Where property goes in Marshfield
Understanding the lost and found system
Marshfield Police Department
The Police Department's Property & Lost and Found office is the main repository for items turned in by the public. Anyone can report a lost item or check on found property. We can tell you which precinct handles your loss location and file the report on your behalf where third-party reports are accepted.
Town Hall & Town Services
Marshfield Town Hall handles general lost property inquiries and may assist with items lost at town facilities or events. If your item was lost at a municipal venue, town staff can direct you to the right department.
Public Transit (MBTA Bus)
If you lost something on a bus serving Marshfield, the MBTA Lost and Found handles retrieval. You'll need to call the transit line during business hours and describe your item. We can generate the exact contact information and details to provide.
Marshfield Municipal Airport
Items left at Marshfield Municipal Airport or lost on the tarmac are held by airport operations. Contact the airport directly during operating hours (open daily from 8 AM until dusk). We can provide you with the exact contact method and filing steps.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, Marshfield Animal Control is your first contact. They maintain a registry of found animals and coordinate with shelters in the region. The police department's animal shelter page also lists resources for wider distribution of a lost pet report. File a priority lost pet report to reach animal services promptly.

Start your report now
Once your report is in the system, we handle the follow-up with local services while you focus on your day. We'll keep your report active for 12 months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Marshfield means contacting multiple places: the police department, town services, the airport if it was lost there, animal shelters if it's a pet, or the transit center. Each one keeps its own found items record, and none of them automatically know about the others. That scattered system is why many people give up after a few calls.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report reaches the Marshfield Police Department's property desk, local animal control, and other relevant channels at once. We file the report where the department accepts third-party reports and guide you on next steps where you need to file directly. Then we keep your report active for a full year, matching it automatically against new found-item listings and alerts in Marshfield and surrounding areas, so the search continues even when you've moved on.
