How ReportLost Works
You file your report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details that matter most for recovery, so you don't have to repeat the story to every office.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, Newberry City Hall, Alachua County Animal Resources (if it's a pet), local lost and found groups on Facebook and Nextdoor, and relevant local businesses where your item may have turned up.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues matching against new found items, marketplace posts, and community announcements. You get an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check back constantly.

Acting fast improves your odds.
The sooner you file a report, the fresher the trail. But once you do, you can breathe. ReportLost takes it from there, and your report keeps working for you for months.
Report my lost item →Newberry is a close-knit community where lost items can disappear across multiple channels fast. Whether you left your wallet at a local business, your keys at City Hall, your phone at a gathering, or your pet wandered off, each recovery path requires a separate call or visit. The sheriff's office, city departments, animal services, and community groups all keep their own records, and coordinating between them takes time you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File once, and we make sure the right people in Newberry and Alachua County know about your loss. Better yet, your report doesn't stop after your initial filing. It stays live, automatically matching your description against new found items and community posts for months, so you can focus on your day while the search continues behind the scenes.

Items held in lost and found are typically kept for 30 to 90 days, depending on the nature of the item and local policy. It's best to call (352) 955-1818 immediately if you think your item is there.
