Where things get lost in Palm Valley
Here's how to report to each channel, and how ReportLost takes the leg work out of it.
St. Johns County Sheriff's Office
The sheriff's office maintains a lost property database and can file a formal report. For non-emergencies or to inquire about items, contact their non-emergency line. We'll route your report to the right precinct and help you understand what information they need.
Retail & public venues
Gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping centers in Palm Valley often hold onto items left behind for 30 to 90 days. Instead of calling each one yourself, we contact the most likely places based on where you lost your item and provide them with your description and contact details.
Public Transit
Palmtran Connection and Go Glades bus services operate in the area. If you left something on a bus, you can call Palmtran customer service, or we can file a report on your behalf and follow up with their lost & found department.
Lost pet?
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, the Palm Beach County Animal Care division and local shelters should be contacted immediately. The Ponte Vedra and Palm Valley Lost and Found Pets Facebook group is also active and can help spread the word. For faster results and priority handling, file a priority lost pet report.

It stays active for your entire search period, automatically cross-referencing new found items against your description.
