Where to Report a Lost Item in Three Lakes
The official channels, and how ReportLost routes your report to all of them at once.
Miami-Dade Police Non-Emergency
Miami-Dade Police accepts reports of lost property through their non-emergency line. You can file online or by phone; ReportLost generates the exact details to include and tells you which precinct covers your loss location.
Miami-Dade Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Metrobus, Metrorail or Metromover, Miami-Dade Transit's dedicated lost and found team can help. Report within 24 hours for the best chance. ReportLost directs your report to them and follows up if you haven't heard back.
Miami-Dade Animal Services
A lost cat, dog or other pet needs immediate action. Miami-Dade Animal Services maintains a found pet database and can hold strays for a set period. Report your missing pet right away and check frequently. You can also file a priority lost pet report through ReportLost, which alerts local shelters, vets and community pet networks.
Town of Miami Lakes Town Hall
The Town of Miami Lakes also maintains a lost and found portal and pet notification system. ReportLost will notify the town on your behalf so your item is on their radar if someone turns it in locally.

Acting quickly helps, and you've just done it.
The sooner you report a lost item, the fresher the trail. Once you submit, the hard work of coordinating across services and keeping your search active is in our hands. Most items are found or claimed within the first few weeks, but your report will keep working for you for months if needed.
Report my lost item →Three Lakes sits in Miami-Dade County, where losing something means coordinating across the police non-emergency line, the transit authority's lost and found desk, animal services if it's a pet, and scattered community Facebook groups. Each system operates independently, and a lost wallet or ring can slip through the cracks if you miss the right window or the right channel.
ReportLost simplifies that. You file once, and we notify all the official channels, post to the key community groups, and keep your search active. The real difference: your report doesn't go dormant after a few days. It stays live for your entire search period, continuously matching new found items against your description, so you don't have to hunt through posts yourself or keep hoping someone will see your appeal on Nextdoor.
