Where lost items end up in Rehoboth
Each location and service handles lost property independently. We file your report where accepted and guide you through the steps where you need to act directly.
Rehoboth Police Department
Items turned in to police or found on public streets often end up here. We can file your report with the department, and we'll give you the exact contact and location so you can also call directly to check their current lost and found.
Rehoboth Animal Control
If you've lost a cat or dog, Animal Control is your first call. They maintain records of missing and found pets and can check for microchips. We file a report on your behalf and ensure Animal Control has your details.
Shops, restaurants, and public venues
Items lost at local businesses, restaurants, parks, or community centers are often kept at the front desk or customer service desk. We generate a list of likely locations based on where you lost your item, so you know where to check in person or call.
Town Hall and municipal services
Found items sometimes reach the Town Hall administrative office. We can help you understand which town departments to contact based on where your loss occurred.
Boston Logan Airport
If you lost an item while traveling through the airport, Logan's Lost and Found office (located on the Arrivals level between Terminals C and E, open daily 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM) maintains a separate system. We can provide you with their contact information and guide you through retrieval.

Start your search in Rehoboth
Filing a report puts your information into the local search network. Once your details are in the system, we handle the ongoing search for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Rehoboth means contacting multiple places, each with separate procedures and records. The Police Department handles items turned in to them, Animal Control manages lost pets, local shops and public places keep their own lost and found bins, and community members post discoveries on Facebook and other social media. Without a central system, your search often means calling around and refreshing online groups regularly.
ReportLost simplifies that process. You file once, and we route your report to the Police Department, Animal Control, and relevant community channels in Rehoboth. Most importantly, your report keeps searching automatically for 12 months, matching your description against new found items and posts. Once you've told us what you lost, the hard work of watching for matches shifts to us, and you can focus on your day.
