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 Dubuque 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 Dubuque in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Sandals in Dubuque

Ava Larson here. I was jogging along the Dubuque Riverfront Trail by Riverfront Park around 5:45 p.m. on Sunday, and my tan leather sandals with bright pink straps slipped off at the railing near the Julien Dubuque Bridge. They’re worn but comfortable, with one strap a tad loose and a small scuff on the left toe. I’m tired from a long week of chores and errands, and I miss the simple relief they give after a day outdoors. It’s enough to make me hope someone picked them up and kept them nearby.

Lost Driver's License in Dubuque

On Friday around 2:10 p.m., I realized my driver's license was missing while I was waiting for my coffee at Riverwalk Cafe near the Main Street Bridge along the Mississippi in Dubuque. I must have slipped it from my wallet somewhere between the cafe and the riverfront path. The license is in a standard blue wallet with my name on it. I really need to find it before my trip next week, and I am holding onto hope that it will turn up.

Two microwaves lost near Dubuque Riverfront

I was loading two microwaves into the back of my pickup after a quick trip to the store along Main Street near the Riverfront in Dubuque. It was about 6:45 p.m. yesterday when a momentary distraction had me turn away to grab my jacket, and the tailgate slipped free. By the time I realized, the two stainless steel microwaves were gone. They are identical models, both a dark gray with white handles, and they were my apartment's only quick heat option as I settle into a new place. I am scrambling to replace them and remain hopeful that someone saw them and will return them via the site.

I lost a handful of coins near the Riverwalk.

I was strolling the Dubuque Riverwalk by the Diamond Jo Casino around 3:45 pm yesterday when I realized my pocket felt lighter. I had been counting coins—mostly old pennies, a dented silver dime, and a tiny keepsake from my grandfather. The river glowed in the late light and families lingered by the marina, making the moment feel busier than it was. I retraced my steps along the railing, past the benches, and by the small pier, but I couldn’t find them. Those coins aren’t valuable, but they mean a lot to me, and I’m praying someone picked them up and kept them safe until I could return to the dockside kiosk.

Lost utensils near Riverwalk, Dubuque

I was helping prep a small dinner along the Mississippi at the Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino when I must have dropped my utensils. By 6:15 pm on Sunday, the crowd drifted along the riverfront, and I couldn't find the set, a battered stainless spoon, a wooden spatula, and a chipped ladle. Those utensils mean a lot to me because they were my grandmother's, the ones she used to stir soup on chilly Dubuque evenings. I retraced from the riverfront overlook toward the fountain and back along the pedestrian bridge, but I didn't spot them, and I'm hoping a kind passer-by held onto them until I could return.
