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 Kansas City 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 Kansas City in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Navy blue silk ties near Union Station

Hi, I'm Jamie Lee. I lost my navy blue silk tie with a thin silver stripe around Union Station in Kansas City at 4:10 p.m. yesterday. I had unpacked quickly after a meeting, set the tie on a bench by the information desk, and then grabbed my bag to make the train. When I looked back, it was gone. It’s the only tie I own that feels right for job interviews, and I’m anxious about the week ahead. If you found a neatly folded navy tie on or near the bench by the Union Station information desk, that’s probably mine.

Lost Document Holders in Kansas City City Market

Yesterday around 2:30 PM I was in the Kansas City City Market area when my Document Holders slipped from my bag. They’re brown leather, a little scuffed, with a slim metal clasp that creaks when you open it. They held my work files, travel receipts, and a few personal notes, and losing them felt like dropping a chapter of my life. I scoured the brick paths between the stalls, asked a few vendors, and retraced to the 5th Street entrance by Delaware. I’m hoping someone picked them up and will return them; they’re more than just folders to me.

Lost: Small silver stud earrings

I was grabbing a late coffee after a Chiefs watch party and a walk through Union Station in Kansas City, MO around 7:15 p.m. yesterday when my small silver stud earrings must have slipped from my jacket pocket. They're a simple, everyday pair, but they carry a lot of sentimental value—the kind my grandmother gave me years ago. I retraced my steps through the Union Station concourse, scanning the floor and the benches, but the earrings vanished into the crowd. I’m hopeful someone picked them up and set them aside; losing them feels like losing a memory.

Lost coins in City Market area, Kansas City

Hi, I'm Jordan Collins. I misplaced my coin collection while browsing the City Market area this morning, around 10:40 a.m. I had it tucked into a small blue denim pouch with a faded logo, and I must have set it down while I checked a vendor's display near the fountain. The collection isn't valuable in money, but it matters to me: pennies from the 1940s, a few foreign coins, and a worn silver dollar that belonged to my grandfather. I retraced the brick walkways and checked the stalls from the market to Union Station, but the pouch vanished into the crowd. It feels personal and I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe. Please contact through the site if you recognize it.

LOST: Student ID

I lost my student ID on Tuesday around 6:45 PM near Union Station in Kansas City. The card has my photo and name, and it's essential for class check-ins and library access. I remember heading to the bus stop after a long day and must have dropped it on the plaza outside Union Station's doors. Without it, I can't get into the campus facilities, which makes mornings stressful. Losing something with my face on it feels personal and frustrating, but I stay hopeful that it will turn up with the right person.

Lost sheet music in Crossroads Arts District

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson, a pianist studying in Kansas City. I had my sheet music for a recital in the Crossroads Arts District around 2:15 p.m. yesterday, tucked into a black binder in my backpack. I stopped for a quick coffee at a shop on 19th Street, and when I stepped back outside, a gust blew the binder shut, and the pages got lost. I retraced my steps along the brick storefronts, by J. Rieger & Co. and the fountain, but I couldn’t locate them. These are irreplaceable practice copies with notes I’ll need for the performance.
