How ReportLost Works
You describe what you lost
Tell us what was lost, where in The Hammocks, and when. We ask the right questions so we have everything the police and lost and found offices need.
We route it to the right places
We make sure the Hammocks District Station knows, alert the Metrobus lost and found if you lost it in transit, and we reach out to any relevant local authority. You get confirmation each step.
We monitor for matches continuously
Our system scans Facebook lost and found groups, community posts, marketplace listings, and local channels automatically for 6 to 12 months. The moment something matching your description appears, you get an alert. No more daily manual checking.
Where to Report a Lost Item in The Hammocks
Your main options and what ReportLost handles for you
Miami-Dade Police Hammocks District Station
The local police precinct is your first official stop for reporting a lost item. They keep a log and can sometimes match found items with reports. Located at 10000 SW 142nd Ave, they're available during business hours. When you report through ReportLost, we provide the exact precinct details and what information to include so your report is complete and properly filed.
Miami-Dade Metrobus Lost & Found
If you lost your item while riding a Metrobus in or through The Hammocks, report it to the transit lost and found line. They hold items and can reconnect you with what you've left behind. ReportLost submits the details for you and tracks whether your item shows up in their system.
Miami International Airport Lost & Found
If you lost something while traveling through Miami International Airport before or after visiting The Hammocks, the airport's lost and found is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in North Terminal D, Level 4. They maintain a searchable database of items turned in. ReportLost ensures your description matches what you'll need to provide to them.
Hammocks Community Association
Your community association office can sometimes help reunite residents with lost items found on common grounds or shared spaces. They're open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ReportLost can connect you to the right community contact if your loss happened in a common area.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in The Hammocks, the situation is urgent and requires specialized help. Post immediately to local pet recovery networks, check with vets and shelters, and alert your neighbors. ReportLost can help, but for pets we recommend also filing a priority lost pet report which reaches rescuers and animal recovery specialists faster.
