How ReportLost Works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. Add details like color, brand, or any identifying marks. We use this information to alert the right services in Westchester and surrounding Miami-Dade areas.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Miami-Dade Police, animal shelters if it's a pet, airport lost and found if applicable, transit services, and active community networks. You don't have to call each one yourself.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire 6 or 12 month search period, your report automatically cross-references new lost and found posts, community updates, and marketplace listings. You'll get an alert if a credible match appears, so you're not checking social media and local sites every day.
Where to Report in Westchester
The main services that handle lost items in the area. ReportLost contacts them on your behalf.
Miami-Dade Police
File a lost property report with Miami-Dade Police, which covers Westchester. You can report online or call the non-emergency line. We generate the exact details to include and tell you which precinct handles your location.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, Miami-Dade Animal Services and the Humane Society of Westchester maintain the official lost pet database. Both accept in-person and phone reports. Reporting immediately is critical, and our system ensures your pet's description reaches the right shelters and rescue networks. File a priority lost pet report.
Miami International Airport
If your item was lost at MIA while traveling through or from the airport, the Lost and Found facility is your destination. Located in North Terminal D on Level 4, it's open daily. We point you to the exact terminal and contact info.
Miami-Dade Transit (Metrorail & Metrobus)
Left something on a Metrorail train, Metromover, or Metrobus traveling through Westchester? Report it to transit's lost and found service. We help you describe the bus route, train line, and time so they can locate it quickly.
Westchester City Hall
For items lost in public spaces, parks, or city facilities in Westchester, contact the city government. We ensure your report reaches the appropriate department.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your odds.
Getting your loss into the system quickly means it reaches the right hands while the item is still fresh and recoverable. Once your report is filed, you can stop worrying about the phone calls and the daily site checks. Your active report takes it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Westchester can feel scattered. You don't know whether to contact Miami-Dade Police, call the Humane Society if it's a pet, check Metrorail's lost and found if it happened on transit, or post across five different Facebook groups and Nextdoor. Each service keeps its own records, and there's no central place where everything converges.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report covers all the channels at once, and then keeps working for you across the entire search window. Instead of refreshing lost pet posts and marketplace listings daily, your active report continues to match incoming found items against your description, alerting you the moment something credible surfaces. It's the shortcut Westchester residents deserve.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Miami-Dade Police keep a lost property report on file?
Once you file a lost property report with Miami-Dade Police, it remains in their system. Check with the non-emergency line (305-476-5423) or your local precinct for specific retention timelines. ReportLost keeps your active report circulating for 12 months, independently of police records.
If I find my lost pet, does my report automatically close?
No, you should contact us and let us know your pet has been found so we can stop the active search. Similarly, if you recover a lost item from any of the services we alert, let us know so we can close your report.
Can ReportLost help me if I lost something on Metrorail or a Metrobus?
Yes. We'll route your report to Miami-Dade Transit's lost and found department (call 786-469-5564). The sooner you report, the sooner the system can search for your item. Our active report also keeps checking for matches across transit channels during your search window.
What if I lost something at Miami International Airport?
We connect your report to MIA's Lost and Found facility (North Terminal D, Level 4, open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, call 1-888-761-8227). Provide as much detail as possible about where you lost it (security line, gate, baggage claim, etc.) so they can locate it faster.
How quickly will I know if my lost item shows up?
Once your report is active, we continuously cross-reference new found items, community posts, and marketplace listings against your description. You'll receive an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check manually.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of Miami-Dade Police or any government agency. We don't replace official reporting, we accelerate and simplify it. We file your report with the right authorities and keep a parallel active search running on your behalf. If your item involves a crime, you should also file a police report separately.
