How it works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to get moving right away.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Blaine Police Property & Evidence team, local transit lost and found offices (if applicable), and relevant community channels. You don't have to make those calls yourself.
Automated monitoring finds it for you
Our system scans Facebook groups, Nextdoor, local community posts, and online marketplaces every day for 12 months. When a matching "found" post appears, we alert you immediately. No more refreshing pages on your own.
Where to report in Blaine
Here's what each channel handles and how we help you navigate it.
Blaine Police Department
The Blaine Police Department's Property & Evidence unit holds found items turned in by citizens and businesses.

Property & Evidence: 763-785-6193|Non-emergency line: 763-427-1212
City Hall & Community Services
Blaine City Hall can direct you to the right department for items lost in public spaces, parks, or municipal facilities. They also manage the local lost pet report system in coordination with animal control. We know exactly which desk to point you toward and what information they'll request.
Local Transit
If you lost an item on a bus or at a transit station in the Blaine area, the regional transit system maintains a lost and found. Items are typically held for a set period before disposal. We'll help you identify which service covers your route and file the claim for you.
MSP Airport (nearby)
If your loss happened at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport or in transit to or from Blaine, MSP's dedicated lost and found office can help. They manage items found at security checkpoints, gates, baggage claim, and throughout the terminals. We provide the exact details needed for your claim.

The sooner you report, the better your odds
Getting your loss logged right away means the police, local transit, and community networks start looking immediately. The first few hours and days are critical. Once your report is in, our team takes it from there, checking back every week for months. You can relax knowing the search is running in the background.
Report my lost item →In Blaine, a lost item can disappear into several different systems at once. Your phone might end up at the police department, a wallet on a bus route, or a set of keys posted in a community Facebook group. Without a central hub, you end up calling around, posting in multiple places, and checking back constantly. That's exhausting, and things get missed.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. One report to us, and we connect with the Blaine Police Department's Property & Evidence unit, coordinate with local transit if needed, and post to the right community channels. Then we take over the heavy lifting, scanning the web and local networks for months while you get back to your day. You'll hear from us the moment something credible surfaces.
