How it works
You submit your loss
Fill out a simple form describing what you lost, where, and when. Include details like color, brand, or any unique markings.
We route it to the right places
Our team files your report with the Pembroke Police Department and relevant local services, plus alerts the right channels for your item type. We give you the exact next steps and contact information if you want to follow up directly.

For the full 12 months after filing, your report stays active and automatically matches against new found postings, social listings, and lost and found databases. You'll be notified if a credible match appears, so you're not checking Facebook groups and Nextdoor every day.
Where lost items end up in Pembroke
Understanding who holds what, and how ReportLost can help you reach them
Pembroke Police Department
The Police Department is the central point for lost and found reports in town. Items turned in by residents, found on public property, or discovered during incidents typically end up here. We file the report with them and give you their direct contact information and hours so you can follow up on your own timeline.
MBTA Transit
If you left something on a bus or at a transit stop in the Pembroke area, the MBTA lost and found system holds items for a limited time. Each bus route has its own lost and found contact. We generate the exact route information and phone number you need.
Boston Logan Airport
Boston Logan, located about 25 miles from Pembroke, serves the region. Items lost in the terminal, at security, or on aircraft are processed through Logan's lost and found office and TSA. We point you to the right desk and contact number based on where your loss occurred.
Shops and public venues
Restaurants, retail stores, libraries, and other public places in Pembroke keep lost items behind the counter or in their office for a set period. There's no single repository for these, so contacting the business directly is the most direct route. We help you identify which business and provide their contact if available.
Lost pet
A lost dog or cat requires immediate steps: contact Animal Control at the Police Department non-emergency line, alert local shelters, and post to pet recovery networks. We can guide you through the fastest channels to notify the right people and keep a record that helps reunite you with your pet. File a priority lost pet report

Ready to report your loss
The sooner you file, the sooner your report is active in the system. Once submitted, we take it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Pembroke can mean contacting the Police Department, checking local transit systems, and posting across social media all on your own. Each channel operates separately, and items held at different locations get processed on their own timelines. ReportLost simplifies this by gathering all the information you need and filing through the proper channels in one step, so you can focus on other things while your report works for you.
Once you file with us, the search doesn't stop after a day or a week. Your report stays live for a full year, continuously cross-referencing new found listings, community posts, and local resources. If someone finds your passport, watch, or set of keys and posts them online or brings them to a local shelter, the system flags the match and alerts you immediately. You get your life back to normal while we keep looking.

Common questions about losing items in Pembroke
How long do the police and local services hold lost items?
The Pembroke Police Department typically holds items for a reasonable period before donation or disposal, though there's no single published timeline. MBTA items are kept for about 30 days. Businesses vary widely. The sooner you file your loss, the sooner we can contact the holding location on your behalf.
Do I have to go in person to claim something from the Police Department?
It depends on the item and circumstances. For valuable or sensitive items like IDs or jewelry, you'll likely need to visit in person with proof of ownership. Call the Police Department at 781-293-6363 to confirm. We provide you with that number and office location.
What if I lost something on a bus or at a transit stop?
Contact the MBTA lost and found system immediately and provide the route or stop details. Items are not held indefinitely. We identify your exact route and give you the right MBTA phone number to call.
If I lost something at Boston Logan, who do I contact?
Logan has a dedicated lost and found office on the Arrivals level (7 AM to 8 PM daily). If the item was at a TSA checkpoint, contact TSA directly. We give you both numbers and help you determine which office to contact based on where you lost it.
How does ReportLost find my item if it's on Facebook or Nextdoor?
Once you file, your report stays active for 12 months and is automatically matched against new found postings and listings. When a credible match appears in community groups, local pages, or lost and found databases, we flag it and send you an alert so you can follow up without checking those groups every day yourself.
Is ReportLost.org an official town service or part of the Pembroke Police Department?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that files your loss information with the appropriate local authorities and resources on your behalf, and maintains an active search using public channels. We're not part of Pembroke government, but we work with and refer you to the official departments and services that actually hold or process lost items.
