How ReportLost Works
You File Your Report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right agencies and channels across Fall River.
We Route It Everywhere
Your report reaches the Fall River Police Department, City services, SRTA transit, Forever Paws and Animal Control, and gets posted to active local community groups. You get confirmation of each contact.
Automated Web Monitoring Finds Matches
For 6 to 12 months, our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Reddit, marketplace listings, and local announcements for posts matching your item's description, location, and date. You'll get an alert as soon as a credible match appearsâno manual checking required.
Where to Report in Fall River
Local resources and official channels. ReportLost coordinates contact with all of them for you.
Fall River Police Department
Report lost or stolen items directly. Call the non-emergency line during business hours or visit in person. We generate the exact details to include in your report and confirm which precinct has your case.
City of Fall River
City Hall manages lost items found in municipal buildings and public spaces. We help you know which city department to contact based on where your loss occurred.
SRTA Transit
If you left something on an SRTA bus, contact their lost and found directly. Items are typically held for a limited time. We point you to the right number and ensure transit is notified through our routing.
Lost Pet
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, contact Fall River Animal Control immediately and reach out to Forever Paws Animal Shelter. They house stray animals and can check for your pet. Time matters with lost pets, so act quickly, and then file a priority lost pet report with us to extend the search across regional shelters and pet networks.

Ready to Report?
The sooner you file, the sooner we start monitoring. Once your report is in, the process begins automaticallyâno more daily checking required.
Report my lost item âLosing something in Fall River means navigating separate systems: the police department handles theft reports, Forever Paws cares for lost animals, SRTA manages transit items, and dozens of community Facebook groups buzz with found-item posts. Staying on top of it all takes hours each day, refreshing sites and scrolling through groups, hoping someone posted about what you lost.
ReportLost simplifies this. File once, and we notify every relevant local service, post to active community channels, and keep watch across the entire webâFacebook, Nextdoor, Reddit, marketplaces, and beyondâso you can focus on your day. The moment a match surfaces, we alert you.
