How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to file with the right local office.
We route your report to the right place
We file with the Police Department, reach out to the businesses or venues involved, and post an alert to local networks so the community can help.
Your report stays active and searching
For the next 12 months, your report continues to match against new found items, social posts, and local listings. You receive an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you can focus on other things.
Where lost items go in West Boylston
Each location handles its own lost and found. ReportLost tells you which office to contact and what to expect.
West Boylston Police Department
Items brought to the police station or reported to dispatch go into the department's lost and found. Call the non-emergency line to describe your item and see if it has been turned in. We route your report to the right dispatch number and provide the exact details the officer will ask for.
Town Hall and municipal offices
Lost items found in town buildings or on town property may be held at Town Hall. You can inquire in person or by phone during business hours. We help you phrase your report clearly so staff know exactly what to look for.
Local businesses, restaurants, and venues
Shops, restaurants, and public gathering places in West Boylston each keep a lost and found section. Items left at the counter, in a booth, or on the premises are usually held for a set period. ReportLost alerts these locations on your behalf, so staff can check their shelves and reach out if your item appears.
Regional bus transit
If you lost something on a RERTA or MBTA bus, contact the transit lost and found line. Items are held at the service center and can be retrieved during service hours. We provide you with the exact number and process to claim your item.
Boston Logan Airport
If you lost something at Logan Airport, the airport lost and found office is your best resource. Items can also be reported to TSA if lost at a security checkpoint. Check the airport website or call to file a report and arrange retrieval.
Lost pet
If you've lost a cat or dog, time and visibility matter. West Boylston Animal Control should be notified right away, and local pet networks spread the word fast. File a priority lost pet report to activate immediate alerts across shelters, rescue groups, and community pages in your area.

Already know where you lost it?
You can contact that location directly using the information above. But if you want a simpler path, ReportLost files the report for you and keeps looking on your behalf for the next year.
Report my lost item →Losing something in West Boylston, whether at home, at work, or around town, puts you in touch with several separate channels, each with different hours and procedures. The Police Department handles items brought to them, local shops and restaurants keep their own lost and found sections, and if you lost a pet, animal control and community networks become your lifeline. Without a central place to start, you end up making multiple calls, checking multiple websites, and hoping someone remembers to contact you.
ReportLost simplifies that. File once, and we route your report to the Police Department, notify the relevant businesses and venues, and alert community groups who can help spread the word. Your description stays active for a full year, automatically cross-referenced against new found items and social media posts, so you benefit from ongoing community help without having to search yourself every day.
