How ReportLost works in Stillwater
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed so the right people get the right information.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to the Stillwater Police Department, relevant lost and found offices, and active local social channels where your item is most likely to turn up.
Your report keeps searching for a match
We don't just file and forget. Your report stays active and continues to cross-reference new found items, local posts, and community listings. You'll get an alert the moment a credible match appears.
Where lost items turn up in Stillwater
These are the official channels. We'll tell you which ones to contact and what information to include.
Stillwater Police Department
The police hold lost property reported to them and also maintain records. If your item was turned in to a local business or found on the street, it often ends up here. We identify your loss location and prepare the details for you to file a report.
City of Stillwater Administration
City offices sometimes receive items left in public buildings or parks. Calling the main city number connects you to the right department, and we can help you generate a clear description of what was lost and where.
School Bus (Schmitty & Sons)
Items left on Stillwater Area Public Schools buses go to the transportation provider. They keep a lost and found bin for several weeks. We'll point you to the right contact so you can ask if your item has been turned in.
Lost or Found Pet
If your cat or dog went missing, time matters. The Stillwater MN Area Lost and Found Pets Facebook group is the first place to post, and local animal control can help with the search. For a faster, more complete search covering all the places pets end up, file a priority lost pet report.
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)
If you lost an item while traveling through MSP, the airport's lost and found holds items and can be contacted directly. We can help you describe your item clearly and suggest the best way to follow up.

Report my lost item →Losing a wallet, phone, or keys in Stillwater means contacting the police, checking the bus lost and found, posting on Facebook, and then refreshing those same channels every day hoping someone found it. That's exhausting, and you'll likely miss a match while you're sleeping or working. ReportLost simplifies everything: one report, one submission, and your information reaches all the places that matter.
The real difference is that your report doesn't stop working once you hit submit. It stays active for months, continuously comparing new found items and community posts against your description so you never have to manually check again. Once you've reported, you can breathe easy knowing the search is on.

Questions about lost items in Stillwater
How long does the Stillwater Police Department hold lost items?
The police typically hold lost property for a reasonable period before disposing of it. We recommend contacting them within the first week at 651-351-4900, but the sooner the better. When you file a report with us, we make sure they have your complete description and contact information.
What happens if my item is found on a school bus?
Items left on Stillwater Area Public Schools buses are collected by Schmitty & Sons (the transportation provider). Call them at 651-309-4601 to ask if your item has been turned in. We'll help you describe it clearly when you report.
Where should I look first if I lost something downtown?
Check with the business where you were last (café, shop, restaurant) immediately. If it's not there, contact the Stillwater Police Department so it can be logged. We'll route your report to them and make sure they have your details.
Can I report a lost pet through ReportLost?
Yes. Lost pets need immediate visibility and specialized handling. We have a dedicated lost pet report option that alerts animal control, local shelters, and the Stillwater MN Area Lost and Found Pets Facebook group all at once. File a priority lost pet report for faster results.
What if I lost my item at the airport?
MSP Lost and Found is located on the valet level of Terminal 1. Call them at 612-726-5555 during business hours. We can help you describe your item and make sure they have your contact information when you file your report.
Is ReportLost.org official? Does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service, not affiliated with the Stillwater Police Department or any government agency. We're a legal shortcut that handles the legwork of contacting the right offices, posting to community channels, and keeping your report active so you don't have to refresh those channels every day. If your item has value or was stolen, you may still want to file an official police report separately, but we'll make sure the police have your information and description either way.
