Losing something valuable in Brazil feels like a setback, especially when lost and found services are scattered across different agencies, businesses, and social media. The Brazil Police Department, Clay County Sheriff's Office, and local shops all handle found items, but they don't automatically talk to each other, leaving you to make calls and post messages in multiple places.

ReportLost simplifies the process. File once, and we route your report to the right local authorities, businesses, and community channels. Then your report stays active, continuously searching for a match across new posts and found item announcements, so you can move forward knowing the search is underway without having to refresh Facebook or call around every day.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the police don't find my item right away?

Items in police lost and found are typically held for 30 to 90 days, depending on the type. Your ReportLost report stays active for 12 months, continuing to search for matches even after the initial police report period ends. Many items resurface weeks or months later through community channels or as other people report their finds.

How long does it take to file a report with the police directly?

You can call Brazil Police at 812-446-2211 extension 208 during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) to file a report. ReportLost files your report and notifies them for you, saving you the call.

Where should I check if my item was found?

Start with the police department (812-446-2211 ext. 208), then City Hall (812-443-2221) if you lost it in a municipal space. Local shops and restaurants where you last had your item should also be contacted. ReportLost alerts all these places and watches community posts so you don't have to make every call yourself.

What if I lost a pet in Brazil?

Contact the Lost & Found Pets in Brazil, IN Facebook group immediately, notify the police, and check with local animal shelters and vets. A priority lost pet report from ReportLost gets your pet's information to the right people and community channels fast.

What if I lost my item in an unincorporated area of Clay County?
