How ReportLost Works in Ojus
You file your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to alert the right agencies and social channels across Ojus and surrounding Miami-Dade County.
We route it to every relevant place
Your report goes to Miami-Dade Police Property and Evidence, Broward County Transit Lost and Found (if applicable), local animal control (for pets), and community lost & found groups. You don't have to call each one separately.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and continues to match against new found items, posts, and reports. You get an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you're not checking Facebook groups and lost pet sites every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Ojus
Below are the main places where lost items end up. ReportLost alerts all of them at once, but if you'd like to contact them directly, here's how.
Miami-Dade Police Property and Evidence
If you lost an item in Ojus, it may be held at the Miami-Dade Police property unit. ReportLost tells them exactly where and what to look for. You can also reach them directly to ask if your item has been turned in.
Public Transit Lost and Found

Broward County Transit Lost and Found|Miami-Dade Transit Lost and Found
Miami International Airport
If your loss happened at MIA or on a flight into South Florida, the airport's Lost and Found can help. Our report also flags your item there so staff know to watch for it.
Local Shops, Restaurants and Public Spaces
Lost your wallet at a café or your phone in a parking lot? ReportLost can advise you on which businesses and property management offices to contact in Ojus, and we'll help you craft the message to send. We also post alerts to community social channels so neighbors can keep an eye out.
Lost Pet Services
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, time matters. Broward County Animal Care and local shelters across Miami-Dade are your first call. We notify them and post to pet-specific lost and found networks so your pet gets maximum visibility. File a priority lost pet report for faster alerts to local animal rescue networks.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
When an item goes missing, the first hours matter most. Having a report active and searchable across police property, transit lost and found, and community channels immediately increases the odds of recovery. Once your report is filed, you can focus on other things while we keep searching.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Ojus means calling around to Miami-Dade Police, checking Broward County Transit if you lost it on the bus, scrolling through lost pet groups, and hoping someone posts it on a community Facebook page. Each agency has its own process, its own hold times, and its own forms. By the time you've tracked down phone numbers and waited on hold, a week has passed.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report, and we handle the routing to police property units, transit lost and found, animal services, and the social channels where people post found items. Then your report stays active in the background, automatically comparing new found items and posts to your description, so you don't have to. The moment a real match appears, you're notified.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do police and transit hold lost items in Miami-Dade County?
Miami-Dade Police Property and Evidence typically holds items for 90 days to one year, depending on the item. Broward County Transit keeps lost items for 30 days. However, ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, so you'll get an alert if your item resurfaces after a police hold expires or a transit employee finds it later.
What if I lost my item in Ojus but it might have been taken to Broward or Miami-Dade property?
Ojus straddles Miami-Dade County and is served by both Broward County Transit and Miami-Dade services. ReportLost ensures your report reaches both jurisdictions, so you don't have to guess which property unit has it.
How do I claim a lost item from Miami-Dade Police Property and Evidence?
Call Miami-Dade Police non-emergency at 305-945-1111 to confirm your item is in their system, then follow their instructions for claiming it. You'll typically need to prove ownership (receipt, ID, photo, etc.). ReportLost can help you organize that information when you file your report.
What if my lost pet is at Broward County Animal Care?
Call Broward County Animal Care at 954-359-1313 right away, or visit their shelter. If your pet was found and brought in, they'll be holding it for you. ReportLost alerts animal shelters immediately and posts to pet-specific lost networks so your pet gets maximum exposure while they're still searching for you.
How often does ReportLost check for my lost item?
Your report stays active for your entire search period (12 months) and continuously matches against new found items, posts, and reports across police, transit, and community channels. You don't refresh it or check daily—we do the searching for you and alert you if a credible match appears.
Is ReportLost.org affiliated with Miami-Dade Police or the City of Ojus?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that helps you report lost items to the right agencies and keeps your report active while searching for a match. We're not part of any government agency, but we work with them by routing your report to their lost and found systems and posting to community channels where lost items are shared.
