How ReportLost works in Eastham
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to alert the right local departments and search channels.
We route your report to the right places
Your report goes to the Eastham Police Department's lost property log, Cape Cod Regional Transit if you lost something on the bus, and the relevant local venues. We also post to community groups so neighbors can help.
Your report keeps searching
While you go about your day, your report stays active and cross-checks new found-item posts, community posts, and marketplace listings. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to refresh Facebook or call around.
Where to report a lost item in Eastham
Each channel handles different types of loss. ReportLost files where it can on your behalf and tells you exactly which office or number to call where it doesn't.
Eastham Police Department
The Police Department logs lost and found reports and holds property found on public streets and in Town buildings. Call or visit the station to file a report in person or by phone. We generate the exact information you'll need to provide and can file the report directly if the department accepts third-party reports.
Cape Cod Regional Transit (Bus)
If you left something on a Cape Cod Regional Transit bus, call their lost and found directly. Items are held for a period before being discarded or donated. We let you know which contact number applies to your route so you can reach the right depot.
Shops, restaurants, and venues
Businesses along Route 6 and throughout Eastham typically hold found items at the front desk for 30 to 90 days. Check directly with the place where you believe you left the item, or we can point you to the right desk and manager contact if you're not sure who to call.
Boston Logan International Airport
If your loss occurred at Boston Logan (about an hour's drive from Eastham), the airport has a dedicated lost and found office that holds items free of charge. Report directly through Massport or call their customer service line.
Lost pet
If you've lost a dog or cat in Eastham, contact the Eastham Police Department Animal Control Officer or the Eastham Dog Owners' Association's Lost Dog Network right away. Community groups on Facebook and local networks mobilize quickly to help reunite pets with their families. File a priority lost pet report.
