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 La Crosse 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 La Crosse in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Gym bags near YMCA, La Crosse

Hey, I’m Taylor Reed. I left my gym bags behind in the locker room at the YMCA on 4th Street in La Crosse around 6:40 p.m. after a sweaty workout. I must’ve doubled back to grab a water bottle and forgot them. The bags are gray with a blue zipper and have my name on a sticker. Inside are a pair of running shoes, a hoodie, and a towel that always smells like pine. I’m anxious about the contents because I’ve got a busy week ahead and I’d hate to lose something irreplaceable.

Lost: Shoes after Riverside Park walk

I realized my black running shoes were missing around 6:50 PM on Tuesday after a quick jog along the riverside trail at Riverside Park in La Crosse. I retraced toward the skate park and the park’s shelter, but they weren’t there. They’re well-worn sneakers with white soles and a small blue mark on the heel, my go-to pair for workouts. If someone found them by the pavilion or near the river overlook, I’d appreciate a quick note on the site so I can pick them up.

LOST Hoops in La Crosse, Wisconsin

LOST Hoops. I stepped out of Pearl Street Bar & Grill on Main Street around 5:40 p.m. Tuesday and realized my gold hoop earrings were gone. I’d been talking with a friend near Riverside Park, and I probably brushed against a gust that knocked them loose. I walked the block twice, checked the sidewalks and benches, and even peered behind a bike rack, but they vanished. Those hoops are my daily comfort, and I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If you found them, please drop them off at the downtown lost-and-found.

Lost work cases in La Crosse, WI

At 5:30 PM this past Friday I was walking out from the La Crosse Center and realized my work cases were missing. I had set them down briefly by the Riverside Park entrance near the Mississippi River while I adjusted my backpack. The cases are black leather with my initials EC on the zipper and a few project notes peeking out. I’m stressed about deadlines and the thought of lost work is weighing on me. If someone picked them up, I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.

Lost sheet music in La Crosse by Riverside Park

I was sitting on a bench near Riverside Park, La Crosse, just after 6:50 p.m. last Friday when my sheet music for a Chopin nocturne slid from my binder and disappeared into the grass and trees around the riverfront. The pages have a green cover, with a coffee stain on the corner and a few dog-eared practice marks. Losing it felt like I misplaced a part of my routine and my mood dropped with the river breeze. If you found it, please keep it safe by the bandstand area so I can retrieve it when I return to practice.

Lost Lamps in La Crosse

LOST: Yesterday around 6:15 PM I was unloading boxes at my La Crosse apartment and must have left these lamps on the hallway table when I rushed out toward Riverside Park. The lamps are tall with brass bases and warm cream shades. I last walked east on 3rd Street, looping toward the Pump House by the Mississippi River, hoping to catch the sunset. They’re simple, but they brighten up my living room and I miss them already.
