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))

Report my lost item →Losing something in Vega Alta can feel like chasing leads across different offices and groups with no central point. The Policía Municipal handles reports, the town's municipal office fields questions about lost items at public spaces, and community members post discoveries on Facebook and local networks, but none of these channels automatically talk to each other. You end up repeating the same details to each place separately.
ReportLost bridges that gap. One detailed report to us, and we connect you to the police, municipal services, and active community channels in Vega Alta. Better yet, your report stays active as we continuously cross-check new found items, marketplace posts, and community announcements against your description, so you don't have to refresh social media or call around every day. Once you've reported, the system works for you while you move forward.
