Public Transit and Bus Lines
If you left something on a local bus or at a transit stop, items are collected by operators. We guide you to the right transit authority for your loss location, though items on regional buses typically go to the operating agency's lost and found office.
Orlando International Airport (MCO)
Flying out of MCO and lost something in the terminal or on a flight? The airport's Lost and Found office is in Terminal A and open daily. We help you file a claim with the right airline or airport authority.
Shops, Restaurants & Public Spaces
Items left at retail stores, malls, parks, and restaurants in Pine Hills are usually held by the business. We help you prepare the right description and contact information so staff can identify your item quickly.
Lost Pets
A missing pet is urgent and requires specialized channels. Orange County Animal Services maintains a lost and found database, and local Facebook groups are very active in reuniting pets with owners. File a priority lost pet report for faster alerts and dedicated monitoring.

The Sooner You Report, the Better
Acting quickly gives your lost item the best chance of being reunited with you. Once you file a report with ReportLost, our team takes it from there, alerting the right authorities and keeping watch across local channels and the web for months to come.
Report my lost item →Pine Hills sits in Orange County, west of downtown Orlando, with busy intersections, shopping areas, residential streets, and community spaces where items go missing every day. Between the sheriff's office, city services, local shops, and online community groups, reporting a loss means contacting multiple places separately, and then checking back repeatedly to see if anyone has posted a found item.
ReportLost simplifies the process. One report reaches the authorities and local channels that matter, and then our automated monitoring takes over. We watch the entire web, local Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and community forums for weeks and months so you can move forward without the daily burden of searching.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the sheriff's office and local businesses hold lost items?
The Orange County Sheriff's Office typically holds items for 30 to 60 days, though this can vary. Local businesses may keep items for shorter periods. We recommend contacting them as soon as possible. When you file with ReportLost, we ensure the right agencies are notified immediately.
Do I have to file a formal police report to claim my lost item?
For most personal items, a report through the sheriff's non-emergency line (407-836-4357) is sufficient. For high-value items or theft concerns, a formal report may be needed. We help you understand which route is right for your situation.
What if my item was lost on public transit?
Items left on local buses are collected by operators and turned in to the transit authority's lost and found office. We identify which transit provider serves your loss location and guide you to contact them. Check back periodically, as items are sometimes claimed by other riders.
How does ReportLost's automatic monitoring work?
Once you file a report, our system scans Facebook groups, Reddit, Nextdoor, Craigslist, eBay, and local community forums continuously for posts matching your item's description, location, and timeframe. When a credible match is found, we send you an alert right away. This runs for 12 months, so you don't have to check these sites daily.
What should I include in my report?
The more detail, the better: a clear description (color, size, brand, condition, any distinctive marks), exactly where you lost it, the date and time, and any sentimental or identifying features. We help you format this information so it reaches the right authorities and online communities effectively.
Is ReportLost.org an official government service?
No, ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. We partner with local authorities and community networks to amplify your report and add automated, long-term monitoring that traditional services don't provide. We don't replace the police or sheriff's office, we complement them.
