Where lost items are handled in Southborough
Each location has its own lost and found process. ReportLost.org tells you which one applies to your loss and handles the filing for you.
Southborough Police Department
The Police Department at 32 Cordaville Road handles lost property reports and coordinates with other local agencies. We file your report with them and give you the exact steps if you need to follow up in person.
Town Hall and local businesses
Items left at shops, libraries, town facilities, or community venues stay with that business. We point you to the right desk or manager and supply the information they'll need to check their lost and found.
Public transit
If you lost something on a regional bus or Coach bus service, the driver or transit center holds it. We identify which service you used and provide the contact details to check with them directly.
Lost pet
A lost cat or dog in Southborough should be reported to the Police Department and checked with the MSPCA and local animal control. Community posts on Facebook and Nextdoor reach neighbors quickly. File a priority lost pet report to alert the right agencies at once.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Southborough—a wallet at a café, glasses at a community event, a ring after a hike—means contacting multiple places: the Police Department, the business, local social media groups. Each has its own process and timeline, and there's no single place tracking everything at once.
ReportLost.org simplifies that. One report covers all the channels that matter in Southborough. We file with the Police Department where they accept third-party reports, alert the right local businesses, and post to community networks. Most importantly, your report doesn't expire after a week or a month—it stays live for a full year, continuously cross-checking new found items and posts so you can move forward without having to monitor Facebook groups or call around yourself.
