How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to file the report correctly.
We route it to the right places
We file your report with the Natick Police Department or transit vendor that has your item, and alert the channels where people post found goods locally.
Your report stays active
We keep searching for a match with new found items posted online and reported to local services. You'll get an alert if we find a credible match, so you can focus on other things.
Where lost items go in Natick
Each location below keeps its own lost and found. ReportLost files with the departments that accept third-party reports, and tells you which ones handle items directly.

The Police Department at 20 East Central Street holds lost items reported to them or found on public property. We file your report there and let you know the exact next steps to claim your item.

Ready to report your loss?
The sooner you file, the sooner our system begins searching. Your report will stay active for a full year, matching against found items posted online and reported to Natick's services.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Natick, whether it's a wedding ring left at a restaurant, a passport dropped on the sidewalk, or a dog that slipped out of the yard, puts you in a stressful position. The Police Department, bus or van operators, and individual venues all keep lost and found sections, but reaching each one separately takes time and follow-up calls you may not think to make later.
ReportLost simplifies that process. You file once, and we forward your report to the right offices and community channels. Because our system keeps your report active and matches it against new found items for the full year, you don't have to remember to check back yourself every few days. Once you've reported, the search continues on your behalf.
