Your report reaches Miami-Dade Police, Miami-Dade Animal Services (if it's a pet), Metrobus and Metrorail lost and found, and relevant local groups. You don't have to call each one separately.
Automated monitoring finds matches for you
For 12 months, we scan Facebook community pages, Nextdoor, local marketplaces, and public posts across the web for items matching your description, location, and timeframe. Alerts come straight to you, so you don't spend weeks refreshing the same sites.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching
Filing your report now means our automated system begins monitoring within hours. Every day counts when an item is fresh in people's minds and more likely to turn up on community pages or marketplace listings.
Report my lost item →Richmond West sits in the heart of Miami-Dade County, where losing something means reaching out to multiple agencies, community groups, and online channels scattered across different platforms. A wallet left on the bus goes to Metrobus lost and found; an item lost in a shop requires calls to the store and Miami-Dade Police; a pet needs Miami-Dade Animal Services plus local Facebook networks. Juggling them all at once is exhausting, and the longer you wait, the colder the trail gets.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report with us, and we notify the right official channels, generate alerts on social platforms where locals post found items, and then keep searching the web for you automatically. No more checking Facebook groups every morning or wondering if someone posted a photo of your item and forgot to tag it. Our system does the legwork, leaving you free to focus on what matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Miami-Dade Police hold lost property?
Most police departments in Miami-Dade hold found items for 30 to 90 days. Items without clear owners may be donated or disposed of after that period. File your report early to maximize the recovery window, and ask the precinct for the exact holding timeline.
What happens if I lost something on Metrobus or Metrorail?
Items left on transit are held at the Miami-Dade Transit lost and found, typically for 30 days. Call 786-469-5564 (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or file a report online. ReportLost notifies them directly and tracks your claim.
Where do I pick up a found item in Richmond West?
Depends on where it was lost. If reported to police, collect it at your local Miami-Dade precinct with ID. Transit items go to the transit lost and found facility. Store or restaurant items stay with that business. We help clarify the right location once your report is filed.
How does ReportLost's automated monitoring work?
Once you file a report, our system searches Facebook community pages, Nextdoor posts, Craigslist, OfferUp, local marketplace listings, and public Twitter/Instagram posts daily for keywords matching your item description, location, and loss date. When a credible match appears, we send you an alert so you can follow up directly.
What should I include in my lost item report?
Specific details help us search effectively and notify the right offices. Include a clear description (color, brand, condition, unique marks), the exact location where you lost it, the date and approximate time, and any identifying information (initials, serial number, custom features). ReportLost guides you through this during the report process.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with Miami-Dade Police or any government agency. We complement official reporting by routing your details to the right departments, posting alerts on community channels, and monitoring the web for matches. For theft or crime, always file a police report directly. We make the process simpler and more thorough by keeping the search active for you.
