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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost paintings in Ithaca, near Ho Plaza

Hi, I’m Daniel Brooks. I’m feeling anxious after realizing my two paintings never made it out of my studio last night. It was around 7:42 p.m. on Tuesday when I left them leaning against the wall outside the Johnson Museum’s entrance, just off Ho Plaza, while I rushed to catch the bus. The canvases are fairly large: one shows a stormy lake, the other a sunlit field—both are my own work and signed in the corner. I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe. Please reach out through the site if these look familiar; I’d be grateful to arrange a pickup on or near Cornell’s campus.

Lost sandals near Ithaca Commons

Last night around 7:30 p.m., I was walking back toward the Ithaca Commons after a long shift at the student center. I kicked off my sandals on the brick steps outside the Ithaca Bakery on Green Street, right by the little fountain near the bus stop. A gust of wind must have swept them away, because when I looked up, they were gone. They’re my go-to pair—soft, with worn leather and a slim blue strap—perfect for everyday comfort. I’m hoping someone picked them up and set them aside, because I’d hate to start my weekend without them.
