Where lost items go in South Bay
Know exactly where to look, and let us know exactly who to tell.
South Bay Police Department
South Bay police hold recovered property and lost items for a set period before disposal. If you lost a wallet, phone, or personal item in a public place or reported a theft, property recovered by officers ends up here. We identify the right precinct and generate the info you'll need when you call or visit.
Palm Beach County Transit
Items left on buses or at transit stops are logged and held. If you lost something during your commute, transit's lost and found is your first stop. ReportLost contacts them on your behalf and shares your description so they can flag your item if it arrives.
Palm Beach International Airport
If your loss happened at or near the airport, or you traveled through PBI before realizing something was missing, the airport's dedicated lost and found team can search baggage and terminal areas. Call or email them with your flight info and item details. We make sure they get the full picture.
South Bay City Hall
City Hall manages some community lost and found inquiries and can redirect you to the right municipal department. You can also file a report here if your loss occurred on city property or at a city facility.
Lost & Found Pets
If you lost a dog, cat, or other pet in South Bay or the surrounding Brevard County area, animal services, the Humane Society, and local rescue groups maintain databases of strays and lost animals. Microchip registries and pet-specific social media groups amplify your reach. File a priority lost pet report to activate our pet-focused network.

Report your loss today

Report my lost item →Losing something in South Bay can feel scattered, especially when the Police Department, Palm Beach County services, transit systems, and community groups all operate separately. You end up making calls to multiple places, posting in different Facebook groups, and refreshing search results every day hoping someone posts a found item that matches yours.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, filed once, reaches all the right places at once and stays active automatically. We handle the legwork of routing your description to South Bay police property recovery, county lost and found offices, and the neighborhoods and groups where locals share found items. While your report works for you in the background, you can stop worrying and get back to your day.
