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 Northern Michigan 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 Northern Michigan in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost drone near Mackinac ferry dock, Northern Michigan

Hi, I’m Alex Bennett, and I lost my drone. I was piloting it at about 7:15 p.m. Saturday near the Mackinac Island ferry dock along the water in Northern Michigan. A gust caught it and it vanished into the pines beside the marina lights. It’s the drone I use for weekend photo projects, and I’m really hoping to recover it so I can finish my Lake Michigan sunrise shots.

Lost Action Figures in Northern Michigan

I lost my action figures around 7:15 p.m. last Friday, after a quick walk through Island Park in downtown Petoskey. The set includes roughly a dozen characters from my favorite sci-fi line, all worn and dusty from years of play. I remember placing them on a bench by the gazebo near the lake, and I must have left them there when I hurried to catch the bus. If you found them anywhere around Island Park, please consider reuniting them with me.

Lost devices in Northern Michigan

I woke up at 7:40 a.m. Friday in a lakeside cabin near Traverse City and found my devices missing from the desk. The laptop, tablet, and charger were all there yesterday, now gone. These devices hold work notes and photos from family trips, and losing them hits hard. I last used them at the coffee shop on Front Street, downtown Traverse City, just a block from the bay, under a bright red awning. The harbor light was soft and calm that morning; now it feels oddly quiet without them.

Lost trading cards in Northern Michigan, MI

I spent a calm afternoon sorting a binder of trading cards in my cabin by the Lake Michigan shoreline around 6:30 PM on Friday when I stepped outside for a moment. When I came back, the binder was gone along with a few irreplaceable favorites and some old sets. The cards mean a lot to me and represent memories from games with friends. If you found them around Bayfront Park in downtown Petoskey or near the Petoskey Public Library, please let me know and keep them safe.
