Where to report a lost item in Hutchinson
These are the main places people report losses. ReportLost coordinates across all of them for you.
Hutchinson Police Department
The Police Department handles lost property reports and can direct you to the right precinct or officer based on where your loss occurred. They also take lost pet calls within city limits. We identify exactly which contact to use and what details to include.
City of Hutchinson
City Hall coordinates with departments and can help direct lost items found in public spaces or city facilities. We tell you the right office and the best way to file.
Lost or Found Animals
Heart of Minnesota's Lost and Found Animals program tracks missing and found pets in Hutchinson and surrounding communities. If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet, call them to check if anyone has reported finding your animal. For priority assistance with a missing pet, file a priority lost pet report.
Animal Control
If you find a lost dog or cat within Hutchinson city limits, the Police Department's Animal Control will take it to the impound facility. You can call them directly if you've lost a pet. We generate the right information to provide when you call.
Hutchinson Municipal Airport
If you lost an item at Butler Field or on a flight out of Hutchinson, the Airport's front desk can help trace it. For items left at major connecting airports like Minneapolis-St. Paul, we point you to the right Lost and Found office.

Start with a complete report
The sooner you file, the sooner your report can start matching. Once it's in, your search is covered for months ahead.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Hutchinson can feel scattered: the police department, city hall, animal control, local Facebook groups, and community bulletin boards all operate separately. If you lost a wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet, you'd normally have to contact each place individually, file reports in different systems, and then check back constantly to see if anyone's found it.
ReportLost simplifies that. You file once, we route your report to the Hutchinson Police, local animal services, and the community channels where people actually post found items. Best part: your report stays active and searching for a match for your entire 6 or 12 month period. You get the peace of mind that you've covered all the right channels, and you won't miss it when your item surfaces.

Questions about lost items in Hutchinson
What happens if I find an item in Hutchinson? Who do I turn it in to?
If you find a lost item, you can turn it in to the Hutchinson Police Department (320-587-2242) or the nearest city office. For lost pets, call Animal Control (320-234-4290) or Heart of Minnesota (320-234-9699). Items are held for a period while the department tries to contact the owner. ReportLost makes sure your lost item report reaches these places so found items can be matched to you.
How long will the police hold a lost item before discarding it?
Policies vary, but most departments hold items for 30 to 90 days. Pets are typically held longer through shelters and animal services. This is why filing quickly and keeping your report active matters: a longer search period means a better chance of connecting with your item if it turns up later.
Can I report a loss to the city without going to the police?
You can contact City Hall (320-587-5151) to inquire about items found in public spaces or city facilities. For most losses, the Police Department is the official intake point. ReportLost directs your report to the right contact based on where you lost the item.
If I lost a pet in Hutchinson, who do I call first?
Call Animal Control (320-234-4290) immediately to report your missing pet, and also contact Heart of Minnesota's Lost and Found Animals program (320-234-9699). Post on local Facebook groups like 'Missing pets in Hutchinson, MN area' and 'Hutchinson Minnesota Pets' to reach neighbors quickly. ReportLost can file a priority lost pet report to ensure all these channels are notified.
What if I lost something at Hutchinson Municipal Airport?
Contact the airport directly at (320) 587-5151. If you lost an item on a connecting flight or at a major hub like Minneapolis-St. Paul, we provide the Lost and Found contact for that airport. ReportLost tells you exactly which airport's Lost and Found to reach and what information to provide.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not part of the Hutchinson Police Department or the city. We're a separate platform that helps you file and route your report to the right official channels so you don't have to figure out who to call. You are not replacing your report to the police; we're making sure it reaches them along with other relevant local services. The police and city remain your official record keepers.
