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 Catskills 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 Catskills in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Canines near Kaaterskill Falls

I lost my Canines on the North-South Lake trail around 9:40 a.m. today. They slipped the leash when a cyclist sped past the pine grove near the old stone bridge. The mist hung over the lake as I called their names, but they vanished into the evergreens. These dogs are part of my daily life and have steadied me through tough times, so losing them today felt like losing a piece of myself. I retraced steps along the boardwalk by the fishing dock and near the maples where the leaves are turning. If you’ve seen them, please bring them home to the truck; I’m worried sick and just want them safe.

Lost dresses near Catskills Community Center

3:05 p.m. last Sunday, I was helping set up for a small charity event at the Catskills Community Center on Main Street in Saugerties when I discovered my dresses were nowhere to be found. They hung on a portable rack next to the folding chairs, one a pale pink gown and the other a navy beaded dress, both with delicate hems. The light filtered through the room in soft rectangles, and my heart tightened at the thought of losing them before the weekend. I’ve poured months into these pieces for the wedding, and I’m desperate to find them and bring them home.

Lost Student ID near Kaaterskill Falls, Catskills.

I was hiking toward Kaaterskill Falls around 6:20 p.m. last Sunday when I realized my student ID was missing from my jacket pocket. It's a blue plastic card with my name and a campus logo, a small scrap of paper with my student number. I rely on it for campus access and meal plans, and losing it has me worried about showing up to class. If someone finds it, I hope they can return it through the site.

Lost: Belts in Catskills, NY

I was hiking in the Catskills today and realized my Belts were missing around 2:30 p.m. near the North-South Lake overlook, after a scramble along the Esopus Creek trail. They are two brown leather belts with brass buckles, well worn from daily use. I have retraced the North-South Lake area and checked the parking lot by Kaaterskill Falls, but nothing turned up. If you found them, I would really appreciate returning them so I can stop worrying about the trip ahead.

Lost travel adapters near Phoenicia Diner, Catskills

I had my travel adapters in a small pouch when I stopped for coffee at the Phoenicia Diner around 8:15 p.m. last Friday after a day of hiking through the Catskills. I must have left them on the counter while I paid and chatted with the waitress about the view from the porch. The place smelled of hot coffee and apple pie, and the booths glowed amber as the sunset faded outside. I'm hoping someone picked them up and held onto them, because I rely on those little adapters to charge my phone while I'm on the road.

Leopard gecko with orange spots, missing

I lost my leopard gecko, Niko, yesterday around 3pm. He's about 3 inches long from head to tail, orange with black speckles and a slightly kinked tail from a past fall, plus a tiny white scar on his left hind toe. He lives in a small glass terrarium with a blue heat lamp and mossy cave décor, and I think he slipped under the sofa or slipped out the back door near the Phoenicia Diner on Main Street in Phoenicia, Catskills. If you spot him, drop me a note here—I'm really worried, he's been with me for years and means a lot to me.
