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 Wayne 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 Wayne in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Gray North Face Borealis backpack

I lost my gray North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on Jefferson Blvd in Fort Wayne. It's a mid-size bag, about 28 liters, made of water-resistant gray fabric with black straps and bright yellow zipper pulls. There’s a small blue enamel compass pin on the front pocket and a frayed edge at the bottom from daily use. Inside are my chemistry notebook, a red rain jacket, and my student ID—this bag is my daily carry to work, and it means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate it if someone spotted it and could return it.

Navy blue knit scarf with compass pin

I lost my navy blue knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Embassy Theatre on Jefferson Boulevard in Fort Wayne. It's a medium-thick scarf, about 70 inches long, with a brass compass pin sewn near the left end and a tiny turquoise snag in the fringe. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me, so I really need it back. If you found it, I'd be grateful to get it back; you can reach me at [email protected].

Red leather coin case with 25 vintage coins

Category: Collectors Items. I lost my red leather coin case with about 25 vintage coins yesterday around 3pm in downtown Fort Wayne, near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on Jefferson Boulevard. The case is a small red zip pouch with a brass zipper pull and a faint stamp that reads 'Fort Wayne Collectors Club' on the front. Inside are coins from the 1910s through the 1960s, plus a tiny handwritten note that says 'For Dad' tucked in the inner flap. A few coins have a light green patina and one coin is a little bent, which should help identify it. Losing it hits hard—these coins were a gift from my grandfather and they mean a lot to me.

Black hospital ID badge on red lanyard

I lost my black hospital ID badge yesterday around 3pm near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on West Jefferson Boulevard in Fort Wayne. It's in a clear plastic sleeve on a bright red lanyard with a small silver clip. The badge shows my name, Priya Patel, a small portrait photo, and the St. Mary's Medical Center logo; there's a coffee stain on the bottom edge of the sleeve and a few scuffs on the clip. This badge is essential for daily shift check-ins and access to restricted areas, so I’m really hoping it turns up soon.

Silver-tone bracelet with blue heart charm

I lost my silver-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art on Berry Street. It's a 7-inch curb chain with a small powder-blue enamel heart charm and an 'A' engraved on the back, with a light brushed finish. There’s a tiny scratch near the clasp, and this bracelet has huge sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone spotted it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I’ve been worried since yesterday afternoon.

Navy North Face parka with orange lining

I lost my navy blue The North Face parka yesterday around 3pm. It's a men's XL Arctic Parka with a bright orange inner lining that peeks out when I unzip the front, and there's a small white stain on the right sleeve near the cuff plus a tiny tear along the left pocket seam. I had it when I left the Grand Wayne Center on West Washington Blvd in Fort Wayne, stepping out to the sidewalk by the main entrance after a quick meeting. It really feels like part of me this winter since it was a gift from my mom last year and I’ve worn it almost every day; if anyone found it, I’d really appreciate it being returned.
