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 Lawrence 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 Lawrence in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost quilts near Massachusetts Street, Lawrence, KS.

LOST: I’m Emily Carter, and I lost my quilts on Massachusetts Street downtown Lawrence around 8:15 p.m. last Friday. They’re two handmade quilts: one navy with a geometric pattern, the other cream with tiny red houses along the edge. I picture them sitting on a bench near the Eldridge Hotel, waiting to be found, while I replay each step I took after stepping into a cafe to dodge a sudden drizzle by the Granada Theater. If you found them, please keep them safe for me until the site connects us.

Lost scarf near KU Campus, Lawrence

I lost my scarf on Friday around 7:10 PM near the KU Campus, specifically by the Campanile on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence. It’s a charcoal gray wool scarf with a blue stripe, long and soft from long study nights. I remember pulling it up as the evening breeze whipped through the lights by Memorial Stadium and the crowd on Mass Street thinned out. This scarf is more than fabric to me—it's a string of memories from late library sessions and quiet walks around town. If you’ve seen it, I’d be grateful to have it back.

Lost black purse in NH St parking garage

Lost a black purse in the New Hampshire St parking garage! It’s medium sized, black pleather, and textured all over. It was on a Friday night so I know this is a long shot, but fingers crossed!

Lost train in Lawrence, KS

I can't believe I lost my train. Last Friday at 6:15 p.m., I was leaving the Lawrence Public Library on Vermont Street when I realized my small blue model train from a childhood set was missing from my tote. It's a tiny plastic locomotive with a red funnel and a couple of stickers that stood out in its little metal color. This train is everything to my son and me; we've spent years building a big model railway, and that one piece was a gift. I searched the library steps and the nearby benches but didn't find it. If someone has found it, please know it's dearly missed and I hope it turns up here on the site.

Lost Rabbits in Lawrence, Kansas

I was tidying up the apartment on Massachusetts Street around 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my two rabbits, Niko and Willow, had vanished from their enclosure. I retraced my steps toward the KU Campanile and along Mass Street, calling out their names every few minutes. The thought of them out in the chilly Lawrence air makes me anxious, since they're curious and quick and could slip away easily. If anyone has seen them wandering around the area, I’d appreciate any help in getting them back home.

Lost carry-ons near Granada Theater

I lost my carry-ons around 7:28 pm on Friday, after a quick stop near the Granada Theater on Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence. The bags are a pair of wheeled suitcases, one black, one gray, both scuffed from travel, with a dented zipper on the blue carry-on. Inside is a mix of clothing and a small electronics charger—the things I needed for a short trip and a reminder of home. Please help me get them back; this time the thought of losing them here hurts more than I expected.
