Where to report and what we do
Faribault has several places where lost items may end up. Here's how to navigate them, and how ReportLost connects them for you.

Report your loss in the next few minutes
The sooner you file, the sooner your report starts reaching the right places and stays active in the search. Once your information is submitted, our team handles the notifications while you can focus on other things.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Faribault can feel scattered. Between the Police Department, City Hall, Facebook community groups, and the various places people browse for found items, there's no single place where a lost report reaches everywhere at once. Most people end up making multiple calls and posts themselves, then checking back repeatedly over weeks to see if anything turns up.
ReportLost simplifies this by doing the routing for you. File once, and we immediately notify the Faribault Police Department's lost and found, City Hall, and active local channels. Better yet, your report stays active and keeps searching for a match throughout your entire search period, so you can stop worrying about whether you checked the right place on the right day.
