Report my lost item →North Port residents and visitors lose items everywhere, from downtown shopping areas to parks, transit stops, and local businesses. Meanwhile, the items sit in separate lost-and-found offices, get posted on different Facebook groups, or end up on Marketplace with no one connecting the dots. Calling each place separately is frustrating, and monitoring social channels daily burns time.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report with us, and we immediately notify the North Port Police Department, City of North Port, local transit services, and community groups. Better yet, our automated search continues scanning the web for months, so you're not stuck doing that work yourself. The moment someone posts a photo or listing that matches your description, you'll know.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lost Items in North Port
How long do police and city services hold lost items?
North Port Police typically hold unclaimed items for 30 to 60 days before disposal, though it varies by item type and value. City Hall and municipal departments may hold items longer if they're clearly identifiable. Contact the North Port Police non-emergency line (941-429-7300) to check on your specific item as soon as you file a report.
What if I lost something on a Breeze or CAT bus?
Breeze Transit (Sarasota County) and Collier Area Transit (CAT) both operate depots with lost-and-found sections. Items are typically held for 30 days. Call CAT at 239-252-7777 or email Breeze at breeze@scgov.net with a description. ReportLost will file a report with both operators so you don't have to call twice.
Can I check Southwest Florida Airport's lost and found online?
RSW doesn't offer a searchable online database. You can email tellTSARSW@tsa.dhs.gov with a detailed description and your contact info, or visit the lost-and-found office in person (across from Baggage Claim 5, Thursday to Monday, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.). ReportLost will submit your report to RSW and monitor for your item online.
How does ReportLost's automatic monitoring work?
Once you file a report, our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Marketplace, online classifieds, and other public web sources every day for 12 months. We cross-match descriptions, locations, and dates to find credible matches. When we spot something that looks like your item, you get an instant alert. You don't have to remember to check these sites yourself.
What should I do if I think I've spotted my item online?
Alert ReportLost immediately with the link or contact info. We'll help you verify the match, provide context from your original report, and suggest the safest way to make contact. Never meet a stranger alone or in an unsafe place. Always coordinate through ReportLost or local police if you feel unsure.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not a government agency. We don't replace police reports or official lost-and-found channels, we amplify them. Our goal is to save you the legwork of calling each place separately and monitoring the web endlessly. For items of significant value or in cases involving suspected theft, a police report is still essential, and we help you file that too.
