How ReportLost works in Walpole
You submit a report
Describe what you lost, where, and when. We collect the details needed to connect with the right local departments and venues.
We route it to the right places
We file the report with the Walpole Police Department and other relevant services. We also generate the exact information you need if you want to follow up directly with businesses or transit.
Your report stays active
Once filed, your report keeps searching for a match across local listings and announcements. You'll receive an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to check back manually every day.
Where lost items go in Walpole
Each channel below accepts lost-item reports independently. ReportLost coordinates the notification and keeps monitoring on your behalf.
Walpole Police Department
The police department's Records Division handles lost property reports. Items are logged and held according to state guidelines. We identify which department handles reports in your case and provide you with the exact steps and contact details.
Walpole Town Hall
Town services, including animal control and administrative lost-and-found matters, are coordinated through Town Hall. You can also visit in person or call the non-emergency line for questions about where your item may have been taken.
Public Transit
If you lost an item on a bus or regional transit, the MBTA and regional carriers maintain their own lost-and-found systems. We point you to the right transit authority and the steps to claim your property.
Boston Logan Airport
If your loss occurred at Logan Airport, a dedicated lost-and-found office serves passengers on the Arrivals level. TSA checkpoints maintain a separate system for items left at security.
Lost pet
A lost cat or dog in Walpole should be reported to Walpole Animal Control immediately. The MSPCA also receives lost animals across the region and can assist with shelter checks. Time matters for pets, so report right away and check with local shelters daily.

Not sure where to start?
Tell us what you lost and where. We'll file the report with the right Walpole departments and keep it active while you focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Walpole can feel isolating, especially when you're not sure whether it's with the police, a local business, Animal Control, or lost in transit. Different departments and venues keep their own records, which means your lost item might be found but never reconnected to you unless you contact the right place at the right time.
ReportLost simplifies that process. You report once, and we notify the channels that matter: the Walpole Police Department, local animal control, and other relevant services. More importantly, your report stays active for a full year, matching against new lost-and-found posts and announcements automatically, so you don't have to spend your days refreshing Facebook groups or calling around.
