For your entire search period, your report stays active and continuously matches against new found-item posts, local alerts, and community reports. If a match appears, you're notified right away. No need to refresh websites or groups yourself every day.
Where lost items go in Sartell
These are the official channels we alert on your behalf. You can also reach out directly if you prefer.
Sartell Police Department
The Sartell Police Department takes reports of lost property and maintains a lost-and-found. Items are logged and kept for safekeeping. Lobby hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You can also call 24/7 if your loss is urgent.
City Hall
Sartell City Hall coordinates with the police department and can direct you to the right department if your lost item was left in a city building or public space. ReportLost makes sure we send your details to the right desk so you don't have to figure it out.
Metro Transit & Local Bus Services
If you lost your wallet, phone, or keys on a Metro Transit bus, items are collected and held at the Metro Bus Transit Center. Lost items from buses are kept for 30 days. When you report through ReportLost, we notify the right transit lost-and-found office and include the details they need to search their logs quickly.
St. Cloud Regional Airport
Traveling through St. Cloud Regional Airport? The airport's lost-and-found office is staffed during business hours. Items left in terminals or on aircraft are held and catalogued.
Lost Pet? Contact Animal Services
Losing a pet is urgent. Tri-County Humane Society and St. Cloud animal control are the first places to call and check. Sartell residents can also post in local lost-pet Facebook groups to reach neighbors quickly. For a faster, more coordinated approach to getting your pet found, file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
The sooner you report, the sooner we start searching.
Once your report is filed, the Sartell Police Department and local services are alerted, and your information enters our active matching system. You've done the hard part; we handle the rest.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Sartell can feel frustrating, especially when you're not sure where to start. Items turn up in different places, reported to different people, and each lost-and-found operates on its own schedule. The Sartell Police Department, City Hall, Metro Transit, and local animal services all handle lost property, but there's no single place that connects them all.
ReportLost cuts through that confusion. File one report with us, and we'll notify the Sartell Police Department, City Hall, transit operators, and the community groups where locals actually search for missing items. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after a day or two; it stays active and keeps matching against new found-item alerts for months, so you can move forward knowing the search is still running.
