How ReportLost Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, when, and where in Palm Bay. We generate the exact description needed for law enforcement and transit authorities.
We Route to the Right Places
Your report goes straight to PBPD, local transit lost and found, nearby airports, and relevant community channels. No phone tag, no repeat calls.
Automated Monitoring Finds Matches
Our system searches Facebook groups, Craigslist, pawn shops, local marketplaces, and community boards continuously for 12 months. The moment a credible match appears, we alert you. You get to rest while we watch.
Where People Report Lost Items in Palm Bay
You can contact these services directly, but ReportLost notifies them all and monitors their channels for you.
Palm Bay Police Department Lost & Found
The primary local agency for lost and found reports in Palm Bay. File a report with the non-emergency line or visit in person at their Malabar Road headquarters. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and generate the exact information to include.
Space Coast Area Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a local bus, contact Space Coast Area Transit. Items are held at their facility on Emerson Drive, and staff will search their inventory for you. We point you to the exact process and follow up with them for matches.
Melbourne Orlando International Airport
Lost an item in the terminal, at security, or on the shuttle? Melbourne Airport has its own lost and found office. They hold items for a set period and can check for your belongings by description. We make sure your report reaches them.
Lost Pet? File a Priority Report
If your pet is missing in Palm Bay, time matters more than ever. Contact Brevard County Animal Services or the Brevard Humane Society immediately, check local Facebook pet groups, and post to community boards. For the fastest coordination with local rescuers and shelters, file a priority lost pet report with us to unlock dedicated monitoring of pet networks.
Palm Bay City Hall
The city's main service hub can direct you to relevant municipal departments or facilities where items might have been turned in (parks, community centers). We can guide you on which office to contact based on your loss location.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Report Now, Rest Easy Later
The sooner you file a report, the sooner your item enters the system and our automated search begins. Within minutes, PBPD, transit, airport, and local community groups are notified. Then we spend the next months watching for it while you live your life.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Palm Bay means juggling calls to the police non-emergency line, Space Coast Area Transit, potentially Melbourne Airport, and dozens of local Facebook groups. By the time you've contacted everyone and checked each site for updates, days have passed. ReportLost cuts through that chaos: one report reaches all the right places at once, and our automated web monitoring keeps searching while you move on.
The difference is the surveillance. Most people report a loss once, then spend weeks scrolling Facebook and refreshing search results, hoping to spot their item. We do that work for you, scanning public posts, classified ads, and community channels every single day, looking for matches to your description, location, and timeline. Once you submit, the hunt is continuous and systematic.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost.org is an independent service, not a government agency. We are not a replacement for filing a report with the Palm Bay Police Department or other local authorities. Instead, we complement police reports by consolidating your information, notifying all relevant services at once, and conducting automated monitoring of public channels that police cannot patrol constantly. For valuable items or crimes, you should always file an official report with PBPD first.
