Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Boone are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Boone in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost silver studs near ASU gardens

I’m posting because I lost my silver stud earrings somewhere near the Daniel Boone Native Gardens on the Appalachian State University campus in Boone, NC. It was around 6:05 p.m. last Saturday, after I paused at a stone bench near the library and wandered toward the gardens. The studs are small, delicate settings with a tiny clear stone; one back is missing, so I worry it rolled under a planter or into the grass. I’ve retraced the route from the student center to the gardens, hoping a passerby picked them up.

Lost collars near ASU Boone campus

I was walking my dogs along Rivers Street by Appalachian State University yesterday around 5:40 PM when the collars slipped from their leashes. One collar is red with a tiny silver tag that reads 'Bailey'; the other is blue with a paw-print charm. I’m anxious because those IDs help them get home, and I miss them already. If you found them around ASU’s campus or by Moses Cone Park, please keep them safe.

Lost terrariums in Boone, NC

I was wandering downtown Boone on Sunday afternoon, around 4:45 PM, after popping into Mast General Store and a couple of thrift shops. Back at my car near the Horn in the West, the terrariums were missing from a tote bag I’d left on the passenger seat. They’re delicate glass bowls with tiny live plants—a tiny fern in one and moss in the other—and they mean a lot to me as a gift from a friend. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to reunite with them.

Lost handheld console in downtown Boone, NC.

I was walking through downtown Boone around 6:15 p.m. last Friday, heading toward the Mast General Store on King Street when I realized my handheld console had slipped from my pocket. It's a black handheld device with a blue silicone case and a small dent on the corner. I retraced steps along the sidewalk by the old theater and outside the coffee shop, but the crowd was thick and I couldn't spot it. This console matters to me—it's how I unwind after long class days at Appalachian State University. If anyone found it, I just want it back where it belongs.

Lost DVDs outside ASU library, Boone

I lost a stack of DVDs somewhere around Boone, NC. I was walking back from the Appalachian State University library on Rivers Street at 6:15 p.m. last Tuesday, and I must have slipped them from my backpack during a quick chat with a friend. They’re a mix of sci‑fi classics and a couple of old comedy films I’ve watched a hundred times. They’re irreplaceable to me, not because of the value, but because of the memories attached to them from movie nights with my family. If you find them, please hold onto them for now.

lost: Equipment for sports in Boone

Lost equipment for various sports in Boone on Saturday around 6:30 p.m. I had just finished practice near Mast General Store on North King Street and set a black duffel bag down on a bench outside. The bag contains a basketball, two tennis rackets, a soccer ball, and some protective gloves; there’s a red stripe and my initials on a tag. I’m anxious about upcoming games and the season, and I keep replaying where I last had it. If someone found it around the Mast General Store area, I’d be grateful to have it returned.
