Where Your Report Goes in Lawrence
We connect you with every relevant local service.
Lawrence Police Department
The first stop for most lost items. The Lawrence Police Department maintains a lost and found and logs reports that help officers and community members reunite people with their belongings. We ensure your report reaches them with all the specifics they need to investigate and track your item.
City of Lawrence Services
Lawrence City Hall coordinates municipal lost and found services and can direct your report to the right department depending on where you lost your item. We generate the correct contact information and outline so your report doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Local Transit Services
If you left something on a bus or at a transit stop, Lawrence-area public transit systems maintain their own lost and found logs. We connect your report to MeVa and other local carriers so items found on vehicles reach you quickly.
Lawrence Municipal Airport
The Lawrence Municipal Airport, located in nearby North Andover, handles lost items from passenger check-ins, security, and terminals. We ensure your report reaches their lost and found desk if your item was left at the airport.
Merrimack Health Lost and Found
Merrimack Health operates a 24/7 lost and found service for items left at the hospital facility in Lawrence. If you think your item was left there, we'll route your report to their coordinator right away.
Lost Pet Support
If you've lost a pet, Lawrence Animal Control and local shelters are your critical partners. Facebook groups like Lawrence, MA Lost & Found Pets connect the community, and we'll help you report to all the right places. For a specialized lost pet report with extra reach, file a priority lost pet report.

Time Matters, But You're Not Alone
The sooner you report a loss, the better your chances of recovery. Once your report is filed, you can relax knowing that ReportLost is watching every corner of the web for you. Early action + continuous monitoring = the best possible outcome.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Lawrence means navigating multiple phone lines, websites, and social channels separately. The police take your report, the hospital has its own lost and found desk, transit services manage a different system, and the community shares found items across scattered Facebook groups. It's exhausting—and easy to miss the post where your item turns up.
ReportLost streamlines this chaos. One report reaches all the right people at once. And instead of you refreshing Facebook and Nextdoor every day for weeks, our automated monitoring scans the entire local web 24/7, cross-referencing descriptions, locations, and dates. The moment someone posts "found" that matches yours, you'll know. You've filed the report; now let us do the searching.
