Report my lost item →Losing a personal item in Randolph, whether it's a passport, phone, wallet, or piece of jewelry, creates immediate stress. The challenge is that lost property may end up with the police, transit systems if you were on a bus, or be held at the location where you lost it. Each agency keeps items separately, for different lengths of time, and requires you to contact them individually.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing your report where the Randolph Police Department accepts third-party reports and coordinating with local services on your behalf. Once your case is filed, the real relief comes next: your report stays active for 12 months, automatically comparing new found items against your description.
