Where to report a lost item in Brattleboro
The main channels and how ReportLost connects with each one
Brattleboro Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found system for property reported in town. We identify the right department for your loss location and file your report where the department accepts third-party notices, giving you the exact office, phone number, and steps to follow up yourself if needed.
Greene Mountain Transit
If you lost something on a local bus, the transit center holds items the next business day. We'll provide you with the exact contact information and procedures, and note the timing so you know when to follow up. Small items are available after 10 AM at the Downtown Transit Center.
Shops, restaurants, and local venues
Many Brattleboro businesses maintain their own lost and found. We'll point you toward the specific place where you lost your item and suggest the best way to reach them. It often helps to call during business hours and describe your item in detail.
Lost pet
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in the Brattleboro area, contact the Windham County Humane Society immediately. They manage lost and found pet reports for the region and post recoveries on their Facebook page. For urgent missing pet assistance with broader reach and priority tracking, file a priority lost pet report.

Start your report

Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, passport, piece of jewelry, or pet in a small Vermont town feels immediate and personal. In Brattleboro, lost property is handled separately by the Police Department, Greene Mountain Transit, local businesses, and the Windham County Humane Society for animals. Figuring out which office to contact and keeping track of each search takes time you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies this by filing your report once and routing it to the right channels. We generate the exact details each office needs, alert the community groups where locals post found items, and maintain your active search for 12 months so recovery efforts don't drop off after the first few days. Once you've reported through us, the work of connecting with the right places continues without you having to manage each contact separately.
