How it works
You report your loss
Describe the item you lost, where, and when. We collect the details needed to route your report to the right place, whether that's the police department, MATA transit, or a local business.
We route it to the right channels
We file your report where departments accept third-party filings and tell you the exact steps and contact information for locations where you'll need to check directly. Your report goes to Hudson Police's lost and found, local animal control if relevant, or the appropriate venue.
Your report stays active
You don't have to refresh lost pet sites or police databases every day. Your report keeps searching for matches against new found items and announcements across relevant local channels. You'll get an alert if a credible match appears.
Where your report goes
We file your report and tell you exactly where to follow up
Hudson Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found for items turned in to the station. Property can be retrieved by appointment only. We file your report here where the department accepts third-party notifications, and provide you with the contact information and office location to check on your item or arrange pickup.
MATA Transit
If you left your item on a MATA bus in Hudson, the transit system's lost and found office is your recovery point. We direct your report to MATA and confirm the office location and hours so you can follow up directly. Items held are subject to transit's retention policy.
Town Hall and City Services
For items lost at municipal buildings or town events, the Town Clerk's office can help direct you to the right department. We generate the exact information you need to provide when you call, based on where your loss occurred.
Lost pets
Lost dogs and cats require rapid local response. Hudson's animal control is the first call, and community networks like the Hudson, MA Lost & Found Pets Facebook group amplify the search. We notify the right channels immediately and keep your report active across local pet recovery sites.

Report my lost item →Losing an item in Hudson can mean navigating multiple agencies, each with separate intake procedures and holding schedules. A wallet might end up at the police station, a phone with a local business, a pet with animal control. Without a coordinated approach, important time passes before you're directed to the right desk.
ReportLost simplifies that process. One report to us, and your lost item gets routed to the Hudson Police Department's property and evidence section, MATA transit (if relevant), local animal control, and the key community channels where people post found items. Your report stays active for 12 months, continuing to match against new found item announcements so you don't have to monitor the town's Facebook groups and shelters yourself.
