report reaches the major shelters and rescue groups, and we keep searching community posts where people share found pets for a full year.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace filing with the police?
ReportLost is an independent service; we're not the police or sheriff's office. We file your report where the agencies accept third-party submissions and post to community channels so people actively looking for found items see your description. Filing through us doesn't replace a police report if you believe a crime occurred, but it covers the lost and found bases so you don't have to contact everyone separately.
