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 Lincoln 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 Lincoln in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

USB drives lost on UNL campus

I’m Daniel Morales. I was on UNL City Campus by Love Library around 3:20 p.m. last Friday when two USB drives slipped from my backpack and disappeared into a crack between the steps. The drives hold weeks of lab data and client backups I can’t redo, and losing them makes my stomach drop. I retraced the route from the library entrance to the coffee shop, and back again, but there’s no sign of them. I’m worried someone could access the files, and I’m hoping a kind passerby turned them into the campus lost-and-found. If you’ve seen them around the Love Library area, please help me get them back.

Lost Radios in Lincoln, please help.

I lost my Radios this afternoon around 3:15 p.m. near Haymarket Park, just off 14th Street and O Street. The Radios are two portable units in a tan canvas bag, one with a faded label from a family project. They mattered to me because they remind me of my grandfather and our old hobby, and I’m anxious to get them back. The area was busy with shoppers and vendors, but I must have set them down while chatting with a friend. If you found them, I’d be grateful to be reunited with these pieces of memory.

Lost sheet music from quiet Lincoln recital

I lost my sheet music after a late practice at the Lied Center in Lincoln at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday. I’d left the folder on a chair near the stage, the blue cover with my name penciled on the back. The pages hold the pieces I’m preparing for a university audition, and I’m a bundle of nerves about missing a page that could shape my entire performance. It’s driving me nuts knowing those sheets are out there somewhere, especially as dusk settles over the Haymarket and I picture the folder resting on a chair by the stage.

Lost stamps near Nebraska State Capitol, Lincoln, 3:15 PM

Yesterday around 3:15 p.m., I realized my stamps were missing while I walked back to my car near the Nebraska State Capitol on K Street. They were tucked in a small red tin inside my tote, a keepsake from my grandmother's old collection. I’d just paused for a photo at the Sunken Garden and then browsed through a few stalls in the Haymarket, and somewhere between there and the Capitol steps they vanished. I feel a mix of foolish and wistful, because those stamps carry a personal story I’m trying to hold onto.

Lost silver Yamaha flute with blue case

I lost my silver Yamaha student flute yesterday around 3pm in front of the Lied Center for the Performing Arts, near 12th and O Streets in Lincoln. It’s a compact wind instrument, about 26 inches long, with a few light scratches along the foot joint and a tiny dent near the head joint. It lives in a blue hard case with a black zipper, and I tied a small red ribbon to the handle so I’d notice it. Inside, the lining is blue. There are engraved initials 'AP' on the lip plate and on the lid of the case. It’s sentimental—it was a gift from my grandmother—and I really need it back. If you found it, a quick message would mean the world to me.

Navy scarf with fox pin, lost in Lincoln

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my navy blue cashmere scarf after grabbing a coffee near the Capitol building on 14th Street in Lincoln. It's a Uniqlo scarf, about 70 inches long, really soft but a bit worn at the ends. It has a small silver fox pin attached near the left corner, one of a kind. The scarf means a lot to me—it's a gift from my grandmother and I wear it every chilly day. If anyone found it, could you email me at [email protected]? I just want to get it back, it's a favorite and a little sentimental piece I hate to part with.
