How ReportLost Works for Marlborough
You File Your Report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to notify the right local agencies and post to community channels without you having to contact each one separately.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes directly to the Marlborough Police Department, City Hall, MBTA transit services if applicable, local animal control for pets, and relevant Facebook groups and community networks—all from one submission.
Your Report Keeps Searching for a Match
Rather than checking Facebook groups and lost-pet sites yourself every day, your active report continues matching against new found-item posts, shelter intakes, and community alerts. You'll get notified if a credible match appears, so you can focus on your day.

Report my lost item →Marlborough residents know the panic of a lost wallet, phone, or pet. Between checking the Police Department, contacting City Hall, posting in local Facebook groups, and calling animal shelters, the process quickly becomes scattered and time-consuming. Different agencies operate separate systems, and there's no guarantee your report reaches everyone who might help.
ReportLost simplifies everything. One form reaches the Marlborough Police Department, transit services, local shelters, and the community channels where lost items are often spotted and shared. More importantly, your report doesn't go silent after you file it; it stays active, continuously comparing new found-item alerts and posts against your description. You won't have to re-post or manually check sites every day. We handle the ongoing search while you wait for news.
