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 Humboldt County 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 Humboldt County in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost memory cards near Arcata Plaza

I lost memory cards around 4:45 p.m. last Friday after a quick photo walk near Arcata Plaza. They were tucked in a small black pouch inside my camera bag, and I must have dropped them while trading lenses by the courthouse steps. Those cards hold travel photos from a summer road trip through Humboldt County, plus a few personal shoots that meant a lot to me. I’m hoping someone honest picked them up and left them somewhere safe. If you found them, please hold onto them; I’ll be grateful and relieved to have them back.

Lost USB drives in Humboldt County, CA

I’m a designer who realized two USB drives were missing after leaving a cafe in Humboldt County around 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday. I last had them in my backpack near Old Town Eureka, and I retraced steps through Arcata and Eureka, asking staff and checking cars, but they haven’t turned up. The drives are in a gray silicone case with a red zipper; one has a pinecone sticker and a few personal files, while the other holds photos from recent trips. Losing them feels like losing work and memories. If you found them anywhere in Humboldt County, please let me know; I’d really like them back.

Lost terrariums near Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County

On Friday around 4:45 p.m., I realized my two terrariums were missing from a bench along the Humboldt Bay waterfront in Humboldt County, California, United States. The glass domes held tiny ferns, moss, and a couple of succulents, and one had a little air plant peeking out. I’d been chatting with friends and took a quick photo when the breeze knocked the tote off the chair. I searched the area around Old Town Eureka, but they weren’t there. These terrariums matter to me because they were part of a gift for a friend. If you found them, please check this listing on the site.

Studs lost in Humboldt County

Hi, I’m Grace Miller. I realized this afternoon around 4:15 p.m. that one of my silver stud earrings was missing while I was walking through Arcata Plaza in Arcata, near the gazebo and the fountain. They’re simple, curved posts with a tiny pearl at the center; one is a little more worn than the other. I’ve retraced from Redwood Coffee to the Humboldt County Courthouse, but I’m afraid they vanished somewhere between there and the Old Town area. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can get them back to my ears.

LOST: Hats in Humboldt County

Hello, I am Noah Kim. I was at Arcata Plaza around 3:30 PM yesterday, browsing the weekend market with my two felt hats, one charcoal gray and one tan with a feather in the band, tucked into the back pocket of my jacket. A gust rolled up from Humboldt Bay and knocked them from the bench, and by the time I turned back they were gone. These hats are not just clothing; they are travel memories and a little luck I carry with me on road trips up the redwoods. If you spotted them around Arcata Plaza or near the Humboldt County Library, please keep them safe.

Pins lost in Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County

I LOST my enamel pins. I was wandering through Old Town Eureka around 3:15 p.m. last Sunday when my pins slipped from my denim jacket and vanished into the crowd. The set includes a lighthouse pin and a Humboldt map pin—tiny reminders of our North Coast road trip. I have walked the sidewalks from the Carson Mansion to the plaza, checked the market stalls twice, and asked nearby shop staff, but they are gone. Those pins mean a lot to me, and I am hoping they are simply misplaced somewhere nearby. If anyone found them, please leave a note on the site.
