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 Fort Dodge 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 Fort Dodge in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost brooches in Fort Dodge, IA

On Friday at 5:30 p.m., I realized my two silver brooches were missing after I stopped by the Fort Dodge Public Library steps and wandered down Main Street. I’d worn them on a navy cardigan during a charity event, and they felt like tiny reminders from my grandmother. One is a small lotus with blue enamel, the other a simple silver leaf—both subtle but meaningful. I’m hoping someone picked them up in that stretch near the library and can help bring them back to their rightful owner.

Lost equipment for various sports in Fort Dodge, Iowa

Hi, I'm Olivia Carter. I lost my equipment for various sports on Monday morning, around 7:15 a.m., outside the Fort Dodge Recreation Center on 2nd Avenue. It's a black duffel with soccer cleats, a basketball, a tennis racket, and a bag of smaller items like socks and wrist bands. I remember pausing to tie my laces and then turning back to grab my bag, only to see it sticking out from under a bench as the wind picked up. It feels heavy in more ways than one—these things are tied to practices, teammates, and a lot of late-night efforts, and I hope they find their way back to me.

Lost GPS devices near Fort Dodge

Hi, I’m Michael Carter. I misplaced two GPS devices during an evening run around 8:10 pm on Thursday near Oleson Park and the Fort Dodge Public Library parking lot. One is a gray handheld Garmin in a rugged black case; the other is a small car GPS with a cracked screen, still in its sleeve. They were in my jacket pockets and I must have dropped them as I walked toward the library area. If someone happened to pick them up, I’d be grateful to have them returned.

Lost photographs in Fort Dodge

LOST: I lost my photographs yesterday around 4:00 PM near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Avenue. They’re tucked in a weathered blue accordion folder, a mix of old family portraits and travel prints. I was lingering on the library steps, sorting through the images as the light faded, when a gust swept the folder across the sidewalk. I’m worried about the memories these photos hold and hopeful someone thoughtful picked them up and kept them safe. They mean a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to recover them.

Lost gym clothes near Fort Dodge Public Library.

On Friday at 7:10 pm, after a Zumba class at the Fort Dodge Community Recreation Center, I hurried back to the locker area and realized my gym clothes were missing from locker near the pool. They’re a gray hoodie with neon-green accents and black leggings in a small, slightly frayed drawstring bag—my go-to gear for the whole week. I’m juggling early mornings and late shifts, and losing these clothes put a real wrench in my routine and mood. I retraced from the pool area to the main entrance, but I came up empty. If someone turned them in, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost: Travel Visas in Fort Dodge

I lost my travel visas in Fort Dodge, Iowa this afternoon. I had them tucked in a slim red folder inside the outer pocket of my backpack, and I realized they were gone around 4:10 PM near the Fort Dodge Public Library. This is urgent and stressful because those visas are essential for a trip I’ve been planning for months. I keep thinking they’ll turn up, maybe handed in by someone who found them on a bench, and I’m hopeful they’ll be returned to me safe and sound. If you’ve seen them, thank you for keeping an eye out.
