How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We ask for a description and details that will help identify your item if someone brings it in or posts about it online.
We route it to the right place
We send your report to the Westport Police Department, local Animal Control, and other relevant departments. We also match your loss against lost and found alerts across social platforms and local networks.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and keeps matching against new posts, found item announcements, and community alerts. You'll get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check multiple websites yourself.
Where to report and what to do
Use these channels directly, or let ReportLost coordinate your report.
Westport Police Department
The Police Department maintains lost and found records for items reported in town and coordinates with businesses. Call to describe what you've lost and ask if anything matching your description has been turned in. We identify which precinct or department serves your loss location and guide you to file a report.
Town Hall & Public Records
Westport Town Hall can help direct your inquiry to the right department or take information if your loss involves town property or services. The Town Clerk's office also maintains records that may help if your lost item relates to a town transaction or location.
Animal Control
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet, Animal Control is your first call. They maintain records of lost and found animals, respond to sightings, and work with the community to reunite pets with owners. Check in regularly and post on local animal groups; many lost pets are returned through community networks.
Boston Logan Airport
If you lost something while traveling through Logan Airport, contact the Lost and Found Office directly. Items left at security checkpoints are handled separately by TSA. Logan serves much of the region and returns many items to travelers within days of loss.
Local Businesses & Venues
Restaurants, shops, gyms, libraries, and other public spaces often hold lost items for a period of time. Call the place where you were when you last had your item. If you lost a wallet, phone, keys, or glasses at a local business, the staff may have it waiting.

Lost a pet?
Pets need faster outreach. Westport has an active Animal Control and several community groups dedicated to reuniting animals with owners. ReportLost can prioritize your lost pet across all channels at once. <a href="/report-lost-pet"><strong>File a priority lost pet report.</strong></a>
Report my lost item →Losing something in Westport means contacting the Police Department, checking with local businesses where you were, calling Animal Control if it's a pet, and then monitoring social media and community groups on your own. Different places handle lost items separately, and there's no single place that stays on the lookout across all of them.
ReportLost simplifies this by taking down your information once and routing it to all the right channels at once. We file reports where departments accept third-party submissions and alert you if anything matching your description surfaces online, so your search continues automatically while you go about your day.
