Fill out a quick report with details about what you lost, where, and when. We generate the exact information needed for each local authority.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching
The first few hours and days after a loss are when items are most likely to be turned in and posted online. Once your report is active, you can focus on your day. We'll keep matching your description against new posts and found items across all channels.
Report my lost item →Losing your wallet, purse, or bracelet in St. Pete Beach means navigating calls to the police department, the sheriff's office, transit authority, and hoping someone posts about it on Facebook or Craigslist. Each agency has its own process and timeline, and items don't stay in lost and found forever. Without a coordinated alert across all these channels, your chances of recovery drop fast.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One report reaches every relevant local authority and community channel at once, and stays active while you live your life. Instead of checking the police website, calling PSTA, and scrolling through Facebook groups daily, your description keeps matching against new found items and posts automatically. If there's a match, we tell you immediately.

Questions about lost and found in St. Pete Beach
How long does the police department hold lost items?
The St. Pete Beach Police Department and Pinellas County Sheriff's Office typically hold items for 30 to 90 days, depending on the type of item and whether it's claimed. Getting a report in early matters, as older items may be disposed of. We file your report immediately so it's in the system.
What if my item was left on a PSTA bus?
PSTA's Lost & Found keeps items at their main office and allows pickup by appointment only. Call 727-540-1800 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Having a detailed report on file helps if you need to provide proof of ownership.
Can I report a loss that happened weeks ago?
Yes, you can still report. Items are held for 30 to 90 days at police and transit, so the sooner the better. Even if an item isn't recovered, a filed report helps if it shows up later on a marketplace or in a community post. We'll keep matching for the full search period.
What if I lost my item at the airport?
Contact the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport Lost & Found office directly or call 727-453-7800. They hold items for a limited time. If your item came through TSA, they also maintain a lost and found. We can help route your report to both.
How do I report a lost pet?
Contact Pinellas County Animal Shelter at 727-582-2600 (option *8) immediately, and call Friends of Strays at 727-522-6566. Both organizations check microchips and maintain found pet lists. We recommend filing a priority lost pet report to maximize visibility across shelters and social networks.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that routes your report to official agencies and community channels for you. We don't replace the police, but we make sure your loss reaches the right desks (police property & evidence, transit lost and found, local Facebook groups) in one step, and keep matching for months. Think of us as the coordinator so you don't have to make five calls and check ten websites.
