Where to Report a Lost Item in Shoreview
The main channels where items turn up, and what ReportLost does to save you the calls.
Ramsey County Sheriff's Office
The primary agency handling lost and found reports in Shoreview. For non-emergencies, call the dispatch line to file a report or check if your item has been turned in. We tell you which precinct covers your loss location and provide the exact wording to use.
Shoreview City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department if your item was lost at a municipal facility or in a city park. They also maintain records of items turned in at city buildings. We generate the exact information you need to include when you contact them.
Metro Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a bus or light rail in the Twin Cities area, Metro Transit's Lost & Found department searches their database daily. Report online or call their information center. We point you to the right submission method and follow up on your behalf.
MSP Airport Lost & Found
Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport's Lost & Found office is located on the valet level of Terminal 1 and is open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with limited weekend hours. Items are held for a set period. We help you know exactly what to provide when you reach out.

The faster you report, the better your odds.
The first hours matter. Items found in Shoreview are logged throughout the day by police, transit staff, and business owners. Once you file a report with ReportLost, we immediately begin routing your information and setting up your active search. You can move forward knowing the right people have been notified.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Shoreview can be frustrating. Whether it's at a local business, on a Metro Transit bus, at MSP Airport, or somewhere in your neighborhood, figuring out where to report it and who to contact takes time you probably don't have. The police department, transit authority, airport, and community groups all keep separate lists, which means your lost item might be found but never reconnected with you.
ReportLost simplifies that. You make one report through us, and we deliver it to the right channels in Shoreview and across Ramsey County. Then, your report keeps working for you. We don't ask you to refresh your browser every morning, we keep your search active in the background, cross-checking new found items and community posts against your description for as long as your search period lasts. It's the shortcut that gives you peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long are lost items held by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office?
Items are typically held for 30 to 90 days, though this can vary. Contact the non-emergency line at 651-767-0640 to ask about your specific item. The sooner you report it, the sooner it can be logged in their system.
What if my item was left on a Metro Transit bus?
Metro Transit's Lost & Found office is staffed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can submit a report online at metrotransit.org/lost-found or call their Transit Information Centre. Items are held for a limited time, so report immediately.
How do I check if my item is at Shoreview City Hall or a city facility?
Call Shoreview City Hall at 651-490-4600 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). Describe your item and the location, and they can check their records or direct you to the right department.
Can I report a lost item at a business or store directly?
Yes, you should always check with the specific business or store where you lost it first, as many hold items for their customers. However, ReportLost also notifies the sheriff's office and local services so your item is in a searchable database if it's turned in elsewhere.
What makes ReportLost different from just filing a police report myself?
ReportLost does the routing and follow-up for you. We know the right departments to contact, generate clear descriptions, and keep your report active for 12 months, automatically matching it against new found items and community posts. You make one report; we handle the rest and alert you to matches.
Is ReportLost.org official or affiliated with the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not run by or officially part of the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office or Shoreview city government. However, we work with official channels like the sheriff's office, city hall, and transit authorities to ensure your report reaches the right places. Filing with us is a supplement to, not a replacement for, contacting the police or transit authority directly if your item is time-sensitive.
