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 Frederick 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 Frederick in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost wrist watches near Frederick City Hall.

On Friday night at 7:47 p.m., after a stroll through Baker Park and past Frederick City Hall, I realized my two wrist watches were gone. I had them on a bench near Market Street while I snapped a photo of the old storefront; when I turned back, they were missing. One is a silver stainless steel chronograph with a blue dial, the other a smaller black-faced piece with a cracked crystal. They aren’t just accessories—they’re a gift from my grandfather and my daily reminder to slow down. If someone found them, please keep them safe.

Lost GPS devices near Baker Park, Frederick, MD.

I was volunteering at a charity event in downtown Frederick when two GPS devices went missing from my tote. Around 8:15 p.m. last Saturday, I realized they weren't in my bag outside the Baker Park gazebo. One is a rugged Garmin in a black case; the other is a smaller handheld unit with a bright yellow strap. They are essential for the trail work our group does and mean a lot to me personally. If found, they should help us keep our routes mapped for the season.

Lost felines in Frederick — two tabby cats

I was loading groceries around 6:40 p.m. on Saturday when my two gray tabby cats slipped their carrier and disappeared near Baker Park. They’re siblings, about 9 months old, one with a white bib and the other with a tiny black dot on the tail. I’ve lived in Frederick for years, and the thought of them wandering the Carroll Creek path breaks my heart. If you spot them, please know they’re probably skittish around strangers but respond to treats and familiar voices.

Lost shopping bags in downtown Frederick

Late yesterday afternoon, I realized my shopping bags were missing after unloading groceries at the Safeway on West Patrick Street around 4:15 p.m. I was rushing to pick up my daughter from camp and must have set the black tote on the trunk, then drove away. The bag is a plain black tote with a small tear at the top and a few receipts sticking out. Inside were a couple of reusable bags, fresh basil, and a handwritten grocery list. I’m anxious but hopeful someone found them and kept them safe, maybe near Baker Park, until I can pick them up.

Lost hoops near Baker Park, Frederick

I realized my hoops were missing on Monday at 6:15 p.m. after I left a coffee shop on West Patrick Street in downtown Frederick. I walked from Carroll Creek Park toward the Frederick Station and Baker Park, but somewhere along that route my small gold hoops with a tiny pearl charm slipped out. I patted my pockets, checked the café floor, and asked the barista to peek behind the counter, but nothing surfaced. They were a sentimental gift from my sister, so losing them stung more than I expected. If you found them, I’d appreciate you letting me know through the site so I can collect them and take a breath again.

Lost Appliances in Frederick

Last night around 9:15 PM I realized my small appliances were missing as I walked along Market Street toward Carroll Creek Park in downtown Frederick. There were a few items—compact blender, travel kettle, and a small grinder—that I use every day. I must have set them down near the park when I stopped to help a neighbor, and now I’m worried they slipped away in the crowd. They’re not fancy, but they’re essential to my routine, and I’m hoping they’re found and brought back.
