The sooner you report, the better.
Once your report is filed with Chanhassen Police and local services, your search starts immediately. The longer your report is active, the more local found-item posts and announcements it can match against. File now and let the system work for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Chanhassen means reaching out to Chanhassen Police, maybe Carver County, possibly the transit system if you used Metro, and hunting through Facebook groups and Nextdoor on your own. Each office keeps items for different lengths of time, and manually tracking down every possibility takes hours you don't have.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, sent to all the right channels at once. Once filed, your report continues working for you automatically, cross-checking new found-item reports across local platforms and police records. You can focus on your day while your search stays active.

What if I lost something at MSP Airport?

Where should I search if my item was on a bus?
Check with Metro Transit's Lost & Found first. If your bus route number is known, you can also contact the specific transit authority. ReportLost identifies the right service and files with them automatically.
Can I post my lost item on social media instead of reporting to police?
Social media is helpful for visibility, and ReportLost will match your report against Facebook, Nextdoor, and PawBoost posts. However, official channels like Chanhassen Police create a formal record that increases the chance of recovery if your item is turned in. ReportLost handles both automatically.

ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels. When you file through us, your report is routed to Chanhassen Police, Carver County Sheriff, and other relevant local services. We don't replace police reports; we ensure your information reaches the right offices quickly and stays active while you focus on other things.
