Where lost items go in Ludlow
Each channel handles its own found items, but we connect you to all of them.
Ludlow Police Department
The Police Department's Lost and Found is the central reporting point for items turned in by residents and businesses across town. We file your report directly with them and provide you with their contact details and location.
Town Hall and municipal offices
Lost items found in town buildings or at municipal events may be held at Town Hall. We provide you with the direct line and office information so you can describe your item and check if it's been turned in.
Shops, restaurants, and public venues
Wallets, phones, glasses, jewelry, and personal belongings left in local businesses are typically kept at the customer service desk. We generate the checklist and key details to share with managers when you contact them.

Report my lost item →Losing something important in Ludlow, whether it's a watch, passport, wallet, or set of keys, means navigating separate channels: the Police Department, Town Hall, local shops and restaurants, and if it's a pet, animal control. Each office keeps found items for a set period, then they move on. Reporting to each one individually takes time you may not have when you're worried about what you've lost.
ReportLost simplifies that process by filing your report with the right departments and venues at once, then keeping your search active for a full year. Once your report is submitted, our system continues to match your description against new found items, shelter intakes, and community posts across relevant channels. You stay informed without having to repeat the same search yourself or check multiple sources day after day.
