City Of Minnetonka: Find Lost Property Through New Online Tool

Press release from the City of Minnetonka:

Lost your bike? Your wallet? Your dog?

Minnetonka Police Department has a new online tool to help residents recover lost and stolen property and pets.

The department is using foundrop.com to maintain a public inventory of recovered property. Residents can also report and search for missing property through the site.

Earlier this summer, the department was able to reunite a cyclist who lost their bike while driving. The cyclist later spotted the bike on Minnetonka's Foundrop webpage and was able to connect with the department to get it returned quickly.

“When something valuable goes missing, you don’t always know where to start the search,” said Kelly O’Donnell, police department crime scene and evidence specialist. “We’re pleased to have a one-stop resource for residents to find lost or stolen items.”

How it works

Search for Recovered Property

1. Minnetonka Police Department posts found property, including bikes, electronics, pets – just about anything! – on foundrop.com or through the mobile app.
2. Residents browse through photos of the recovered property to locate missing or stolen items.
3. Owners contact the police department to claim their lost property.

Post Lost or Stolen Property

1. Residents can report and post photos of lost or stolen property on foundrop.com or the mobile app.
2. The service notifies Minnetonka Police Department to be on the lookout for missing items.
3. The department contacts owners when property is recovered.
