Getting started is simple
Filing a report early maximizes the chance of recovery. Once you tell us the details, our team routes to the right channels and starts monitoring. You'll have peace of mind knowing the search is active.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Orlando means calling the police non-emergency line, hunting through LYNX's lost and found portal, checking the airport if you flew in, posting on multiple Facebook groups and subreddits, and refreshing your browser every morning hoping someone found your keys. It's fragmented, exhausting, and easy to miss a match. ReportLost simplifies this. One report, one team handling the routing, and automated monitoring that doesn't sleep.
Orlando residents and travelers know the drill: items disappear on buses, at MCO, in restaurants and shops downtown, or in parks. Local lost and found systems exist, but they operate separately. Our service bridges that gap. We file on your behalf with the right agency, alert the community channels where locals actually post found items, and then watch for matches continuously. You report once, and our system works in the background while you get on with your day.
