Report my lost item →Losing something in Tarpon Springs can be frustrating. Whether it disappeared on a PSTA bus heading toward downtown, slipped away at one of the local parks, got left behind at a restaurant on the water, or went missing during a trip through the Sponge District, getting it back means contacting multiple agencies separately: police, transit, animal control, and online community groups. Each has its own hours, phone number, and process.
