Questions about lost items in Inver Grove Heights
How long does the Police Department hold found items?
Contact the Inver Grove Heights Police Department at (651) 450-2525 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) to ask about the holding period. Different types of property may have different retention policies. ReportLost keeps your report active for up to 12 months, so even if the first location doesn't have it, matches from other channels may emerge.
How soon should I report a lost item?
Report immediately. Items are most likely to be found and reported within the first 24 to 72 hours. The sooner you file with us, the sooner we notify all relevant channels and can start matching your description against incoming found items. An active report also gives community members context when they find something.
Do I need to call Metro Transit myself, or does ReportLost handle it?
ReportLost generates the exact information and form link you'll need to report to Metro Transit's Lost & Found. We also notify local transit-focused search groups. You can use Metro Transit's online form at metrotransit.org/lost-found, or call (612) 373-3333. We make sure the report is filed and tracked across all channels.
What if my item was lost at MSP Airport?
MSP's Lost & Found office is located on the valet level of Terminal 1, open 7:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. daily. Call (612) 726-5555 as soon as possible. ReportLost can help you file and will keep your report active in case items turn up after your initial call.
Will ReportLost's report replace a Police report?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that routes your information to the Police Department and other local channels and keeps searching for you. For official documentation or insurance purposes, you may need a formal police report. We help you file one efficiently, but we're not a law enforcement agency. Contact the Inver Grove Heights Police Department at (651) 450-2525 for official report details.
