Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, ring, phone, or other valued item in Hopkins can feel frustrating, especially when you're juggling calls to the police, Metro Transit if it was on the bus, and hoping someone posts about it on Facebook.

ReportLost simplifies this. One report gets routed to the Hopkins Police Department, local lost and found offices, and active Minnesota community channels all at once. And because your report stays active for months, you don't have to manually re-check every group, marketplace, and post yourself.
