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 Brainerd 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 Brainerd in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost paintings near downtown Brainerd, tonight

I was wrapping up a small show at the Brainerd Public Library on 3rd Street when I stepped outside to stretch my legs at 6:18 PM yesterday. Two of my paintings, works I’ve been carrying between studios for weeks, disappeared from the easel at the back of the building. They’re medium-sized abstract landscapes with bold blues and gold accents, and one edge has a faint coffee stain I can’t shake. I’m heartbroken—these paintings were created over the last six months and feel like a piece of my story. Please keep an eye out around the Brainerd Public Library steps.

Lost holiday decorations in Brainerd near Gregory Park

I’m the owner of these holiday decorations. Friday evening at 6:45 pm I was taking down the decorations from the porch of my house on 3rd Street South, Brainerd, when a gust of wind swept the box away toward Gregory Park. The box held string lights, garlands, a few fragile ornaments, and a light-up candy-cane display. I’d been looking forward to a cozy display, and losing them feels like a little loss of holiday spirit. If these are found, please reach out through the site so we can arrange a pickup near Brainerd City Hall or at the park entrance where I last saw them.

Lost travel bags near Paul Bunyan statue, Brainerd

I was in Brainerd last Friday around 6:15 pm, sitting on a bench outside a café near the Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Brainerd when my travel bags disappeared from beside me. They’re two rolling duffel bags, one black with a red zipper and the other blue with a white stripe. Inside are everyday clothes for a weekend trip, a worn leather journal, and a passport holder—things I’d need for my next plane ride. I’ve felt a heavy knot in my chest since, imagining them abandoned somewhere cold or forgotten. If you’ve seen them or know where they turned up, please message me through the site so we can figure out next steps together.

Lost sheets in Brainerd, Minnesota

I lost my sheets last Tuesday around 9:15 PM in the Brainerd Public Library parking lot after a quick stop at a coffee shop on 7th Street. They’re a plain queen-size white set, with a thin gray stripe along the edge. They mean a lot to me because they’re for my grandmother’s bed and she’s staying with us this week. I remember folding them neatly on the back seat of my sedan, then driving away without realizing they’d slipped from the trunk. If you saw them anywhere near the library entrance or the loading zone, please keep them safe. Losing them feels like I let her down, and I’m hoping to bring home a little calm for our home.

Lost Xylophones in Brainerd, Minnesota

I lost my two xylophones last Saturday at 4:12 p.m. in Brainerd, Minnesota, United States, backstage at the Brainerd Community Theater on Pine Street. I’d left them near the prop table after rehearsal, and when I turned around they were gone. The pair are bright red with a few chipped corners and a sticker that reads Kids Music Club on one frame. My heart sank—the kids in our after-school program rely on those instruments, and I’m hoping they’re just misplaced by a neighbor. If you’ve seen them around downtown Brainerd, please keep an eye out.

Lost gym clothes near Brainerd High School gym

Last Tuesday after a 7:30 p.m. spin class at Brainerd High School gym, I realized my gym clothes weren't in my bag. My red hoodie with the team logo and a pair of black shorts were missing; I’d packed them for practice and felt exposed without them. I keep thinking someone must have picked them up by mistake; they’re the only clean kit I have for the week. If this sounds familiar, I hope the listing helps us reconnect. Please help me get them back so I can train tomorrow.
