How ReportLost works in Edina
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, when and where you lost it, and any identifying details. We handle the rest, so you don't have to make multiple calls or fill out separate forms for each agency.
We notify the right places
Your report goes directly to the Edina Police Department, local transit services, and relevant public channels in one step. No more guessing which desk to call or wondering if the right people know about your loss.
Your report searches continuously
For 12 months, your report stays active and matches against new lost and found posts, marketplace listings, and local announcements. You get alerts when a credible match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook groups and community boards every day.
Where to report a loss in Edina
Below are the main places where lost items end up. ReportLost connects you to all of them at once.
Edina Police Department
The Edina Police hold lost and found items reported in the city. Call Police Administration during business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday) to check if your item has been turned in. We generate the case details and location info so you know exactly what to reference when you call.
Metro Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a Metro Transit bus in or near Edina, their Lost & Found Department collects items and keeps them on file. The department is staffed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We tell you exactly what info to include when you file a report with them so nothing gets lost in translation.
Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP) Airport
The MSP Lost and Found office, located on the valet level of Terminal 1, receives items left in the airport, on aircraft, or at security. They're open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We point you to the right department so your query reaches the team that can actually help.
City Hall & Public Facilities
Items lost at municipal buildings, parks, or city facilities often end up with the Edina Police or City Hall. City Hall is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. We'll help you figure out which department is most likely to have what you're looking for.
Lost Pet
If you've lost a dog or cat, contact the Edina Police Animal Control Division at 952-826-1600 (non-emergency) or reach out to the Animal Humane Society Pet Helpline. Time matters with pets, so act quickly and then file a priority lost pet report to keep your search active across local shelters and community networks.

Report your loss now
The sooner you file, the sooner your report reaches the right agencies and starts matching against community posts. Once it's in, you can step back and let the search work for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Edina means checking with the police, Metro Transit, maybe the airport if you flew out, plus scrolling through half a dozen Facebook groups and Nextdoor posts. Each agency works independently, so your lost item might be found and never reach you simply because no one connected the dots. The local lost and found system isn't broken, but it's fragmented.
ReportLost cuts through that friction. One report goes to all the right places at once, and your search continues automatically for months while you move on with your day. Instead of you hunting for matches, our system stays alert and notifies you if someone posts your lost item online.
