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 Lansing 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 Lansing in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost wrist watches in Lansing

On Friday at 6:45 pm, I realized my two wrist watches were missing from my coat pocket after leaving a coffee shop near the Capitol on Capitol Avenue in downtown Lansing. One is a silver stainless-steel watch with a cracked glass, the other a black leather-strap smartwatch. I’m anxious about a job interview next week, and time is everything.

Lost organizers: neon-orange folder

Today at 4:45 PM around the Lansing City Market, I realized my set of organizers was gone from my tote. It’s a small neon-orange folder with tabs and a few handwritten notes, the kind I rely on to stay on top of bills and meetings. I retraced my steps along the Market's brick paths and checked the benches near the Capitol entrance, but the area was crowded and no clue turned up. They’re not priceless, but they help me keep track of everything important in Lansing, and I’d love to have them back so I can stop scribbling reminders on scraps.

Lost Breeds in downtown Lansing, Michigan.

I lost my Breeds this afternoon after a quick coffee run near the Capitol. At 4:15 p.m. I stood on the brick plaza outside the Michigan State Capitol building and realized the item was gone. It’s a small canvas pouch with the word Breeds stitched across the front, holding a few breed cards and a note from my grandmother. I’m worn out with worry—the crowd, the buses, the chilly wind all feel like a blank space without it. Please keep an eye out in this area; I keep hoping someone picked it up and turned it in.

Lost driver's license in Lansing

Hi, I lost my driver's license yesterday in Lansing. Around 6:15 p.m., I was walking from the Capitol Complex toward Capitol Ave and must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk. It's a Michigan license with a blue border and my photo; I feel exposed and worried about identity security. I’m hoping someone who found it will come forward and help get it back.

Lost: saxophones in Lansing, MI

I lost my saxophones on Saturday around 6:30 PM, somewhere along the Lansing Riverfront near the Michigan State Capitol. The case is black with a few scratches and a faded sticker from my college band, easy to spot if you’ve seen it. I was taking a quick break at the Old Town Market before heading to rehearsal, and I must have set them down there while I rearranged gear. These horns mean more to me than anything; I’d be grateful to hear that someone picked them up for safekeeping.

Lost passports in Lansing, Michigan

I realized my passport is missing this morning and I’m panicking about an international trip next week. I last had it around 9:45 a.m. while I was grabbing coffee at the Capitol City Coffee on East Michigan Avenue, then walking toward the Lansing Public Library; it could have slipped from my bag somewhere between there and the bus stop. It’s a dark blue cover with my initials in the corner and a small sticker on the back. I retraced several blocks, checked the cafe counter, and asked a few shop owners, but no luck yet. If you happened to find it, I’d be incredibly grateful to have it returned through the site.
