How ReportLost Works
You file a report
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to alert the right services in Woonsocket.
We route it for you
Your report goes directly to Woonsocket Police, Woonsocket Animal Control (if applicable), RIPTA bus services, and social channels. No back-and-forth calls to multiple departments.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period (12 months), your report automatically matches against new found-item posts, local listings, and community alerts. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check daily.
Report Your Loss to the Right Place
Woonsocket has multiple lost and found services. Here's where to report, and how ReportLost gets your report to all of them.
Woonsocket Police Department
Items found or lost in public spaces, on streets, or involving suspicious circumstances should be reported to police. They maintain a lost and found log and can help with theft reports. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and we file the report on your behalf.
City Hall Lost & Found
Items left in municipal buildings or at city offices may be held at City Hall. Contacting the main office can point you to the right department. We provide you with the exact information and contact details to speed up your search.
RIPTA Bus Lost & Found
Items left on Rhode Island Public Transit Authority buses or at stops are held at the RIPTA Lost and Found Office in Providence. Call RIPTA customer service to file a report for items lost on buses serving Woonsocket. We route your report to RIPTA and provide the right phone and office details.
Rhode Island T.F. Green Airport
If you lost something while traveling through PVD (Providence airport), the airport maintains its own lost and found. They can be reached via phone or their online form for items left in terminals or at TSA checkpoints.
Woonsocket Animal Control
Lost or found a dog, cat, or other pet in Woonsocket? Animal Control holds stray animals and manages pet reports. They work closely with local Facebook groups and shelters to reunite pets with their owners. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to reach animal control and the broader pet network instantly.

Ready to Search?
The sooner you file a report, the sooner the search network is activated. A few minutes now saves you weeks of wondering and calling around.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Woonsocket can feel like chasing leads across multiple systems: the police department, transit services, animal control, and various community groups, each with their own procedures and hours. The right information needs to reach the right place at the right time, but coordinating that yourself is time-consuming and stressful.
ReportLost simplifies that process. Instead of calling each office separately or posting in multiple groups, you file one report that we route to the Woonsocket Police Department, local transit, animal control, and social channels. Your report doesn't disappear after you file it, either. It stays active and continues to search for matches throughout your search period, alerting you the moment someone reports finding your item.
