How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, when, and where in Thonotosassa. We gather the details that matter to local authorities and community searchers.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Tampa Police lost and found desk, HART if it's transit-related, and gets shared across local Facebook groups and community networks.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically checks new found posts, marketplace listings, and community announcements. You get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to search the same channels over and over.
Where to Report in Thonotosassa
The main channels and what each one covers. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office
If your loss occurred in unincorporated Thonotosassa (outside Tampa city limits), the Hillsborough County Sheriff handles lost and found property reports. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and generate the report details to pass along.
Tampa Police Lost and Found
For items lost within Tampa proper, the Police Department's lost and found section is your official contact point. They log your item description and hold it for a standard retention period. We provide the exact information and phone contact you'll need.
HART (Hillsborough Area Regional Transit)
Left something on a bus? HART's lost and found team holds items for a defined period and accepts inquiries by phone. We help you document what was left behind and when so your claim is clear and traceable.
Tampa International Airport
If your loss occurred at TPA or on a flight, the airport's lost and found office (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or online claim system can help recover items. We point you to their direct channel.
Lost Pet
Lost your cat or dog? Time matters with pets. Report to Hillsborough County's animal shelter and the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, post in local lost pet Facebook groups and r/tampa, and check PawBoost. The faster you alert the community, the better your chances. For urgent help, file a priority lost pet report.
Community & Social Networks
Thonotosassa residents actively share found items in local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. ReportLost amplifies your report across these channels, so neighbors who've found something see your description and can reach you directly.

The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching.
Every hour counts when something goes missing. Filing your report right now means our team immediately reaches out to the relevant offices and community channels, and your report begins its active 6 to 12 month search. The longer you wait, the less likely your item stays in a lost and found or gets spotted.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Thonotosassa can feel scattered. Your wallet might end up with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, your phone with HART transit, or your dog posted in a local Facebook group, and there's no single place to report that covers all of them at once. Without a central hub, you're left calling different departments, checking multiple community groups daily, and hoping someone has seen what you've lost.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. File one report with us, and we immediately connect you with the right authorities (county sheriff, Tampa Police, transit), relevant lost and found offices, and active local social channels. More importantly, your report stays active and keeps searching for you, automatically cross-referencing new found items and community posts for the full 12 months of your search, so you can move on with your day knowing the work is continuing.

ReportLost is built for people reporting losses. If you've found something, contact the local police non-emergency line (813-247-8200 for the Sheriff, 813-276-3200 for Tampa Police), HART, or post in local Facebook groups and Nextdoor to connect with the owner directly.

Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not instead of them. We route your report to the actual police departments, lost and found offices, and public channels that hold or post lost items. We don't replace the police; we connect you to them and amplify your report across local networks so you don't have to contact each one manually.
