How it works
You tell us what you lost
Submit a brief report with details about your item, where you lost it, and how to reach you. We ask you the right questions so nothing important gets left out.
We route it to the right places
We file your report with the Wilbraham Police Department and other relevant services. We tell you which office handles your loss, where to call, and what to expect next.
Your report stays active
Your report keeps searching for a match for 12 months. When new items are found and posted, we check them against your description automatically. You get an alert if a credible match surfaces, so you don't have to spend your days hunting through listings yourself.
Where lost items are held in Wilbraham
Each location follows its own retention schedule. Report your loss to ensure it reaches the right place.
Wilbraham Police Department
The Police Department is your primary point of contact for lost items in town. Items turned in to local police are documented and held according to state retention rules. We file your report with them and give you the direct contact details so you can follow up if you need to retrieve your item in person.
Town Hall and Municipal Services
Items found at town offices, parks, and public buildings may be held at Town Hall. The town coordinates with Police and maintains a record of found property. We generate the exact information you need to include when you call to claim something, so you don't have to figure out what to say.
Public Transit (PVTA)
If you left something on a PVTA bus, the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority maintains its own lost and found. Items are kept for a period before being donated. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and provide you with the phone number and hours so you can check directly.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in or near Wilbraham, contact Animal Control immediately. Lost dogs must be held for at least 7 days. The sooner you report, the sooner the network of local shelters and animal advocates goes to work. File a priority lost pet report to get your pet into the hands of multiple organizations at once.
Boston Logan Airport
If your loss occurred at Logan Airport or on a flight from there, file a separate report with the airport's Lost and Found office or directly with the airline. Items held at Logan are retained for a set period before release or donation. We can point you to the exact office and submission method for your case.

Ready to report?
The sooner your report is filed, the sooner it enters the search cycle. You don't need to have all the details perfect, just enough to identify your item. Our team takes it from there.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Wilbraham, whether it's a wallet, passport, watch, or wedding ring, means reaching out to separate organizations, each with its own hours and procedures. The Police Department takes reports, the town handles property found at municipal offices, and local businesses keep their own lost and found shelves. Coordinating across all of them, especially when you're stressed, takes time and energy.
ReportLost simplifies the process. You file once, through one form, and we make sure your report reaches the Police Department and other relevant local services. More importantly, we don't just file and disappear. Your report stays active for 12 months, continuously searching for a match against newly found items, so you can stop retracing your steps every single day. Once your report is in, our team handles the legwork.

Frequently asked questions
How long will the Police Department hold my lost item if someone finds it?
Massachusetts law requires items to be held for a minimum period, typically 30 days, but this can vary. Contact the Wilbraham Police Department at (413) 596-3837 to confirm the current retention policy and to ask if an item matching your description has come in.
What should I do if I think I lost something at a store or restaurant?
Call the business directly first, as many items are held at the location where they were lost. If the business hasn't found it, file a report with us. We'll make sure the Police Department is aware so the item is documented if it turns up later.
How do I claim an item once it's found?
The holder (Police Department, transit authority, or business) will typically ask you to describe the item to verify ownership. Be ready to provide details like color, distinguishing marks, and contents. If we filed your report, we can tell you exactly which office to contact and what they'll ask for.
What if I lost something on a PVTA bus?
Call PVTA Lost & Found at (413) 781-7882, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM. Have your bus route number and the date you traveled ready. Items are held for a limited time, so don't delay.
Does ReportLost.org replace calling the police or the town?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that files your report with the right local authorities and keeps your item in an active search for 12 months. You can still call the Police Department or town directly, and many people do both. We're a tool to make sure your loss is coordinated and remembered.
