How ReportLost works for Williamsburg residents
You file your report
Describe what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed for official channels and social alerts.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to Orange County police, Animal Services (if it's a pet), Lynx transit, and relevant local groups. No need to call each one separately.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report stays active and cross-references new found items, shelter intakes, and community posts. You get an alert if a credible match appears.
Where lost items end up in Williamsburg
Know who to contact and what ReportLost handles for you
Orange County Police & Sheriff
Items turned in to police are stored in evidence and property rooms. Each department logs found items, and you can call to ask if yours is there. ReportLost tells you which precinct covers your loss location and generates the exact information to provide when you call or visit.
Lynx Public Transit
Left your wallet or phone on a bus? Lynx (the Orange, Seminole, and Osceola transit system) holds found items for a set period. You'll need to call or visit to describe and claim what you lost. We ensure your report reaches Lynx's lost and found team so they're looking for your item.
Orlando International Airport (MCO)
If you lost something at the airport or on a flight, MCO's Lost and Found office is your first stop. Items are held and logged by the airport and individual airlines. Report directly to the airport or your airline. ReportLost can help you draft a clear claim and point you to the right contact.
Lost or Found Pets
Lost your dog or cat in or near Williamsburg? Orange County Animal Services takes in strays and hold them while searching for owners. Time matters with pets, so acting fast is critical. Post immediately to local pet groups and call Animal Services. We help you file a priority lost pet report, alert Animal Services and shelters in your area, and share your pet's description across community networks. File a priority lost pet report
Businesses & Public Spaces
Check with the specific store, restaurant, hotel, or venue where you lost your item. Many keep found items at customer service or lost and found desks for 30 days or more. ReportLost also posts your loss to local community groups and social channels so other residents can help spot your item.

The sooner you report, the sooner people start looking
Filing your report now means your loss is immediately in the system, shared with the right contacts, and actively tracked. Once you've submitted, you can focus on your day, knowing your report is working for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Williamsburg can feel scattered, especially when items end up in different places. Your phone might be turned in at a local business, your wallet at Orange County police evidence, your pet at Animal Services, or your bag on a Lynx bus. Each system operates separately, and calling around takes time you may not have.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report, and we make sure the right agencies and community channels know about your loss. Better yet, your report doesn't stop after one day. It stays active for the entire duration you choose (12 months), automatically checking new posts and arrivals so you don't have to refresh lost pet groups or check police databases yourself every morning.

Frequently asked questions about losing and finding items in Williamsburg
How long do police departments hold found items?
Most Orange County police departments hold found property for 30 to 90 days before disposal or donation. It's important to report your loss and call within this window. The exact timeline can vary by department, so contact your local precinct's property room for details.
How long does Lynx keep items left on buses?
Lynx typically holds lost and found items for at least 30 days. Call their Lost & Found line at 407-841-5969 (option 2) during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to ask about your item and arrange pickup at the main transfer facility.
What if I lost my pet? How long do shelters hold animals?
Orange County Animal Services generally holds stray animals for a minimum period while trying to locate owners. Call 3-1-1 or visit their website to report your pet and check if it's been brought in. The sooner you report, the sooner staff can identify and hold your pet.
Can I file a police report for a lost item, or only stolen items?
Most police departments distinguish between lost and found property (handled by evidence units) and theft reports. For lost items, contact the property and evidence section directly rather than filing a theft report. Seminole County Sheriff's Property line is 407-665-6692.
What if I lost something at MCO airport?
Contact MCO's Lost and Found office directly or submit a claim form through their website. Items left in the terminal are held by MCO; items on aircraft are held by the airline. You may also check with TSA if your item was lost at security.
Is ReportLost.org official or run by the police?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that helps you report losses and ensures the right local agencies and community channels are notified. We're not part of law enforcement, but we work with official channels like police property rooms, animal services, and transit systems to make sure your report reaches them. Filing with ReportLost complements, not replaces, calling police or animal services directly.
