How it works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details that matter: the item's appearance, where you last had it, any distinguishing marks. No back-and-forth needed.
We notify the right channels
We submit your report to the Treasure Island Police Property & Evidence unit, post alerts to local community networks, and alert relevant businesses or venues. You're covered on multiple fronts at once.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report automatically cross-references new found items, community posts, and local marketplace activity. You get an alert the moment we spot a credible match, so you don't have to check every day.
Where lost items typically turn up
And how to report them
Treasure Island Police
The Police Department's Property & Evidence unit holds items found on city streets, in parks, and at public events. If your loss happened anywhere in town, they're often the first stop. We generate the exact information you'll need and tell you which precinct covers your area.
Hotels, restaurants & beaches
Lost a wallet at a beachfront bar, or a ring by the shore? Staff at Treasure Island's hotels, restaurants, and public beach areas hold items at their front desks or lost-and-found counters. We alert you to the key venues based on your loss location and help you with the contact details.
Tampa International Airport
If your loss happened at TPA, which serves the Tampa Bay region including Treasure Island, the airport's Lost and Found holds items Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We point you to the right desk and the steps to file a claim.
PSTA Transit
Lost your phone or bag on a Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority bus? PSTA routes serve Treasure Island and the surrounding area. Transit lost-and-founds hold items for a set period. We help you navigate the reporting process and stay on top of the timeline.
Lost pet
Your dog or cat is missing? Act immediately and reach out to animal control and local shelters in Pinellas County, which covers Treasure Island. Time is critical for a lost pet. We help you get the word out fast, and we can file a priority lost pet report that alerts shelters and rescue networks across the region.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Don't wait to report
The sooner you file, the sooner we can route your report and activate the search. Your report stays with us, working behind the scenes, for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something on Treasure Island throws you into a maze of separate systems. Is it with the police? A hotel? A beach bar? Did someone post it on Facebook? Treasure Island's small size makes it feel manageable until you realize you need to call half a dozen places and refresh community groups for weeks.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. One report goes everywhere it needs to go at once, and then we keep searching for you. Instead of retracing your steps across multiple websites and phone calls, your report stays active, quietly matching your lost item against new found reports and community activity for months. We handle the legwork so you can relax.
Common places to lose something on Treasure Island
Where we focus our search efforts
Beach and waterfront
Wallets, keys, phones, and jewelry slip out on the sand, near water access points, and at public beach facilities. We check with lifeguard stations and beachfront businesses.
Gulf Boulevard corridor
The main stretch of shops, restaurants, and hotels along Gulf Blvd is a major loss hotspot. Items left in businesses or public spaces often end up at store counters or with the police.

City parks and recreational facilities see lost purses, glasses, and bags. Staff at these venues often collect and hold found items temporarily.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Treasure Island Police hold lost items?
The Property & Evidence unit typically holds items for a set period before disposal. We recommend reporting within the first few days, and your report stays active while they're still searching, so you're alerted if your item turns up.
What if my item was lost at a business or restaurant?
Most Treasure Island businesses keep found items for 30 to 60 days at the front desk. We identify relevant venues based on your loss location and help you reach the right manager or owner. Our report also stays active in case the item moves (e.g., donated or turned over to police).
Do I need to report directly to the police if I use ReportLost?
No. We handle submitting your report to the Treasure Island Police Property & Evidence unit as part of our service. You also get the contact info so you can follow up directly if you prefer, but you won't have to make that call alone.
How are you different from just posting on Treasure Island Facebook groups?
Posting on Facebook is one piece of the puzzle, but your post disappears in the feed within hours. We route your report to police, businesses, and community channels at the same time, and we keep your report active and matching against new found items for up to a year. You're not relying on others to scroll back and spot your post.
What if I lost my pet on Treasure Island?
Lost pets need immediate action. We help you file a priority report that goes to local animal shelters, rescue networks, and community groups across Pinellas County. Visit our lost pet report form to get started right away.
Is ReportLost official, or does it replace the police?
ReportLost is an independent service. We're not affiliated with the Treasure Island Police Department or any government agency, but we work alongside them by submitting your report to the right official channels. We complement traditional lost-and-found systems; we don't replace them. Our job is to save you time and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
