How ReportLost Works
You Report Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather the details we need to route your case to every relevant office in Maplewood.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report goes directly to the Maplewood Police Department's property unit, transit agencies, airport lost and found if relevant, and community groups already searching for lost items.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For your entire search period, your report stays active and cross-checks new found item postings, classifieds, and community alerts. You get notified if a credible match appears, so you don't have to search manually every single day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Maplewood
Know your options, or let us handle the routing for you.
Maplewood Police Department
The Maplewood Police Department maintains a property and evidence room for lost and found items. If you've lost something in or around the city, report it to them directly. You can call their property and evidence technician or visit the station to file a report. With ReportLost, we file this report for you and confirm it's been logged.
Metro Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Metro Transit bus or at a station, Metro Transit has a dedicated lost and found service. Items are typically held for a set period before donation or disposal. Their online form makes it easy to report a loss, and you can call to check status. ReportLost ensures your description reaches them with the right contact info and timeline.
Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP) Airport Lost & Found
The MSP Lost and Found office is located on the valet level of Terminal 1, open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with weekend hours on Saturday and Sunday. If you flew in or out of the Twin Cities and left something behind, contact them right away. We provide the exact information and contact details to file with MSP.
Lost Pets
If you've lost a pet in or around Maplewood, contact the Woodbury Humane Society at 952-435-7738 to check if your animal has been brought in. Also post on local pet recovery networks and Facebook groups dedicated to reuniting lost pets with families. File a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to activate our pet-specific search network and channels.
Maplewood City Hall & Community Services
Maplewood City Hall can direct you to local resources and sometimes holds items turned in to municipal offices. For general inquiries or to confirm the right department handles your type of loss, reach out during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). ReportLost connects your report to the appropriate city desk so you don't have to navigate multiple departments.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Report Your Loss and Let the Search Continue
The sooner you file, the sooner we start routing your report. And once it's in the system, you can focus on other things, knowing your report is actively searching for a match across multiple channels over the coming months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Maplewood means checking multiple places: the police department property room, transit operators, the airport if you traveled through MSP, Facebook groups for lost pets and items, Nextdoor, and more. Each system works separately, and there's no single hub telling you where to look or what happens to your report once you file it.
ReportLost cuts through that fragmentation. File once with us, and we handle the routing to Maplewood's police, relevant transit providers, and active local community channels. Better yet, your report doesn't just sit in a filing cabinet. It stays active for months, automatically matching new found items against your description, so you can move forward knowing the search continues on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my item isn't claimed at the police department within a certain time?
Most police departments hold lost property for 30 to 90 days before donating or discarding items. This is why reporting with ReportLost is helpful: your report stays active for 12 months, continuing to check for matches even after the initial hold period expires or if your item ends up elsewhere.
How do I check the status of my lost item at MSP Airport?
Call MSP's Lost & Found office directly at 612-726-5141. Hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. When you report with ReportLost, we provide you the exact number and describe what they'll need to know.
Can I report a lost item on a Metro Transit bus?
Yes. You can file an online form at metrotransit.org/lost-found or call their office directly. Items are held for 30 days at their Lost & Found facility. ReportLost routes your report to them and keeps track of the timeline so you know when to follow up.
What should I do if I think my lost item is on Nextdoor or Facebook?
Reach out to the person who posted immediately with details. ReportLost makes it easier by ensuring your report is visible in those communities and by automatically alerting you if a credible match appears, so you don't have to scroll through posts daily.
Does ReportLost.org replace the police or official lost and found?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that coordinates reporting on your behalf and keeps your search active across multiple channels. We send your report to the Maplewood Police, transit agencies, and community networks, but we do not hold items or replace official channels. You still benefit from official offices, but you also get the advantage of continuous, automated cross-matching that official systems alone cannot provide.
