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 Eastern Montana 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 Eastern Montana in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost chokers on Main Street, Miles City

I was downtown Miles City at about 2:30 PM on a sunny Wednesday, wandering the farmers market and thrift stalls on Main Street. My chokers—three black velvet pieces with simple silver clasps—were tucked in a small suede pouch inside my tote for a quick outfit change. I left them on the return rack by the Northern Plains Market while I tried on a scarf, and in the bustle of shoppers they must’ve slipped away. They shimmer when I wear them, and losing them feels like a small heartbreak. I’m keeping an eye out and hoping they’ll be found.

Lost postcards in Eastern Montana

Hi, I'm Lena Brooks. I lost a stack of postcards on a windy Thursday around 2:15 p.m. in Circle, MT, eastern Montana. They were tucked in a battered leather notebook I carry, postcards from family trips and a few stamps from last summer’s camping trip near the Milk River. It feels odd not having them—those little images carry memories of drives along the Milk River and the old depot near town. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them; those postcards mean everything to me.

Holiday decorations missing in Eastern Montana

I lost my holiday decorations around 7:30 p.m. on December 20 while setting up the town Christmas display along Main Street in Eastern Montana. My bag contained garlands, a string of star-shaped lights, and tinsel, and I left it on a bench outside the community center while I fetched extra hooks. When I returned, a chilly gust had scattered the pieces. This isn’t just about lights; these decorations carry memories of family gatherings and our town’s seasonal traditions. If anyone found them by the bench outside the Eastern Montana Community Center along Main Street, I’d be grateful they were kept safe.

Two pet rabbits missing near the eastern plains.

I lost my two rabbits this Saturday around 6:30 p.m. They’re a gray lop named Miso and a cream-colored mini rex called Poppy. I had them out in the yard by the east-facing chicken coop, and I must have left the gate ajar while I was rolling up a hose. I walked the edge of the town pasture, calling their names and listening for their tiny feet in the dry grass. I miss their soft ears and gentle nuzzles; they always kept me grounded after long days. If anyone saw them hopping along the county road on the eastern plains, please let me know through the site.

LOST: Devices in Eastern Montana

Late Thursday at 8:15pm, I realized my devices were missing from the cab after a long haul across eastern Montana. I must have set them down while I stretched at the Flying J Travel Center off I-90 just east of Miles City. The laptop bag and phone were in a gray case with a soft lining; they’re essential for work and school. I retraced my steps and searched every nearby corner, but they didn’t reappear. I hope whoever found them understands how important they are and can help reunite me with them.

Lost: two flutes near Miles City's Garfield Park

I was cleaning up after practice at Miles City's Garfield Park around 6:15 p.m. last Friday when I realized my two flutes were gone. There's a silver student flute with a scratch near the lip and a darker wooden flute with a simple leaf carving. I love playing those parts at school concerts, and the thought of them sitting on a bench breaks my heart. I come back through the river trail and the duck pond, hands empty, and the sky had a quiet purple dusk over the eastern plains. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful beyond words.
