Report my lost item →Losing something in Pelican Bay can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure whether to call the Sheriff's Office, the Naples Police, or post on Facebook. Different services keep their records separately, so your lost wallet, ring, or phone might sit in a Sheriff's evidence room while you're searching online, never knowing it's there. ReportLost closes that gap by sending your report where it needs to go right away, and keeping it active on your behalf.
Once you file with us, you can relax knowing your description is being compared against new found item reports, community posts, and transit lost and found lists for months. There's no subscription or monthly renewal, no checking Nextdoor three times a day hoping for a match. You report once, and your search continues automatically for your entire search period.

ReportLost keeps your report active during this window and beyond, so you don't miss a match if your item appears in a community post or on a resale site later.
What if I lost my wallet or purse on a rideCAT bus?
Call rideCAT immediately at (239) 252-7777 with the route number and a description. Found items are usually held for 30 days. Also file a report with ReportLost so your description is on record with the local police and community channels, in case someone posts about finding it online.
Do I need to visit the Naples Police station in person, or can I report by phone?
You can call the non-emergency line at (239) 213-4844 to check their inventory and file a report. A trip in person (Police station in Naples) can help, especially for high-value items, but a phone report is legally binding and gets logged in their system. ReportLost also ensures your report reaches them without you having to repeat the same details twice.
What should I do if I lost something at a Pelican Bay community event or facility?
Contact the Pelican Bay Foundation at (239) 597-8081 or visit the Activities Office. Lost and found items are often stored at the Commons or recreation centers. File a report with ReportLost at the same time so your description is in the community network, and you'll be alerted if anyone posts about finding a matching item on Nextdoor or Facebook.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?

You can report to us and to local authorities simultaneously, and many people do. Our advantage is that we handle the follow-up legwork and keep your description searchable for months, while you don't have to call every office yourself or refresh community posts daily.
