How ReportLost Works for You
You File Your Report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details that matter: description, location, and how to reach you. No back-and-forth with multiple offices.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes directly to Middleborough Police, Town Hall, Middleborough Animal Control, and the MBTA if needed. We also post to local social channels so the community can help.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For your entire search period, your report remains active and continuously matched against new found items, posts, and local announcements. You'll get an alert the moment we spot a credible match, so you're not checking social media and lost & found boards every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Middleborough Center
These are the official channels you can reach directly. We can handle all of this for you with one report.
Middleborough Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found and can file a report for stolen or lost items. We identify which precinct covers your loss location and route your report directly to the right desk.
Town Hall & Town Clerk
Middleborough Town Hall can assist with lost items reported in public buildings and areas under town jurisdiction. We generate the exact information you'll need to include when you reach out to the Town Clerk's office.
MBTA Bus Lost & Found
If you lost your item on an MBTA bus, contact the transit authority directly. We can point you to the right number and route based on which line you were on.

⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Getting Ahead Matters
The sooner you file a report, the sooner we start routing it to the right places and searching for you. Every hour counts when a pet is missing, and early filing increases the odds that someone who finds your item will see your alert before they toss it or pass it on.
Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet in Middleborough Center can feel overwhelming. Between the Police Department, Town Hall, Animal Control, and local online groups, there's no single place that brings all the threads together. Most people file a report here, forget to check there, and miss the chance to reconnect with what they've lost.
ReportLost simplifies the process. One report, filed once, reaches all the right local services and stays active while you move forward. We don't just submit your loss and disappear, we keep your report searching for a match every day for months, so you don't have to manually re-post on Facebook or call every office repeatedly. When someone finds your item or when a match shows up online, we notify you immediately.

ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with Middleborough Police or any government agency. We don't replace official reporting, we support it. When you file with us, we submit your report to the Police, Town Hall, and Animal Control on your behalf and keep searching for matches for months so you don't have to. You can always file directly with these agencies too, but most people choose ReportLost to save time and ensure their report stays active longer.
