How it works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details that matter to the right authorities and community channels.
We route it to the right places
We connect your report to the Crystal Police Department, City Hall, Metro Transit (if applicable), and local Facebook groups and community boards where neighbors post found items.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and keeps matching against new found items posted by the community, transit riders, and local services. You'll get an alert as soon as a credible match appears, so you can focus on your day instead of checking every site yourself.
