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 Ocala 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 Ocala in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sports equipment bag in Ocala, FL

I lost equipment for various sports after an evening practice at the Ocala Soccer Complex on Tuesday around 6:30 p.m. The bag is black with a bright yellow stripe and my initials on the tag. Inside are shin guards, a well-worn basketball, two tennis rackets, and a small padlock—items I use for multiple teams and formats. I'm anxious because this gear represents months of training, late-night conditioning, and shared laughs with teammates. If you found it lying by the bleachers near the entrance to Silver Springs State Park, I’d really appreciate you keeping it safe.

lost: travel adapters in Ocala

I lost my travel adapters at 7:45 pm yesterday after I left a coffee shop near the Ocala Downtown Square, by the gazebo. They’re a black universal adapter with a red label and a small blue one tucked into a red zip pouch inside my backpack. I’m leaving for a work trip soon, and these gadgets are essential for keeping my devices powered on the road. I’m frustrated and anxious, hoping someone who finds them understands how important they are to me.

Lost hats near Ocala Downtown Square

I realized my hats were missing at 4:15 p.m. last Friday after stepping out of Ocala's Downtown Square—the Market Street fountain area was buzzing, and I must have left them somewhere in the crowds. One hat is a navy sun hat with a wide brim; the other a gray knit beanie with a small pom. They’re more than keepsakes for me—the beanie keeps my ears warm after night shifts, and the navy hat carries a memory of summer days with a loved one. I retraced steps along Market Street and by the fountain, but they didn’t turn up. If you found them, please let me know through the site.

lost travel bags near Appleton Museum, Ocala

I lost my travel bags in the Appleton Museum of Art parking lot around 5:15 p.m. last Saturday after I handed my rental car keys to the attendant and walked to the gallery. When I returned from the exhibits, they were gone from the back seat of the SUV. The bags are black with red trim, and one zipper has a small scratch that shows the wear from a long trip. Inside are clothes for a business trip and a blue passport cover that makes them easy to spot. I’m anxious and hoping someone who picked them up will return them to the lost-and-found.

Lost gym bags near Ocala YMCA.

Today at around 5:30 p.m., I realized my gym bags were missing from the lobby area of the Ocala YMCA on West Silver Springs Boulevard. They’re two bags: a black duffel with a red zipper, and a gray backpack with a bright lime bottle sticking out. They contain my workout clothes, a towel, and a spare keycard. I’m feeling frustrated and anxious because my gear is essential for my routine, and I’ve been juggling a tight schedule all week. If anyone found them, please know they belong to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost CDs at Ocala Downtown Market, Florida.

I lost my CDs last Sunday in Ocala. I was at the Ocala Downtown Market around 2:40 p.m., near the fountain by the old courthouse, when I realized my bag was lighter. The CDs are from a recent road trip—a mix of indie tracks and classic rock that kept me company on long drives. I'm anxious and a little wistful, thinking about the memories tied to the songs. The market was busy, the air smelled like roasted coffee, and the sun was slipping behind the oaks. If found, please hold them safe; I’d be grateful to reclaim them.
