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 Portland 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 Portland in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Work Cases in Portland

Hi, I'm Mia Johnson. I lost two black leather work cases on Tuesday around 3:12 p.m. I think I left them on the curb near Pioneer Courthouse Square after grabbing a coffee. The cases have a red zipper pull and a conference badge tucked inside one of the outer pockets. They contain important folders and a charger, and I’m anxious about the meeting I have tomorrow. If you found them, please let me know through the site so we can arrange a pickup.

Lost Brooches in Portland

I was strolling through the South Park Blocks by Powell's City of Books on SW 10th Ave around 3:15 p.m. this past Saturday when I realized my two vintage brooches were missing from my coat. One features a tiny emerald, the other a delicate pearl set in silver—both heirlooms that meant a lot to my family. They’re irreplaceable in more ways than one, and I’m hoping a careful finder might bring them back. If you found something like this, please reach out through the site so we can arrange a proper return.

Lost medication near Powell's Books, Portland

I’m Emma Williams, and I’ve misplaced my medication. I last had it around 7:30 PM as I was leaving Powell’s City of Books on West Burnside in downtown Portland. It’s a small brown bottle with a white label, essential for my daily routine, and I’m anxious about missing a dose. I retraced my steps along the sidewalk outside Powell’s and the nearby cafe, but I couldn’t find it.

Lost holiday decorations near downtown Portland

I was arranging the living room when I pulled out a box labeled 'Holiday Decorations' and set it on the coffee table. At 8:15 PM on Friday, December 20, I stepped out briefly and came back to find the box missing, along with a handful of delicate ornaments, somewhere near my apartment on SW 2nd Ave, not far from Pioneer Courthouse Square. I checked the hallway, the carport, and even behind the sofa, but nothing turned up. These decorations are both practical and sentimental, and I would love to get them back. If you happened to see a box with colorful ribbons near Powell's on Burnside, please keep an eye out.
