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 drapes in Dubuque, IA near Riverfront Park

I was rearranging the living room blinds in my apartment on 4th Street around 8:15 PM on Tuesday when the drapes slipped from the rod and disappeared. The window faces Riverfront Park, and the last light reflected off the dusty blue fabric as dusk settled over Dubuque. The drapes are heavy, with a subtle cream pattern, not easy to replace. I checked the living room again, the closet, and even the stairwell, calling out to my cat—nothing. I’m hopeful that someone found them and kept them safe, because they help keep the room warm and private at night.

Lost sports equipment bag near Dubuque Riverwalk.

LOST: I left my Equipment for Various Sports bag on a bench near the outdoor basketball court at the Dubuque Riverwalk along the Mississippi around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday. When I returned, the bag had disappeared. Inside are gear for multiple sports: a basketball, a soccer ball, a pair of running shoes, shin guards, and a dusty tennis racket. The bag is gray with a blue stripe and a small red logo. I’m frantic because we have a weekend league coming up, and these items are hard to replace. I retraced my steps along the Riverwalk and asked a few joggers and cafe workers, but there was no sign. If it turns up, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Lost handheld and console in Dubuque

I’m Casey Nguyen. Sunday around 3:15 PM, I left my handheld gaming console and a spare controller on a bench along the Mississippi Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque. It was a gray day, and I’d just grabbed a coffee from Java House and checked my messages when a breeze swept over the railing and the case with the devices vanished. I looked along the Riverwalk, near the Canal Street area and by the loading dock, but there was nothing. The handheld holds photos from family game nights, and losing it feels personal—like a small piece of my weekend ritual is gone. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to have it back where it belongs.

Lost suits near the courthouse, Dubuque

At about 4:30 pm on Tuesday, I realized my two suits were missing from the garment bag I left on a bench near the Dubuque County Courthouse on 2nd Street in downtown Dubuque. The navy bag held a navy suit and a charcoal suit—both essential for back-to-back interviews this week. I scoured along the riverfront and around Library Plaza, hoping they'd turn up somewhere obvious, but no luck yet. I’m hoping someone who found them kept them safe until they can be returned to the Lost and Found.
