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 Brownsville 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 Brownsville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost 'Wild and Domestic' near Gladys Porter Zoo

I was leaving the Gladys Porter Zoo parking lot around 4:20 p.m. this afternoon when I realized my copy of 'Wild and Domestic' wasn’t in my tote anymore. It’s a small paperback with a red cover and the title printed in black along the spine, a bookmark sticking out on page 97. I’d been taking notes after the giraffes, and I must have set it down on the bench near the main entrance. I’m anxious to find it because it’s my only copy for class tomorrow. If you found it, please let the site help reunite it with me.

Lost: Toasters missing from apartment kitchen.

At 7:40 a.m. yesterday, I realized my toasters were missing from the kitchen in my apartment on East Adams Street, Brownsville. I retraced my steps from the lobby to Market Square, asking neighbors who passed by and checking the nearby Brownsville Convention Center area. Those toasters were a small reminder of family breakfasts and a gift from my grandmother, and losing them has felt frustrating and a little lonely. If you saw them around Market Square or the convention center area, I would appreciate any sightings posted here.

Lost travel adapters in Brownsville Market Square

At 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, I was at Market Square in Brownsville, sorting through my backpack after a delayed flight. I think I set my travel adapters down on a bench by the information booth while I checked a map for dinner. When I looked again, they were gone: two compact adapters and a European plug in a black zip pouch. They’re essential for charging my devices on this quick Texas trip, and I’m hoping a good Samaritan picked them up. If you found them, please drop them off at Market Square’s information desk or message me through the site.

Lost coins near Gladys Porter Zoo, Brownsville

Hi, I'm Maria Garcia. I was at the Gladys Porter Zoo around 7:30 PM last Friday, near the main entrance by the gift shop, when I realized I had lost my coins. The coins are a small keepsake: a penny from the 1940s, a silver dollar from my grandfather, and a couple of old arcade tokens—nothing fancy, but they carry a lot of memory for me. I miss them deeply and hope whoever picked them up can return them so I can keep the memory alive. If you found them, please return them so I can keep the memory alive.

Lost hamsters near Brownsville Public Library

On Sunday around 6:40 p.m., I was near the Brownsville Public Library on Ringgold Street when my two hamsters got loose from their travel carrier. I chased them through the plaza and around the entrance, but they vanished into a hedge by the sidewalk. They’re small and fast—one is a fluffy grey dwarf named Pebbles, the other a brown-and-white Syrian named Oreo. I’m stressed because their safety means everything to me, and I’m counting on a kind local to help bring them home.

Lost Handheld and Console in Brownsville

Today at 9:15 AM I realized my Handheld and Console was missing after I grabbed coffee near the downtown Brownsville bus terminal. I last saw it on a bench near the entrance by 5th Street, and I retraced my steps along Elizabeth Street, but it was gone. It's a black handheld device with a blue bumper and a cracked screen protector. It helps me unwind after long shifts, and I feel uneasy without it. If you found it, please keep it safe—that item means a lot to me, and I can't shake the memory of the moment I realized it wasn't in my bag. I hope it finds its way back to me.
