Where to Look
The main places to report and check for your lost item in Palm Springs.
Palm Springs Police Department
The Police Department's Lost & Found office holds items recovered by officers and from the community. Call their Lost & Found line to file a report or check if your item has been turned in. We handle the right extension and make sure your description is on file.
Public Transit (Palmtran & Connection)
If you left something on a local bus or Connection GO-Glades route, Palmtran's customer service holds items for a set period. We generate the details you'll need to include in your report and point you to the right phone line.
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)
If you lost an item at the airport, the Palm Beach County Department of Airports Lost & Found holds items in the terminal and security areas. Items are kept for a set period before disposal, so filing early improves recovery odds.
Shops, Restaurants & Public Places
Staff at local shops, restaurants, and community venues often hold items left behind for 30 days or more. We help you identify which businesses are most likely to have your item and suggest what to say when you call.
Lost or Found a Pet?
If your pet is missing or you've found a stray, time is critical. Local animal shelters, rescue networks, and community pet alerts move fast. File a priority lost pet report to connect with these resources immediately.

The sooner you report, the better your chances.
Items held at police lost and found offices, transit depots, and local businesses are inventoried daily and released on set schedules. Filing a report right away gets your item description into the system before it's released or moved. Once you've reported, our team keeps the search going for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Palm Springs means juggling calls to the police, transit customer service, individual businesses, and social media groups. The longer you wait between reports, the less likely someone holds your item. And once you've called around, there's no guarantee the places you called will keep looking if your item shows up tomorrow.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report covers all the main recovery channels in Palm Springs and stays active in the background, cross-checking new found announcements and marketplace posts with your description. That means you get the details in front of the right people right away, and the search doesn't stop when you do.
