Report my lost item →Winter Park residents know the frustration: lose your wallet at a downtown café, a phone on a bus, or a bag at a local store, and you're juggling calls to the police, checking multiple Facebook groups, scanning Nextdoor posts, and hoping someone turns it in.

ReportLost shortcuts that entire process. One submission, one unified search that runs continuously behind the scenes. We file the right report with Winter Park Police, notify the found-item databases and community channels they monitor, and keep your report active and matching against newly logged items for months. Once you report, you've done the hardest part, the system takes it from there.
