Ready to Report?
The sooner you file, the sooner your item enters our active search network and reaches the right local channels. Getting your report in motion today gives your lost wallet, ring, or phone the best chance to be found and returned.
Report my lost item →Merritt Island residents and visitors pass through busy corridors, shops along the Causeway, the airport, transit stops, and neighborhood areas where wallets, phones, rings, and other essentials slip away without warning. When that happens, the recovery path splits across multiple places: the sheriff's office, the city, transit lost and found, merchants, and scattered social posts. ReportLost brings them together in one action, so your lost item doesn't fall through gaps.
Once you file your report with us, our team handles the routing to the Brevard County Sheriff's East Precinct and other local channels while your description stays live in our active search network. Rather than you calling each location and checking every online group by hand, your report works for you, matching automatically against found items and new leads as they surface over weeks and months.
