Lost something in Wellington? Here is where to report it.
File a single report and we route it to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Palm Beach International Airport Lost & Found if applicable, PalmTran transit services, and active local Facebook groups. We then monitor the web continuously for matches across marketplaces, community posts, and social channels so you don't have to check daily.

Start Now, Stop Worrying Later
The sooner you file a report, the sooner our system begins monitoring. You'll have peace of mind knowing that a dedicated search is underway across every platform that matters in Wellington, while you go about your day.
Report my lost item →Wellington's equestrian charm and growing business district mean items disappear in many places: the Horse Park, shopping centers along Forest Hill Boulevard, PalmTran buses, Palm Beach International Airport, and neighborhood parks. Finding what you've lost usually means calling the Sheriff's Office, checking the airport separately, messaging transit customer service, and scrolling through Facebook groups yourself. It's fragmented and exhausting, especially if days pass before you think to check each place.
ReportLost simplifies everything. One report reaches all the right places at once. But the real difference is what happens next: we don't ask you to monitor the web. Our automated system watches for "found" posts and announcements across the entire web, day and night, for months. You get a quiet notification the moment something matches your description and location. Report once, then focus on life while we keep looking.

Where do I physically retrieve my item once it's found?
Depending on where your item was lost, you'll collect it from the Sheriff's Office (if found during a police response), the airport's Lost & Found office, or the transit depot. We'll have provided those details when we filed your report.

How often does ReportLost monitor the web?
Our system performs automated checks every few days across marketplaces, social media, community pages, and local announcements. We continue monitoring for 12 months depending on the item and circumstances.
