How ReportLost Works
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details needed to reach the right local contacts on your behalf.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes straight to the Eden Prairie Police Department, Southwest Transit (if a bus is involved), and relevant community networks, so you don't have to make multiple calls or fill out separate forms.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report automatically cross-checks new found items, community posts, and local listings. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears, so you're not refreshing Facebook or calling around every day.
Where Your Lost Item Might Be
Each location has its own lost and found system. Here's how to reach them, and what ReportLost does to speed things up.
Eden Prairie Police Department
The Police Department's Evidence Specialist holds lost property reported to the department. Items are typically held for a set period before being disposed of. Call the non-emergency number 24/7 to check on your item or provide details. We generate the exact information your report needs and submit it directly to the Police Department, so the Evidence Specialist has your full description on file.
Southwest Transit Lost and Found
If you left your item on a Southwest Transit bus serving Eden Prairie, the transit customer service team handles lost and found claims. Items found on buses are held in their Lost and Found office. We can identify which transit route covers your location and prepare your claim with the right details, so you have a clearer path when you reach out.
