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 Merced 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 Merced in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: swimsuits near Applegate Park, Merced

Today at 11:00 a.m., I realized my swimsuits were missing after a swim at Applegate Park Pool in Merced. The blue two-piece and a black bikini were tucked into a striped bag with a pink towel, left near the pool deck by the shade trees. I checked with the lifeguards and asked around the benches by the playground, but there was no sign of them. It’s frustrating and a little embarrassing to lose something so personal, and I hope a kind passerby will help them find their way back.

Lost keyboards near Merced Mall, Merced, CA

I was at the Merced Mall around 3:40 pm on Friday when I realized my keyboards were missing from my bag. I carry two mechanical keyboards in a slim black case and a spare USB-C cable tucked in the pocket. I must have left them on a chair near the food court during a quick meeting with a client. My stomach dropped; those keyboards are essential for my work and gigs. I retraced my steps through the aisles and restrooms, but they weren’t there. I handed this listing in hope a kind soul will recognize them and bring them back. They’re unmistakable to me because of the blue keycaps and the compact, sturdy case.

Lost remote controls near Applegate Park, Merced

On Sunday at 7:45 PM I realized my remote controls were missing after unloading groceries on G Street near Applegate Park in Merced. I combed the sidewalk by the park and checked the Merced Mall area, but I came up empty. They’re a basic universal remote plus a smaller black one with a few worn buttons—nothing fancy, but I rely on them daily. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can reclaim them.

Lost Hats near Merced Mall

I was biking home from the Merced Farmers Market on Saturday around 4:15 PM when I realized I had lost my hats. I own two: a navy baseball cap with a small white logo, and a tan felt hat I wear when the sun is high. I had them clipped to my bike basket while I stopped to grab a coffee near the Merced County Courthouse steps, and I must have left them on a bench outside the Merced Mall. I'm heartbroken—they were gifts and they make the daily sun feel kinder. If anyone found them, please leave them at the mall's lost-and-found.

Lost utensils near Applegate Park, Merced.

Friday evening, around 6:45 p.m., I realized my camping utensils were missing after a quick cookout near Applegate Park in Merced. It’s a simple set—sturdy stainless fork, red-handled spatula, and a wood-handled knife that squeaks when you wipe it. I must have dropped them while packing up and chatting with neighbors, because the park lights were just coming on and the paths were crowded. I retraced my steps along the gate by the park entrance, but the dusk and bustle made it hard. I’m hopeful someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can get them back.
