How ReportLost works in Burnsville
You describe what you lost

We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Burnsville Police Department, MVTA (if it's transit), MSP Airport (if applicable), and relevant local lost & found offices. We handle the coordination so you don't chase multiple contacts.

Our system scans Burnsville Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Craigslist, community pages, and online marketplaces automatically for 6 to 12 months. The moment a matching 'found' post appears, you get an alert. No more daily checking.
Where lost items go in Burnsville
Here's what to do and where to look, depending on where you lost your item.
Burnsville Police Department
The Burnsville Police Department handles lost and found property reports. For non-emergencies, call 952-322-2323 or 651-322-2323. You can also reach Police Administration at 952-895-4600 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). We file your report with them and make sure they have your complete description and contact info.
MVTA Transit (Burnsville)
If you lost something on an MVTA bus or at Burnsville Transit Station, items are held for 2 weeks. Call 952-882-7500 to inquire. The MVTA Customer Service Office at Burnsville Transit Station is staffed Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We notify MVTA on your behalf and provide them with your description and contact details.
Minneapolis–St. Paul (MSP) Airport
Lost something at MSP? The airport's Lost & Found office is located on the valet level of Terminal 1, open 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Call 612-726-5555. MVTA also provides shuttle service from Burnsville to the airport, so items left on that route should be reported to MVTA as well. We ensure both channels have your information.
Burnsville City Hall & Local Facilities
Lost an item at a city building, park, or public facility? Burnsville City Hall can direct you to the right department. Call 952-895-4400 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or submit a request online. We help you reach the correct office and follow up on your behalf.

Ready to report your loss?
The sooner you get your information into the system, the sooner MVTA, the Burnsville Police, and community groups can start working on it. ReportLost takes the friction out of notifying everyone at once.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Burnsville can feel scattering, especially when it's unclear whether to call the police non-emergency line, contact MVTA, check with the transit station, reach out to local shops, or post on social media. Each agency holds lost items for different lengths of time, and community networks like Facebook and Nextdoor operate on their own schedule. The pieces don't always connect, and your item can slip through the cracks while you're juggling phone calls and group posts.
ReportLost simplifies the whole process. File one report with us, and we notify every relevant agency in the Burnsville area and broadcast to active community channels. Then, instead of checking Facebook groups and Nextdoor every morning for months, our automated monitoring scans the web continuously, watching for posts that match your description, location, and timeline. When a real lead surfaces, you're notified right away. You can focus on your day, knowing the search is happening around the clock.
