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 Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost hamsters near Findlay Market, Cincinnati

Saturday around 4:00 p.m., I opened the window to let in some air in Over-the-Rhine and my two hamsters bolted from their cage. They disappeared toward the alley behind Findlay Market on Race Street, slipping past the mural near the entrance and darting out of sight. I chased through the market area and surrounding blocks, but they vanished into a gap in a fence and hid somewhere I can't reach. They're tiny: one is white with a brown patch, the other fluffy gray. I'm anxious and a little frantic because they're so small, and I fear they'll wander further away. If you saw them near Findlay Market, please keep an eye out for them.

Lost stamps at Findlay Market

This morning around 11:05 a.m., I realized my stamp album was missing from the tote I carry everywhere. I had it open on a vendor counter near the Findlay Market entrance while sorting a few stamps, and I must have set the album down for a moment and walked away. Those stamps are from my grandfather and carry years of family stories, more value in memory than money. If you saw a red stamp album or a small pile of loose stamps near the main entrance or around the market stalls, I’d appreciate any sighting that helps me reconnect with them.

Lost: Chairs in Cincinnati

Hi there, I am Jamie Lee. Last night, at about 7:15 p.m., my set of wooden dining chairs disappeared from the curb outside my apartment on Vine Street, near Findlay Market in Cincinnati. They are sturdy chairs with a warm honey finish and a slightly wobbly back leg on the right chair. I left them there while I carried groceries inside, and now they are gone. They are not just furniture to me -- they have been part of family dinners, late-night gatherings, and rain-soaked porch chats. If you have seen them, please leave a note on the site.

Lost devices near Findlay Market, Cincinnati

On Wednesday around 7:30 p.m., I realized I couldn't find my devices in the backpack I tossed on the bench outside Findlay Market in Cincinnati. It was a crowded evening, with people strolling by, and my tablet, a charger, and wireless headphones were in that bag. They’re essential for work and personal stuff, and losing them has been stressful. I retraced my steps through Over-the-Rhine, around the Market, but nothing turned up. If you found them, they were likely left near the Market entrance or inside the market area; please help.

Lost travel adapters near Fountain Square, Cincinnati.

Saturday around 3:15 PM, I slipped my travel adapters from my backpack while I waited for coffee near Fountain Square on Vine Street. I’d left them on a metal railing outside the cafe, and by the time I turned back they were gone. They’re just practical little things, but they’re essential for my laptop and phone during trips, and I feel exposed without them. If someone happened to find them, please help me bring them back to my day-to-day routine in Cincinnati.

Lost scarves in Cincinnati

I lost my scarves yesterday around 5:45 p.m. outside the Cincinnati Zoo on Vine Street, near the Washington Park entrance. They're a navy blue wool scarf with a thin red stripe along the edge, soft but well-worn from daily use. I had them during a walk through the park, and the chill settled in as the sun dipped below the buildings. If you found them, please keep them safe; I’ll be back by the fountain at Washington Park tomorrow evening to search again.
