Where to Report & How We Help
These are the official channels where lost items surface in Oak Ridge and Orange County. ReportLost routes your report to all of them and keeps it active.
Orange County Sheriff's Office
The primary law enforcement agency covering Oak Ridge and Orange County. Report lost or stolen items to their non-emergency line. We identify the right jurisdiction and help you submit your report with all the necessary details.

Orlando International Airport (MCO)
If your item was lost at the airport, MCO maintains a dedicated Lost and Found office in Terminal A, open 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily. We can point you to the exact process and help you provide the right details for their search.
UCF Lost and Found

Report Now, Search Later
Getting your report filed early gives your search the best chance. Once it's in, you can step back. Your report stays active and keeps matching against new found-item posts and alerts.
Report my lost item →Oak Ridge sits at the heart of Central Florida, a growing community where people move fast, and things get lost just as quickly. Whether you've left something behind at a local business, on the road, or somewhere in the neighborhood, the challenge is the same: the police, lost and found offices, and community groups all work separately, and checking each one yourself takes days.
ReportLost simplifies this. One clear report, routed once to all the right channels, and then active monitoring that keeps working for you while you focus on other things. Once your item is filed, your search doesn't pause; your report stays live, matching against new found-item posts and alerts for months, so you can breathe easier knowing you've done everything and someone's still looking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do police keep lost and found items?
The Orange County Sheriff's Office typically holds unclaimed items for 30 to 90 days before disposal or donation. The exact timeline varies by item type. Check with their non-emergency line (407-836-4357) for your specific item's status and to arrange pickup if found.
How do I claim a lost item if it's been found?
You'll need to visit the location where the item is being held, bring proof of ownership (receipt, ID, photos), and fill out a claim form. If you found it through ReportLost's active matching, we'll provide you with the exact location and contact info so pickup is straightforward.
What if I lost something at a private business or shopping center?
Contact the specific store or business directly first; they often have their own lost and found desk. If you need help identifying the right contact or drafting a clear description, ReportLost can guide you. We can also track calls and follow-ups across multiple locations if needed.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report stays active and searchable for your entire chosen period: 6 months or 12 months. During that time, it continues to cross-reference new found-item posts, community alerts, and local databases automatically, so you don't have to re-search or re-post.
Will ReportLost contact me if my item is found?
Yes. If a credible match is detected in local found-item listings, social posts, or community networks, we'll alert you immediately with the source, contact info, and next steps. You can then reach out directly to claim it.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official police and lost and found systems, not in place of them. We route your report to the right agencies and keep it active across community channels so you don't have to do the legwork yourself. Police filings are still important for stolen items and legal claims.
