Where lost items are held in Upton
Each location accepts lost reports differently. ReportLost files where the department accepts third-party reports and walks you through options where it does not.
Upton Police Department
The police department handles lost and found reports for items lost anywhere in town. We file your report directly with the department where they accept third-party submissions. You can also contact them yourself if you'd prefer to check on an item in person.
Town Hall & Town Clerk
The Town Clerk's office can provide guidance on lost property matters and direct you to the appropriate department based on where your item was lost. They maintain town records and can advise on municipal procedures.
Public Transit (MBTA)
If you lost something on the bus, the MBTA maintains a separate lost and found for items left on vehicles. We provide you with the exact number to call based on your route and the contact details to file a transit-specific report.

For items lost at Logan Airport or on flights, the airport's Lost and Found office is located on the Arrivals level between Terminals C and E. Hours are 7 AM to 8 PM daily. Items held for 30 days.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a dog or cat, Upton Animal Control maintains a dedicated lost pet form and tracks missing animals in the area. Contact the animal control officer immediately and submit the official form. The MSPCA and Bay Path Humane Society also receive lost animals. File a priority lost pet report.

Items lost at local businesses, restaurants, or public venues are kept by those establishments. We generate a checklist of common loss locations in Upton and the steps to contact each one. Many hold items for 30 days before disposal.

The sooner you file a report, the sooner we can route it to the right places and begin the 12-month active search. Once submitted, you don't need to follow up repeatedly; we'll alert you when a match appears.
Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Upton can mean a stressful round of calls and emails. A missing wallet, passport, or piece of jewelry can end up at the police station, a local business, or transit lost and found, but each place keeps its own records. Without a coordinated report, items slip through the cracks as you try to reach the right department and remember where you already checked.
ReportLost simplifies that process by filing your loss with the Upton Police Department and other relevant services in one go, then maintaining an active search on your behalf for a full year. Rather than you checking police records, social media, and local marketplaces repeatedly, your report continues to watch for matches automatically. Once you've submitted, our team handles the routing and the ongoing search.
