How it works in St. Francis
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We ask just enough to make your report count and route it effectively to St. Francis PD and other local channels.
We route it to the right places
We send your report to the St. Francis Police Department (non-emergency dispatch and their lost & found line), the correct Anoka County contacts, and relevant local pet networks if needed. No runaround, no repeating yourself.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and matched against new found items, community posts, and local marketplace listings. You don't have to check Facebook groups or PawBoost daily, because your report is working for you in the background.
Where to report lost items in St. Francis
Here's what each channel covers and how ReportLost connects you to them.
St. Francis Police Department
The police department keeps a lost and found for items turned in around town. Call their office to report or check on your loss. We can tell you exactly what information the police need and help you follow up, so you're not left wondering what happened to your report.
St. Francis City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department for your specific loss and advise on local procedures. They're also a good resource if you need to follow up on an item left in a public building or city facility.
Lost and Found Pets
If your cat or dog has wandered off, Anoka County Animal Control and the St. Francis pet community spring into action fast. Local Facebook groups and PawBoost are primary channels, but coordinating across all of them takes time. We connect you to all the right networks and file a priority lost pet report that stays live while the search continues.

MSP Airport (if you lost something while traveling)
St. Francis residents often pass through Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. If your loss happened at the airport, their dedicated lost and found team operates during specific hours. We help you identify the right terminal desk and generate the info to include in your report.

Getting your report filed today makes a real difference
The sooner you report, the sooner the St. Francis Police, local pet networks, and community channels are aware of your loss. Once your report is in, our team takes care of the routing and your report keeps working for you month after month.
Report my lost item →St. Francis has a close-knit community, but when your wallet, phone, ring, or beloved pet goes missing, the channels to report it scatter across the St. Francis Police Department, Anoka County Animal Control, Facebook pet groups, and lost & found pages. You end up making multiple calls, filling out separate forms, and hoping someone finds it before it's too late to reclaim.
ReportLost simplifies that chaos. File once with us, and we notify the St. Francis PD, route your description to local animal rescue networks, and post to the right community channels. Better yet, your report stays active for months, automatically checking new found items and community posts so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing lost pet groups every hour.

Common questions about reporting a loss in St. Francis
How long will the St. Francis Police keep a lost item?
Most police departments hold items for 30 to 90 days before disposing of them. Check with the St. Francis PD at 763-753-1264 to ask about your specific item and how long they'll hold it. ReportLost keeps your report active much longer, continuing to match it against new posts and findings for up to 12 months.
What should I do if I lose a pet in St. Francis?
Call Anoka County Non-Emergency Dispatch at 763-427-1212 immediately, post in the St. Francis, Big Lake, Orrock Lost and Found Pets Facebook group, and contact local animal rescues. With ReportLost, we file a priority lost pet report and ensure all channels receive your pet's description at once.
If I lose something at MSP Airport, should I report it to the airport or the city?
Report directly to MSP Lost & Found at 612-726-5555 or visit the office on the valet level of Terminal 1 (open 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). ReportLost can help you prepare the right details to include and remind you of their hours so you don't miss the window.
Can I report a loss even if I'm not sure exactly where I lost it?
Yes. Tell us the general area or last place you remember having it, and any details about the item itself. ReportLost will work with that information to route your report appropriately. The more details you add, the better the chances of a match.
Why does ReportLost keep my report active for months instead of just a few weeks?
People find lost items weeks or even months after they go missing, especially in community spaces and lost & found storage. Your report stays active so it can match against new found items, posts, and marketplace listings that come in long after you filed. You don't have to keep re-reporting or obsessively checking social media, because your report is continuously searching on your behalf.
Is ReportLost.org official or does it replace calling the St. Francis Police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the St. Francis Police Department or any government agency. We don't replace the police or the official lost & found process, but we streamline it. We file your report with them and other relevant channels for you, and keep your report active much longer than you could manage alone. We're here to make the whole process less stressful and more effective.
