Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Montague—a ring, set of keys, a dog or cat, travel documents—can feel urgent, but the path to recovery isn't always clear. Lost items might end up with the Montague Police Department, the airport, a local business, or a transit service, depending on where you lost them. Each office handles its own lost-and-found, and there's no single central registry.
ReportLost simplifies that scatter. One report reaches the relevant offices and networks across town. After you submit, we handle the routing and outreach; your report then stays active in the background, continuously checking new found items and community posts for a match. It's the shortcut that lets you stop retracing your steps and let the system work for you.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Montague Police Department hold lost items?
The police department does not publish a standard retention period online. Call 413-863-8911 to ask about the current hold time for your specific item and to confirm they have it logged.
What if I lost an item at a local business or restaurant?
Contact the business directly as soon as possible. Many retailers and restaurants hold lost-and-found items for 30 days or longer. If you lost a credit card or ID, ask them to check with their manager or front desk. If you can't reach them, the Montague Police Department can sometimes help track down an item from a specific vendor.
How long does Rabbit Transit hold lost items from the bus?
Rabbit Transit holds items for 7 days. Call 1-800-632-9063 to report your loss and ask if your item has been turned in. Provide as much detail as possible about what you lost and when.
Can I claim a lost item at the airport without visiting in person?
Call the Turners Falls Airport Operations Office at 413-863-0044 (9 AM–5 PM daily) to describe your item and ask if they have it. Many airports can hold items for pickup or arrange shipping, but check their specific policy.
What should I do if I think my lost pet is in the shelter?
Call the Franklin County Regional Dog Shelter at 413-345-0628 immediately to provide a description. Check their Facebook page for recent intakes. Visit in person if possible, as photos and descriptions on social media may be posted with a slight delay. Make sure your own pet is microchipped and registered so the shelter can reach you quickly if they find your animal.
