Puerto Rico : a finder must hand the item to the municipal authority immediately, not to a police station, and the municipality publishes a public notice. Three months after that notice, an unclaimed item, or its value, is awarded to the finder, and an owner who gets the item back owes the finder one tenth of its value (31 L.P.R.A. §7966). (Civil Code of Puerto Rico, art. 749 (31 L.P.R.A. §7965))

One report goes to all the right places at once, and then stays active for a full year, continuously matching your item against new found items and local notices. You file once, we handle the routing, and your search keeps running in the background.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the police keep a lost item if it's turned in?

Police departments in Puerto Rico typically hold found items for a limited period. Check with the Policía de Puerto Rico or your local precinct for their specific retention policy. ReportLost keeps your report active for 12 months, so even if an item resurfaces weeks or months later, we're still searching for a match.

What if I lost something at the beach itself?

Try contacting the Cabo Rojo municipal office or the nearest lifeguard or beach facility first, they often have a small lost and found station. File a report with us as well, your description will be cross-referenced with any items that turn up in the area.

Is ReportLost official or does it replace the police?

ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with police or government. We complement official channels by coordinating your report across local police, municipal offices, and community networks, and by maintaining an active search for 12 months. You're still encouraged to file with police directly if you prefer, and ReportLost makes that easier by telling you exactly where and how.
