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 Janesville 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 Janesville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost travel adapters in Janesville

I was packing for a trip yesterday evening and realized my travel adapters were missing as I left the Janesville Public Library around 7:20 p.m. They are small, black with a silver plug, and they are essential for charging my devices in different countries. I have retraced my steps along the library sidewalk and the bus stop, but I have not had any luck so far. I would be grateful to anyone who has them.

Lost swimsuits in Janesville near Riverside Park

Yesterday around 6:45 PM I realized my swimsuits were missing after a quick dip at Riverside Park in Janesville, near the Lincoln Avenue entrance by the Rock River. I had planned a weekend at the lake and the suits were my last-minute packing item. The water glowed pink in the sky, and now the emptiness of the bag sits heavy in my hands. If you happened to see anything around Riverside Park after 6:45 PM, please let the site know so I can sort this out through the platform.

Lost dresses in Janesville, WI

I lost my dresses this past Saturday around 4:15 PM in Janesville, Wisconsin. I’d been browsing the riverfront shops and had a black garment bag slung over my shoulder near the Rock River. A gust of wind knocked it against a bench, and by the time I looked back, the bag was gone into the crowd near the clock tower. The dresses mean a lot to me—the pale pink chiffon and a navy sheath I planned for my sister’s wedding next month. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If you were by the Janesville Mall or the riverwalk by the gazebo around that time, please think back to what you saw.

Lost medication near Riverside Park, Janesville

At 7:42 a.m. today, I was walking the Rock River trail by Riverside Park in Janesville, Wisconsin when I realized my medication bottle had slipped from my tote. The bottle is white with a blue cap and has my name printed on the label. I retraced my steps toward the Janesville Public Library and along the riverfront, but it didn’t turn up. Without it I feel scattered and anxious about keeping up with my daily routine, and I’m really hoping someone nearby picked it up and kept it safe.

Lost gym bags near Janesville YMCA

This morning at 7:05 a.m., I finished up a workout at the Janesville YMCA on Center Avenue and realized my gym bags were missing from the locker area. One bag is black with a red zipper, the other gray with a blue handle—both essentials I carry for practice and classes. I must have left them near the entrance while I was towel-drying off and stretching in the lobby, because I remember passing the reception desk and turning away to grab my water bottle. I’m worried about rain and the contents inside, and I hope someone local picked them up and kept them safe nearby.

Lost holiday decorations in Janesville

Saturday around 10:15 a.m., I was loading decorations into my car near Janesville’s Rotary Gardens when I realized a bin with our holiday décor had vanished from sight. It held garlands, red bows, a few glass ornaments, and a big star topper—the kind of stuff we drag out every December. The area around the gazebo by the Rotary Gardens felt colder without them, and I’ve been replaying the moment in my head since. They’re part of our family’s Christmas rituals, and I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.
