How ReportLost works in Foxborough
You report your loss
Describe the item you've lost and where you last had it. We collect the information needed to reach the right local office.
We route it to the right place
Your report goes directly to the Foxborough Police Department's lost and found, plus any other relevant local services. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
Your report keeps searching
For a full year, your report stays active and automatically matches against new found items reported in the community. You get an alert as soon as a potential match appears.
Where your lost item may be
Foxborough has several systems for handling lost property. Here's what each handles and how to check directly.
Foxborough Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found for property reported or turned in within Foxborough. Items are held and matched against loss reports. Contact Officer Cannata directly, or we file the report with the right department and give you the exact steps to follow up.
Town of Foxborough Offices & Venues
Items left at Town Hall, municipal buildings, libraries, parks, or community centers are typically held by each location. If you lost something at a public building or town event, call the main Town office and they can direct you to the right department or venue.
Lost or missing pet
If you've lost a dog or cat, contact the Foxborough Animal Control immediately. They work with local shelters and maintain records of missing animals in town. Massachusetts law requires dogs to be held for a minimum of 7 days. File a priority lost pet report with us as well, and we'll alert the local pet networks and shelters.
Boston Logan Airport
If you lost an item during travel to or from the region, Boston Logan's lost and found office is on the Arrivals level between Terminals C and E. Items are held for 30 days. TSA has a separate lost and found for items left at security checkpoints.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Foxborough means checking with several places: the Police Department, local businesses, venues you've visited, and community networks. Each has its own system and timeline. ReportLost simplifies this by filing a single report that reaches the departments handling lost property and stays active on your behalf for 12 months, so the search continues even after you've moved on.
Once you've reported through us, the Foxborough Police Department's property officer takes it from there. You don't have to call back, check multiple places, or refresh community pages every day. Your report searches for matches automatically, and you'll be notified if something matches your description. For pets, we also connect you to Animal Control and the local lost pet network.

What if I lost something at a local business or restaurant?

Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that files reports on your behalf with local agencies like the Foxborough Police Department. It doesn't replace direct contact with authorities, but it ensures your report reaches the right department and stays active longer than you could track it yourself. We file where the Police Department accepts third-party reports, and provide you with direct contact information so you can follow up directly if needed.
