How ReportLost works in Red Wing
You tell us what you lost
Describe your item, where and when you lost it in Red Wing. We gather the details that matter most to the right channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Red Wing Police Department's property office, local lost and found services, and community groups where people post found items.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you go about your day, your report stays active, cross-referencing new posts and found item listings. We alert you if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check Facebook, Nextdoor, or local feeds yourself every morning.
Where lost items go in Red Wing
These are the main places to check, and we alert you to them all at once
Red Wing Police Department
Items turned in to police go to the Evidence and Property Office. They accept reports Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and you can retrieve property without an appointment on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday between 10 a.m. and noon. We identify the correct precinct and prepare your report in their language so it gets filed correctly.
City of Red Wing
City Hall can point you to local lost and found resources and help coordinate with businesses in the area where you lost your item. We handle the initial outreach so you don't have to call around to multiple departments.
Local Transit
If you lost something on a Hiawathaland Transit bus, items are turned in to dispatch. We provide you with the exact contact info and reference details to check, or mention in your report.
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
If your loss happened during travel through MSP, the airport's Lost and Found office (Terminal 1, valet level) holds items during business hours. We make sure your report reaches them if your item came through the airport.
Lost Pet
If you're searching for a cat or dog, time is critical. Community members report found pets on Facebook and local networks, and shelters like River Bluff Humane Society post arrivals. We help you broadcast to all channels at once and keep your alert active while local teams search their facilities. File a priority lost pet report

The sooner you report, the better
A clear, detailed report filed early gives your lost item the best chance of being matched with a found report. Once you've reported, you've done the hard part, and we take it from there.
Report my lost item →Red Wing's community is spread across multiple channels, shops, and lost and found systems that don't always talk to each other. A wallet left on a downtown bench, a phone dropped at a local business, or a piece of jewelry lost near the riverfront can end up in any number of places: the police property office, a store manager's desk, a Facebook group, or a neighbor's hands. The problem is knowing where to look and keeping track of all those places week after week.
ReportLost bridges that gap. File once with us, and we route your report to Red Wing Police, the right community channels, and local networks. Then your report stays active, working in the background to match your lost item with new found reports for months, so you can stop searching and let the system work for you.
