How it works in three steps
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details that matter for the right people to find your item.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the St. Petersburg Police Department Property & Evidence office, PSTA if it's a transit item, Pinellas County Animal Services for pets, and the relevant community channels in Lealman and St. Petersburg.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report automatically cross-references new found-item posts, local listings, and community alerts. You get notified if a credible match appears, so the search continues even when you're not actively looking.
Where to report in Lealman and the surrounding area
Local channels and what each one does. ReportLost handles the coordination so you don't have to.
St. Petersburg Police Department
The St. Petersburg Police Property & Evidence office holds found items reported to police or turned in at stations. They retain items for a set period before disposal. When you report with ReportLost, we tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and supply the details needed for their records.
PSTA Bus Lost and Found
If you left your wallet, phone, or bag on a Pinellas Suncoast Transit bus, PSTA's Lost and Found holds items for a limited time. Check with them as soon as you realize the loss. We generate the key information (route, date, item description) to help you file a claim quickly.
St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport
Lost something at the airport? The airport's Lost and Found office handles items left in terminals, security areas, and aircraft. We point you to the right desk and provide the contact method that matches your loss.
City of Lealman & St. Petersburg Resources
City Hall and community centers can provide local information or help you access municipal lost and found resources. For Lealman-specific services, contact the main city office. ReportLost ensures your information reaches the right local desk.
Lost or found a pet
Pinellas County Animal Services and local shelters are your first stop for missing dogs and cats. They scan found animals for microchips and keep lost pet reports on file. Time is critical with pets, so report immediately. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to alert shelters, rescue groups, and community networks simultaneously.

Your item is still out there. Report it now.
The sooner you file a report, the sooner the search network starts working. Once you've submitted your information, the heavy lifting shifts to ReportLost and the local channels we connect. You've done your part, now let the system do its job.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, or pet in Lealman means navigating St. Petersburg Police, multiple transit channels, animal services, and scattered Facebook groups all on your own. Each office keeps separate records, and community posts disappear fast once scrolled past. The fragmented system leaves gaps, and most people only check once or twice before moving on.
ReportLost bridges those gaps with a single report that reaches all the right channels at once, then stays active for months. No need to call multiple offices, refresh social media daily, or hope someone posts your item in the right group. Your description automatically matches against new found-item activity across the region, and you're alerted the moment a real lead surfaces. Once you report, the search becomes automatic.

Frequently asked questions about lost items in Lealman
How long does the St. Petersburg Police Department hold items in their Property & Evidence office?
The St. Petersburg Police Department retains found property for a standard period before it may be disposed of or auctioned. Contact their Property & Evidence Division at 727-893-7560 for specific timelines on your item. Acting quickly increases your chances of recovery.
What's the best way to describe a lost item to improve the chances of finding it?
Include brand, color, size, any visible marks or damage, and distinctive features (engravings, stickers, tags). The more specific your description, the easier it is for police, transit staff, and community members to spot and match it correctly. ReportLost helps you organize this information clearly.
How long can I claim a found item if someone turns it in to PSTA or the police?
PSTA and the police typically hold items for 30 to 90 days depending on the office and item type. Personal IDs and phones may be kept longer. Check with the relevant department immediately, as timelines vary. ReportLost provides direct contact information so you can verify retention rules quickly.
Can I report a lost pet with the same report as a lost item?
No. Lost pets require urgent, specialized alerts to animal shelters, rescue networks, and pet-focused communities. ReportLost has a dedicated lost pet reporting channel that reaches Pinellas County Animal Services, local vets, and pet social networks immediately. <a href="/report-lost-pet">File a priority lost pet report here.</a>
What happens after I report with ReportLost? How long does the search continue?
Once you submit your report, ReportLost routes it to police, transit, animal services (if applicable), and community channels. Your report then stays active for 12 months depending on your selection, continuously matching your item description against new found-item posts and updates across the region. You receive an alert if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check every day.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official agencies like the St. Petersburg Police Department, Pinellas County Animal Services, and PSTA. We are not part of any government entity, but we coordinate directly with them and community channels to amplify your lost-item report. Think of us as the bridge that saves you time calling and posting separately.
