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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost scarves in Downtown Phoenix

I was walking the Downtown Phoenix area in Phoenix, Arizona around 4:15 pm yesterday, from near the Phoenix Public Library toward Roosevelt Row, when my scarves vanished from my shoulders. One is a charcoal gray knit with a simple rib; the other is a red-and-black striped scarf I wore for warmth. I remember pausing to check my phone near a bench on Central Avenue and then a sudden gust tugging at the fabric. I reached my apartment at 5:00 pm and realized they were gone. Those scarves carried memories and comfort, and I hope they found a caring new wearer.

Lost Pendants near downtown Phoenix

I was walking from Roosevelt Row toward the light rail at 3:15 p.m. last Friday when my two pendants slipped from my neck and dropped into the crowd near 7th Street and Indian School. The pendants are sentimental: one is a tiny sun, the other a crescent moon, both on thin silver chains. I retraced steps along Grand Avenue and into the nearby market, asking vendors if they’d seen anything, but no luck. My heart sank—these were my grandmother's gifts, and I can’t help but replay the moment I felt them slide away. I’m holding out hope a kind passerby found them and kept them safe until they reach me again.

Xylophones missing near downtown Phoenix after class.

I was packing up after a small community music class near 7th Street and Van Buren around 3:30 pm yesterday when I realized my xylophones were missing from the storage rack. I retraced the block toward Roosevelt Row and checked the carport behind the building, but nothing turned up. They’re two bright wooden xylophones with painted edges and one dented bar; the mallets are bright red. This means a lot to the kids I teach, and I’m hoping someone who saw something near the Phoenix Public Library or along Central Avenue kept them safe.

Lost Breeds in central Phoenix

Hi there, I’m Grace. I realized around 8:15 PM on Tuesday that my Breeds binder wasn’t on the bench where I left it during a quick stop near the light rail stop at 3rd Street and Van Buren in Phoenix. I had stepped away to help a neighbor with some errands, and when I got back it was gone. Inside the binder are notes, sketches, and labels for a community project I’ve been building about dog breeds, and losing it hits hard. I’m hoping someone found it and turned it in—if you did, please keep it safe; it means a lot to me.

Lost Radios in Phoenix, AZ

I lost my radios after a late studio session in Phoenix. At around 9:20 p.m. last Tuesday, I left a small studio on 7th Street in the Roosevelt Row Arts District, just west of Roosevelt, beside the light rail line. I set them on the hood of my car while I tightened a loose connector, and when I looked again they were gone. They’re two compact portable radios in a black carrying case; one is teal with a chipped edge, the other gray and a bit scuffed. They’re not priceless, but they power a community radio show I help run, and I miss them.

LOST: Travel Adapters near Downtown Phoenix

I lost my travel adapters downtown around 8:45 PM yesterday, probably left on a chair outside the Phoenix Art Museum along Central Ave. I spent the next hour retracing my steps, hands a bit shaky, hoping I hadn’t left them in a cab or a café. The adapters are silver, tucked inside a gray zip case with a bright blue Travel sticker—these are essential for my trip next week. If you happened to find them, I’d be grateful to know they’re safe; I’m really hoping this listing helps.
