Where lost items go in Carver
Understanding the local recovery network
Carver Police Department
The Police Department holds lost property found in public spaces, stores, and on town roads. Items are typically retained for a period before being disposed of, so early reporting is important. We file your report with them and provide you the exact contact information and steps to follow up directly.
Carver Animal Control
Lost or found dogs, cats, and injured wildlife are reported to Animal Control. Carver has no municipal animal shelter, so found animals are typically held by Animal Control or transferred to regional facilities. ReportLost will make sure your lost pet report reaches Animal Control and help you understand next steps.
Retail and public venues
Stores, restaurants, parking areas, and recreational spots in town often keep lost items in their own lost and found for a set period. If you lost something at a specific business or location, check there first or ask to speak with a manager about their procedures.
Boston Logan Airport
If your item was lost at Logan Airport, the Lost and Found Office is located on the Arrivals level between Terminals C and E. They're open daily from 7 AM to 8 PM. For items left at TSA security, contact the TSA Lost and Found line directly.
Public transit
If you lost something on an MBTA bus or regional transit, contact the system's lost and found line. Items found on buses are held for a limited time. We generate the exact information you need to call the right department and describe your item clearly.

Ready to file your report?
The sooner you report a loss, the sooner we can start coordinating with the right Carver offices and begin the 12-month active search across local channels.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Carver means contacting multiple offices, depending on what went missing. Items left behind on buses, in shops, or on the street can end up with Carver Police; lost or injured animals go to Animal Control; belongings found at Logan Airport or on regional transit require separate channels entirely. Without a central registry, it's easy to waste time calling the wrong desk or to miss a recovery altogether.
ReportLost simplifies the process by taking your report once and routing it to the competent authority in Carver, then keeping your description active across local recovery channels for a full year. Once you file, you're no longer chasing leads yourself, the search continues on your behalf.
