To report / list the found property or pet, you will need to click on the 2nd icon from the bottom left of your country's homepage labeled, Report Found Item This will enter your information into our Found Database to be viewed by potential owners of the lost property. It is imperative that accurate and relevant information is reported in your submission.

Please note that we recommend omitting one important, but not obvious characteristic about the found property or pet to help ensure the correct owner is identified. When someone contacts you about your found ad, this omission will help you identify the true owner, and avoid scam artists. For pets, we recommend that you not reveal the gender. While we ask for gender on our website, and it is used for our matching service, it is not revealed to users.

Submit your contact information. Remember that The Internet Lost and Found does not ask for your personal information for your ad, and we do not require you to provide it. All that is required is an email address and phone number. Please see our privacy policy for more information
