Lost something in Ponce? We'll report it and track it down for you.
File one report with us and we notify the Policía Municipal de Ponce, Ponce City Hall, local lost and found offices, and monitor social channels and marketplaces across Puerto Rico automatically for months, so you don't have to check every day.
What did you lose?
If there isn’t an adequate suggestion, select “Other – My item isn’t listed” and enter the item’s category. You can provide details later.
Publishing your report is free and your details stay private. The assisted search is a separate paid service, described in the Terms.
Recent activity
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))

How ReportLost Works
You tell us what you lost
Share details about your item, where you left it, and when. We gather everything the police and local offices need in one simple form.
We route it to the right places
Your report reaches the Policía Municipal de Ponce, relevant city offices, and local merchants or venues. No back-and-forth between you and multiple services.
We scan the web continuously for matches
Our system searches Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local marketplaces, and other public channels repeatedly over 12 months. The moment a credible match appears, you get an alert. You're done waiting and worrying.
Where to report your loss in Ponce
The main channels, and what ReportLost does on your behalf
Policía Municipal de Ponce
File a report with the municipal police if your lost item was stolen, if you lost it in a public space where a crime may have occurred, or if you simply want an official incident number. The police department headquarters are located on Avenida Las Américas and Carretera Pámpanos. We identify the correct precinct for your loss location and help you draft the details they'll need.
Ponce City Hall
City Hall maintains records of lost and found items turned in to municipal facilities and can help coordinate with public venues. Reach out if your item was lost at a city-run location or event. We point you to the right department and provide the exact information to include.
Mercedita International Airport
If you left your item at the Ponce airport (PSE), contact the airport lost and found directly. Response times typically range from several business days to a couple of weeks. ReportLost will help you gather the right flight and terminal details to speed up your claim.
Lost pet in Ponce?
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, acting fast matters. Reach out to local shelters, alert rescue networks across Puerto Rico, and post on pet-specific channels. We can help coordinate those notifications, but for the full toolkit and real-time community support, file a priority lost pet report.
The Humane Society of Puerto Rico|PawBoost Lost Pets (Ponce area)
Local shops, restaurants & venues
If you lost your item in a restaurant, bar, mall, hotel, or retail store, the business's lost and found is your first stop. Call ahead to describe what you left behind. We help you prepare a clear description and suggest which venues to contact based on your loss location.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The longer you wait, the harder the search becomes
Reporting early improves your chances. Once your information is in our system, the monitoring starts, and you've alerted everyone who needs to know. That peace of mind lets you focus on other things while we keep looking.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Ponce can feel scattered. Between contacting the police precinct, checking with individual shops and venues, posting across multiple Facebook groups, and refreshing marketplace listings every other day, the search fragments fast. Each service keeps its own records, and coordinating them takes persistence.
ReportLost consolidates that effort. Submit your loss once, and we ensure the Policía Municipal de Ponce, Ponce City Hall, and all relevant local channels receive your details. Then we do the hardest part: we monitor Puerto Rico's web continuously, hunting for posts matching your item's description, location, and timeframe. You get notified when we find a solid lead, leaving you free to get on with your day while the search runs in the background.

Restaurants, banks, and retail stores cluster here. Wallets, phones, and shopping bags are frequently left behind in busy spots.

Common questions about lost and found in Ponce
How long does the Policía Municipal de Ponce hold lost items?
Items turned in to police are typically held for a set period (check with your local precinct or City Hall for the exact timeframe). We recommend contacting them as soon as possible after reporting your loss, as the sooner you claim an item, the better.
What if I lost my item at the Mercedita International Airport?
The airport's lost and found usually responds within 10 business days or more. Call them directly with your flight number, terminal, and a detailed description. ReportLost can help you prepare that information so your inquiry is as clear and complete as possible.
How can I post about my lost item on Ponce's Facebook groups?
Search for local Ponce lost and found groups on Facebook, request to join if membership is required, and post a clear photo and description. ReportLost will scan these groups automatically and alert you if a match appears, so you don't have to refresh them constantly yourself.
What should I do if I think I found my item on a marketplace or in a Facebook post?
ReportLost will notify you of potential matches. Reach out to the seller or poster directly to verify ownership (ask for a photo from a different angle, or details only the real owner would know). If it's yours, arrange a safe meetup or contact the police for recovery assistance.
Can ReportLost replace filing a police report?
ReportLost is an independent service that complements the police. If theft is involved or if you need an official incident report for insurance, you must file directly with the Policía Municipal de Ponce. ReportLost routes your information there and monitors channels the police may not have time to check constantly.
How long does ReportLost monitor for my item?
We scan social media, marketplaces, and local channels continuously for 12 months, depending on the item type. The longer an item is missing, the harder it becomes to find, but we don't give up early. You'll be notified the moment a credible match surfaces.
