Call during business hours to check or file a report with your airline. We make sure you include the flight or gate info that helps them locate it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lost Items in Hugo
How long does the Sheriff's Office hold lost items?
The Washington County Sheriff's Office holds items for a set period before disposal. We recommend calling their non-emergency line (651-439-9381) within the first week to ask if your item has been turned in and how long they keep it. Don't wait, as timelines vary.
What should I include when I call Hugo City Hall?
Have your item's description (color, brand, distinctive features), the date and location where you lost it, and your contact info ready. When you report to ReportLost first, we help you organize exactly what to say so City Hall can search their records efficiently.
If I lost something on a bus, where do I start?
Metro Transit's Lost & Found Department accepts reports online and by phone. Items are held for a time before being discarded, so call or file their online form as soon as possible. ReportLost routes to them and ensures you include the bus number and time, which speeds up their search.
How do I report a found pet to the right people?
Call the Washington County Sheriff Non-Emergency at 651-439-9381 and mention you found a pet. They coordinate with Companion Animal Control. Post immediately to Hugo neighborhood Facebook groups and Nextdoor too, as neighbors often reunite pets before official channels. ReportLost can help you craft an alert that gets seen.
