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 Rockford 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 Rockford in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost coins near Sinnissippi Park, Rockford

I was at Sinnissippi Park gazebo around 6:45 PM on Saturday when the coins slipped from my pocket. The little coin collection belonged to my grandfather, a mix of old Lincoln cents and a shiny silver dollar from the 1960s. I remember the sun sinking behind the trees and the smell of kettle corn from a nearby vendor. I retraced my steps along the path by the Sinnissippi River, checked under the bench by the little fountain, and asked a couple passing joggers if they saw something. I’ve felt unsettled since—these coins carry family stories, and I'm hoping they’ve simply wandered into someone’s coat pocket. If you found them, please help me return them.

Lost scarves outside Coronado Theatre

On Saturday around 2:15 p.m., I realized my two scarves were gone after a quick bite near Coronado Theatre on State Street. I had them resting on a metal bench while I waited for friends to finish a photo stop, and by the time we circled back, wind and crowds had taken them away. They’re special to me—one is charcoal wool, the other a soft gray knit—and I wore them on a chilly downtown walk that morning. If you found two scarves on that bench by the theatre, I’d be grateful to hear from you.

Lost utensils in Rockford, Illinois, near Sinnissippi Park

This morning, around 9:30 AM, I realized my utensils were gone after I left the community center kitchen in Rockford, near Sinnissippi Park. It was a small set—two forks, two spoons, and a couple of wooden-handled spatulas—that I’d borrowed for a family dinner and forgot to unpack. They aren’t fancy, but they belong with my late grandmother’s old recipe box, and I’ve kept them for years. If you found them, please leave a note on the site so I can swing by the Rockford Police Station or the park office when I can.

Lost driver's license in Rockford, IL this afternoon

I was leaving the Coronado Performing Arts Center on East State Street around 2:47 p.m. today when I realized my driver's license was missing from my wallet. I hurried back through Market Street Plaza and the parking lot behind the church on 7th Street, but I didn't find it. Losing it makes me anxious about work requirements and identity verification, and I'm scared of having to replace everything else that uses that ID. If anyone found a driver's license in Rockford around those blocks, please let me know through the site so I can arrange a pickup.

Lost flute near Coronado Theatre, Rockford

Today, at 10:23 AM, I realized my flute was lost after a quick rehearsal at the Rockford Conservatory, near the Coronado Theatre on State Street. I retraced my steps through the practice rooms and lobby, but I couldn't find it. The flute is silver with a small dent near the foot joint, and it means a lot to me as I have a recital next week. I’m hopeful someone picked it up and would return it through the site.
