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 Boulder 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 Boulder in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost chokers near Pearl Street Mall, Boulder

I was wandering the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder around 2:40 PM this past Saturday when my two chokers slipped from my pocket near the mall’s central fountain. They’re thin silver chains with tiny heart charms—one charm has a small ruby I bought on a trip to Santa Fe last year. They’re sentimental keepsakes from my sister, and I wear them every day. I retraced my steps along the pedestrian walkway and checked a bench by the bus stop, but nothing turned up. Losing them stings more than I can say.

Lost paintings on Pearl Street Mall, Boulder

While finishing a quick plein air painting session along Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, I parked near the east entrance around 2:30 PM on Tuesday and stepped into a cafe to warm up. I left the three canvases on the back seat of my van for a moment, and when I returned they had vanished. The paintings are three 18x24 landscapes in gold frames, with my signature in the lower right corner. They’re not just pictures to me; they’re months of work tied to my North Broadway studio, and losing them feels crushing.

Lost Breeds collection near Pearl Street Mall, Boulder

Last Tuesday around 7:50 p.m., I realized my Breeds notebooks were gone. I had just wrapped up a volunteer shift and was strolling along the Pearl Street Mall, behind the Boulder Public Library, when I must have set them on a bench near the fountain. I circled back along the Creek Path toward the Commons, but they weren't there. Those notebooks hold breed profiles and notes I use for rescue work, so losing them feels personal and frustrating. Please keep an eye out for them; they’re small but precious to my routine and memory.

Lost rabbits near Pearl Street Mall, Boulder

Yesterday at 4:35 p.m., I lost two rabbits while walking them along the Boulder Creek path near Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado. One is a brown lop named Nibbles; the other a gray speckled Dutch named Miso. They bolted when a dog barked and slipped from their harness in the busy pedestrian area. I miss their soft ears and their quiet companionship, and I’m anxious about their safety as the sun dips. If someone happens to spot them, I’d be grateful beyond words.
