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 Lafayette 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 Lafayette in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost satchels near Cajundome, Lafayette

Yesterday around 4:30 p.m. I realized my satchels were missing while strolling down Jefferson Street after the Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market, heading toward Congress Street. My satchels hold notebooks, a sketchbook, and a small camera I use for school and work. I last remember them near the Cajundome parking area, by a cafe with a yellow awning. I am anxious about the contents; they are not priceless, but they are important for my classes and art. If you have seen them or picked them up, please keep them safe near the Cajundome area or along Jefferson Street.

Lost student ID near UL Lafayette

I lost my student ID this afternoon around 3:30 PM while rushing between classes on the UL Lafayette campus. I had been near the Student Union by the clock tower on South University Avenue when I must have set it down somewhere along the way. The card is a standard blue-lanyard ID with my name and a small university sticker. I have retraced my steps and asked around, but no luck yet, and this ID is essential for exams and library access. If you find it, please know it belongs to me and it matters a lot.

Lost hand tools around the Cajundome area—please help.

I was tidying up behind a hardware store near the Cajundome in Lafayette after finishing a small home project at 3:15 pm on Saturday. I left my hand tools on a tarp and stepped away to grab a coffee from a vendor along University Avenue. When I came back, they were gone, and I could hear the crowd starting up for a festival nearby. The set includes a hammer, two screwdrivers, pliers, and a tape measure with a red strap. They’re my go-to kit for simple repairs around the house, and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost DVDs near Acadiana Center for the Arts, Lafayette

I realized around 7:20 PM on Saturday that my DVDs were missing after I stopped for a quick coffee on Jefferson Street, near the Acadiana Center for the Arts. I must have left the tote in the car or on a chair in a cafe across from the Lafayette Market. The set includes six classic crime films with blue-tinted spines. It hurts to misplace them because they’re a reminder of movie nights with a friend; I’d be grateful if someone found them and handed them in to the desk.

Lost enamel pins near Girard Park, Lafayette

Louis LeBlanc here. I lost a small bundle of pins after a photo walk through Girard Park in Lafayette, Louisiana, around 1:15 PM on Saturday. The pins are enamel, colorful, and hold sentimental value from different trips. I retraced the park’s paths near the big oak tree and along the pond, but they’re gone. I’d really like them back, as they’re part of my everyday outfits. If you found them near the Girard Park entrance or the picnic area, please keep them safe for me.

Lost photographs in Lafayette, Louisiana

I lost my photographs after a family dinner in the Cajundome parking lot around 7:30 p.m. on Friday. They are a small stack: a black-and-white portrait of my grandmother from the 1950s, plus a few color prints from a road trip to New Orleans last year. I had left them on a bench near the main entrance on Johnston Street after the show, and I must have walked away too soon. These pictures mean the world to me; they are the only keepsakes I have left of some people I have lost, and I am hoping they will turn up.
