Where lost items go in Hopkinton
Different services hold different types of lost property. Below is how to contact them, and how ReportLost helps you navigate each channel.
Hopkinton Police Department
The Police Department receives items handed in by residents and businesses. Items found in public spaces or turned in to the station may be logged into their lost and found system. We tell you which office to contact and handle the initial report where the department accepts third-party notifications.
Town Hall
Hopkinton Town Hall can direct you to the right department for your specific loss and provide information about lost and found procedures. Staff can also help clarify which town office is most likely to be holding your item.
Lost or found pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, contact the Hopkinton Animal Control Office or Baypath Humane Society immediately. These offices maintain records of found animals and can help reunite you with your pet. Lost pet reports are treated as high priority and should be filed right away.

Shops and public venues
Many local businesses, restaurants, and community spaces keep lost items at the front desk or customer service counter. If you lost something at a specific location, call that business directly. ReportLost can help you frame the details needed when you call.
Boston Logan Airport
If you lost something while traveling from or to Logan Airport, which is about 30 miles northeast of Hopkinton, contact the airport's Lost and Found office directly. Items left in public airport areas are held separately from airline-specific losses.

Report my lost item →Losing something valuable, whether a watch, passport, or set of keys, brings immediate stress. In Hopkinton, lost property ends up in different places depending on where you lost it: the Police Department handles items turned in to police, Animal Control manages stray pets, local businesses keep found items on their own shelves, and items left on the road may be held by the town. Without a central registry, you often have to call multiple offices and check back repeatedly, unsure if anyone has your belongings.
ReportLost simplifies this process. You file once with us, and we route your report to the Hopkinton Police Department and other relevant local services where your item might be held. We generate the exact information each office needs and handle the coordination so you don't have to repeat your story. Most importantly, your report stays active for 12 months, continuing to search for matches against new found items and posts. You don't have to refresh Facebook groups or call the Police Department weekly, your report works for you in the background.
