Where to Search in Wayland
Cochituate's main lost and found channels, and how ReportLost connects you to them
Wayland Police Department
The Wayland Police handles lost items turned in across town, including Cochituate. Items are held for a set period before disposal. We route your report directly to their desk and alert you to their process so you know exactly where to follow up.
Wayland Town Hall & Town Clerk
Town Hall in Cochituate handles general inquiries and lost property records. The Town Clerk's office can direct you to the right department if your item was turned in at a town building or public event. We generate the exact details your report needs to reach the right desk.
Wayland Animal Control
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Cochituate, the Wayland Dog Control Officer is your first call. They coordinate with local animal shelters and community rescue networks. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report so we can escalate to animal control and shelters within 60 miles right away.
MBTA Lost & Found
If you lost your item on a bus serving Cochituate or connecting through the MBTA network, call their lost and found hotline. We point you to the exact line number and procedures to file a claim with the transit authority.
Boston Logan Airport
Traveling through Logan? The airport lost and found office operates daily on the Arrivals level. Items are held under their retention policy. If your loss happened at the airport, we'll connect you to the right desk and follow up with TSA if needed.
Community & Social Posts
Wayland residents actively share found items on Facebook groups and local Nextdoor threads. Your report gets visibility in these channels so community members can match it to items they've seen or recovered.

Don't wait—every hour matters
The sooner your loss is reported, the fresher the trail. File your report now and let us take it from there.
Report my lost item →Cochituate sits at the heart of Wayland, a close-knit town where residents shop at local stores, visit Cochituate State Park, and gather at community spaces. But when you lose a wallet, phone, ring, or pet in town, the hunt becomes fragmented: police have one system, the town hall another, animal control a third, and social networks operate on their own. ReportLost simplifies that maze by taking your loss details once and routing them to every channel that matters.
Once you file a report with ReportLost, you don't have to refresh Facebook groups or check community boards every morning. Your description stays active, automatically matched against new found items and community posts across Wayland for 12 months. It's the difference between hoping someone notices and ensuring your loss is in front of the right people, every day, until it's found or your search window closes.
