We route to the right places
Your report goes to the Greenfield Police Department, FRTA if a bus was involved, or the relevant agency. We provide you the exact contact, phone, and steps to follow up if needed.

Where to report in Greenfield
Each channel below handles certain losses. ReportLost coordinates across all of them.
Greenfield Police Department
The Greenfield Police maintains a lost and found vault for items turned in by residents and businesses. Call or visit to describe your item and check if it has been recovered. We identify the right precinct coverage for your loss location and generate the exact description to provide.
FRTA Bus Lost & Found
Items left on Franklin Regional Transit Authority buses are collected and held at their office. Call the Customer Call Center, describe your item, and schedule a time to pick it up. Bring photo ID when you visit. We point you to the right contact and help you describe what you lost.
Local businesses and public venues
Stores, restaurants, libraries, and community centers in Greenfield often keep found items for a period before turning them over to police. Contacting the business directly where you lost your earrings or phone is often the fastest route. When you report to ReportLost, we encourage you to also reach out to the specific location.
Lost or found pet
If you've lost a dog or cat, contact the Greenfield Animal Control Officer immediately. The Franklin County Regional Dog Shelter also holds stray and lost animals. Report lost pet sightings through the community group and animal control at once.

Ready to file your report?
The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins across all channels. Once filed, you won't have to reach out to each place separately.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Greenfield, whether it's a wallet dropped downtown, a watch left on a bus, or eyeglasses at a local shop, sets off a fragmented search. The police department holds found items, FRTA manages transit losses, and local Facebook groups buzz with recovery posts, but coordinating across all of them takes time you may not have when you're stressed about what's missing.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing your loss once and routing it to every agency that might hold your item. We generate the exact information each department needs, we tell you which office covers your location, and we file the report where third-party submissions are accepted. Then our system monitors the most active local groups and channels for a full year, matching new found items against your description so your search continues on your behalf.
