Ready? Report your loss now.
The sooner you file, the faster we connect you with all the right channels and activate your ongoing search. Once your report is in the system, you can focus on your day while we work in the background.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hastings means checking with the police, city hall, bus services, animal shelters, and multiple Facebook groups separately. It's overwhelming, and each place works on its own schedule. ReportLost simplifies that by filing with all of them at once and keeping your information in active rotation.
The real difference is what happens after you report. Most systems file your loss and move on. Your ReportLost report stays alive for months, continuously matching incoming found items and alerts against your description. You can stop re-posting and re-checking every day. We do that part for you.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Hastings Police Department keep lost and found items?
Items held by police are typically kept for 30 to 90 days, depending on the item and whether a report was filed. ReportLost keeps your report active for up to 12 months, so even if police release an item, we continue searching other channels (shelters, transit, online marketplaces, community groups).
If I lost something on a Metro Transit bus, where do I claim it?
Metro Transit's Lost & Found Department processes items found on buses. They're staffed weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can report online or call them directly. We ensure your report reaches them so they know to look for your specific item.
Where should I check if my lost pet is at a shelter?
Contact the Animal Humane Society or local animal control. Animal Ark is a no-kill shelter in the Hastings area. You can also check Feline Rescue if you lost a cat. We contact these organizations for you when you file a lost pet report.
Can I pick up a lost item directly from city hall or the police?
Yes, but first make sure your item is there. Call the police non-emergency line at (651) 322-2323 to confirm. City Hall is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We help you prepare the exact information (location, date, description) so the staff can find your item quickly.
What if I lost something at MSP Airport (Minneapolis-St. Paul)?
MSP has a dedicated Lost & Found office on the valet level of Terminal 1, open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Call (612) 726-5555. ReportLost can also file there as part of your overall search.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace the police report?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the police department or city. We're designed to complement, not replace, a police report. If your item was stolen, file a report with Hastings Police. We then take that report and amplify it across local agencies, transit, shelters, and community channels, while keeping it active for months automatically.
