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 report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details that matter and generate a clear report ready to share with the right authorities and local groups.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Yabucoa Police Department, municipal offices, animal control networks (if applicable), and relevant lost-and-found channels. You don't have to figure out who to call.
Your report keeps searching for you
While you move forward, your report remains active for 12 months. We cross-reference new found-item posts, community listings, and alerts against your description so you don't have to check social media and websites every day. You get notified the moment a credible match appears.
Where to Report & Claim Lost Items
Yabucoa's main recovery channels, and how ReportLost connects you to all of them at once
Yabucoa Police Department
The local police office covers Yabucoa, Las Piedras, Maunabo, and Naguabo. Filing a report here creates an official record and helps police connect recovered items to missing-person reports. ReportLost generates the exact information you'll need and confirms which precinct covers your location.
Yabucoa Municipal Government
The town's administrative office sometimes holds items turned in to local employees or found on municipal property (parks, public buildings, gathering spots). Calling ahead saves you a trip; ReportLost tells you what information to have ready.
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (San Juan)
If you lost your item while traveling through the main Puerto Rico airport, it may be in airport lost and found or with TSA. Larger airports keep items longer, but reporting through the dedicated system speeds recovery. We point you to the right form.
Lost & Found Pets
Animal rescues and shelters across Puerto Rico help reunite lost dogs, cats, and other pets. The Humane Society of Puerto Rico and local rescue groups actively post found animals on social media and their own databases. If you've lost a pet, file a priority lost pet report.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the better your odds.
Fresh reports reach local networks faster and catch items still circulating in community channels. Once your loss is documented, you can step back, confident that ReportLost is matching your description against new found-item posts and alerts for months to come.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Yabucoa can feel isolating, especially when local services operate separately and word-of-mouth is your only backup. The police take reports, the municipality holds items, social media groups post finds, and animal rescues track strays, but coordinating between all of them takes time and multiple phone calls.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once, and we notify the Yabucoa Police Department, municipal lost-and-found channels, and community networks on your behalf. Most importantly, your report doesn't expire after a few days, it stays active and keeps cross-checking new posts and found-item listings for months, so you can breathe easier knowing the search continues automatically.
Common Areas Where Items Are Lost
Yabucoa's busy zones and what to do if you lost something there
Plaza de los Veteranos & Downtown
The town center is where locals gather, shop, and meet. Wallets, phones, and bags frequently turn up in nearby shops and with local merchants. Check the municipal office and nearby storefronts first, then file a report to alert all channels at once.
Parque Comunas
A popular community park and recreational area where families and visitors spend time. Items left on benches or near sports areas may be held by park staff or turned in to the municipality. ReportLost notifies both.
Beach & Coastal Roads (Lucia Beach Area)
Yabucoa's beaches draw locals and tourists. Valuables lost near the water or parking areas often end up with lifeguards, beach vendors, or nearby businesses. Reporting quickly maximizes the chance of recovery before beach traffic moves the item.
Local Shops & Markets
Small retailers, bakeries, and market stalls throughout town often hold items left by customers. Proprietors are usually helpful but may not remember for long. A formal report to police and the municipality ensures visibility.
Community Networks & Social Channels
Where Yabucoa residents post and search for lost items
Official municipal Facebook page where local government posts announcements and community members share local news and lost-item alerts.
Facebook group focused on animal rescue and welfare in the wider Puerto Rico region, including lost and found pet posts.
Yabucoa and east-coast Puerto Rico community groups where residents post found items and ask for help locating lost belongings.
Neighborhood-based social app where Yabucoa residents report lost items and found goods to neighbors nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do police hold unclaimed lost items in Yabucoa?
Puerto Rico police departments typically hold items for a set period before disposal or donation. Contact the Yabucoa Police Department at 787-852-1224 Ext. 4110 to ask about their specific retention policy. ReportLost ensures your report is filed and indexed so you're not forgotten after a few weeks.
What if my lost item is a pet?
Lost pets require immediate action. Contact The Humane Society of Puerto Rico (787) 720-6038 and local rescue groups right away. File a lost pet report with ReportLost to activate urgent alerts across community networks and animal welfare channels for the full 6 or 12-month period.
Do I need to report to the municipality as well as the police?
If your item was lost in a public place like a park or municipal building, the municipality may receive it separately from police. ReportLost notifies both, so you don't have to make two calls. One report covers both channels.
How does ReportLost notify me if my item is found?
We continuously cross-reference your report against new found-item posts on social media, community boards, and local listings. If a credible match appears, we notify you by email with details so you can follow up. You don't have to monitor websites yourself.
What if I lost something while traveling through SJU airport?
The Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (San Juan) has a dedicated lost and found website (sju.lostandfoundsite.net). File a claim there immediately, then file with ReportLost to keep your item in circulation and alert local networks in case it left the airport.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace reporting to police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not instead of them. We are not the police, the municipality, or a government agency. We partner with local authorities and community networks to broadcast your report and keep it active for months. You should always file with official sources like the Yabucoa Police Department; we make sure that happens and amplify your report across other channels too.
