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 Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Breeds in Indianapolis

I misplaced a cherished set of breed reference cards during a late-night shoot at the Indianapolis City Market, around 9:15 PM on November 5. The stack included dog-breed portraits and a small notebook of breed notes, all tucked into a weathered tote bag. I must have left them in that bag on the bench near the market entrance when I stepped out to grab air along the Canal Walk. They mean a lot to my project about Indianapolis rescues, and I’m hoping they’ll turn up where I last stood—somewhere between there and the market lights.

Lost appliances in downtown Indianapolis.

I was walking back to my car near Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis around 8:10 PM last Friday when I realized my small box of appliances wasn’t with me. It held a toaster, a compact blender, and a coffee grinder—things I use every day. I retraced along Market Street and up toward the Circle Centre area, but the bag didn’t turn up. I’m hoping someone who found them sees this and can help me get them back to my home.

Lost Airline in Indianapolis

Hi, I’m Alex Kim. I lost an Airline this afternoon around 12:40 p.m. while I was rushing through downtown Indianapolis toward Circle Centre Mall. I must have dropped it somewhere near Monument Circle or along the concourse by the mall. The item contains an important travel itinerary and a few documents I need for an upcoming trip, and I’m sick with worry at the thought of not having it back. If you saw a stray slip or small blue envelope on the ground in that area, please keep it safe for the owner and I’ll come back as soon as possible.

Lost Xylophones in downtown Indianapolis

I’m the one who lost them. On Friday, around 3:15 PM, I left my xylophones on a chair by the east entrance of Circle Centre Mall in downtown Indianapolis while I ran inside to grab some sheet music. When I came back, the crowd had moved on and they were gone. The set is lightweight wood with bright painted bars and a small dent from a previous trip—those instruments are for our after-school music group and the kids rely on them. I’ll be at the same spot today, hoping someone who saw something will help bring them back.

Lost chargers near Monument Circle, Indianapolis

This morning around 8:45 a.m., I realized my chargers disappeared from my tote as I stepped out for coffee near Circle Centre Mall in downtown Indianapolis. I’ve got two chargers: a black USB-C fast charger and a white Apple brick with a blue cable, both tucked in a small gray pouch inside my bag. I was rushing to a conference and must have left them behind somewhere near Monument Circle while I grabbed a map from the kiosk. I need them for today’s sessions, and I’m hoping someone picked them up and saw the pouch tag. If found, please reach out through the site.
