How ReportLost Works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, where and when, and any identifying details. We generate the exact information needed for each local channel.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Medina Police, Metro Transit if you lost it on a bus, MSP Airport if needed, and posted to community channels so locals can help spot it.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report automatically compares new found postings and alerts against your description. Once submitted, you can focus on other things; we notify you if a credible match appears.
Where to Report & What to Know
The main channels in Medina where found items are logged.
Medina Police Department
The Medina Police Department maintains a lost and found log for items turned in to the station. If you lost something at a business, park, or public location in Medina, it may be held here. We can tell you exactly which precinct covers your loss location and what information to provide.
City Hall
Medina City Hall coordinates with local services and can answer questions about where items are typically turned in within the city. Staff can guide you to the right department or office based on where you lost your item.
Metro Transit Lost & Found
If you left your item on a Metro Transit bus, call the Lost & Found Department or file a report online. They collect all items turned in by drivers and passengers during regular hours. We'll help you generate the exact details to include when you contact them.
MSP Airport Lost & Found
If your loss happened at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the Lost & Found office is on the valet level of Terminal 1. Staff retain items for a set period and can be reached during business hours. We can direct you to the exact process if your report involves a flight.
Lost or Found Pet
If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Medina, time is critical. Contact Animal Humane Society, post on local Facebook lost pet groups, and notify neighbors immediately. For a faster, coordinated search across all local shelters and rescue networks, file a priority lost pet report with us.

Report my lost item →Losing something in Medina can feel scattering. Whether it's left on a Metro Transit bus heading through town, misplaced at a local business, or dropped near Highway 55, the challenge is that found items get collected by different places: the Medina Police Department, transit staff, airport lost & found, and community members posting on Facebook and Nextdoor. You'd normally need to call multiple offices, fill out separate forms, and check social media constantly for weeks.
ReportLost simplifies this. File one report with us, and we route your loss to the right local authorities and channels automatically. Better yet, your report stays active for 12 months, continuously matching new found posts and alerts across community channels so you don't have to be the detective. Once you've reported, we're working behind the scenes for you.
