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 Lancaster 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 Lancaster in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost stamps near Lancaster Central Market

I was sorting through an old stamp album while waiting for friends at Lancaster Central Market around 11:15 a.m. Saturday when a gust from the street knocked the album from my bag. The stamps are a collection of vintage U.S. issues from the 1950s and 60s, many with pale blue backs and red cancels. The binder is a bit worn, with a small sticker on the inside cover. These stamps are priceless to me because my grandmother started the collection. If you found them, please help me bring them back to their rightful home.

Lost hand tools in Lancaster, PA

I lost my hand tools around 6:00 PM last Friday near the Fulton Theatre on North Prince Street in Lancaster. There’s a red-handled claw hammer, a blue toolbox, and a silver adjustable wrench tucked in a small bag. They’re essential for my projects, and I’m rattled at the thought of never finding them. I’m hoping someone picked them up by mistake and can help reunite me with them through the site.

Lost sports equipment bag in Lancaster

I’m Jordan Hayes. I lost a bag containing equipment for various sports after a late practice at Lancaster City High School gym. The items include basketball shoes, knee braces, a couple of lacrosse sticks, and a dusty baseball glove. It happened around 7:00 PM on Tuesday, near the West Chestnut Street entrance to the gym, after we were headed to the bus. I retraced steps through the hallway and outside, but I couldn't find it. Those items matter a lot to me and my routine; I’d be grateful to have them back. If you’ve found anything matching this description, please pass it along through the site.

Lost travel visas near Lancaster Central Market, Lancaster

I realized I left my travel visas in a brown leather folder at the Lancaster Central Market around 9:30 a.m. last Saturday. The folder held my passport copies and visa paperwork, plus a few appointment letters. I’ve retraced the market aisles, the coffee counter, and the bus stop along North Queen Street, but they’re nowhere to be found. Those documents are crucial for an upcoming trip, and I’m trying not to panic.

Lost black leather belts near Fulton Theatre

Hi, I’m Emily Carter. I lost a black leather belt with a small brass buckle this evening, around 7:45 PM, near the Fulton Theatre on West King Street in downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I paused for a quick coffee outside a café along Duke Street after the performance and must have set it down on a chair. By the time I returned, the belt was gone amid the crowd near the Central Market area. It’s an everyday piece that holds up my uniform belt, and I’m anxious about facing work without it tomorrow; please keep an eye out if you’re in that area.
