How ReportLost works in Leesburg
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We ask for a clear description and any identifying details. Takes about 2 minutes.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Leesburg Police Property and Evidence Section, Lake County Animal Shelter (if a pet), LakeXpress Lost & Found (if transit), and local community groups. No bouncing between offices yourself.
We monitor for matches automatically
Our system scans the entire web continuously, watching Facebook lost & found groups, Nextdoor posts, marketplace listings, animal registries, and local social channels. When a credible match appears, you get an alert. No need to refresh sites every day.
Where to report in Leesburg
These are the official channels. ReportLost files with them automatically, but here's what each handles:
Leesburg Police Department
The Property and Evidence Section holds items turned in by residents and businesses. They keep records for a set period. We'll include your loss details on file with them and check back regularly.
Property & Evidence: 352-728-9860|Main Station: 115 E Magnolia St
LakeXpress Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a bus, LakeXpress holds items for 90 days at their Lake County Transit Management office. We'll file a report with them and follow up before that window closes.
City of Leesburg
City Hall can direct you to the right department for lost items found on city property or in public spaces. We'll contact them to log your report and ensure it reaches the right desk.
Lost or Missing Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, Lake County Animal Shelter, Humane Society of Lake County, and the Leesburg Humane Society all take lost pet reports and post found animals. We'll alert all of them and monitor local pet recovery networks continuously. File a priority lost pet report to bypass the general form and get immediate alerts.
