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 Salem 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 Salem in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost ties in Salem, Oregon

I lost my navy-blue silk ties during a hurried stroll along State Street by the Oregon State Capitol, around 4:15 p.m. last Tuesday. I had paused at a cafe, and when I returned to the chair where I left them, they were gone. Those ties were part of my interview outfit and carried a lot of sentimental weight; I’m anxious about not having them for the big meeting. I really hope someone who found them will see this and bring them back to the right person.

Lost: Swimsuits

I was at the Salem Riverfront Park on Saturday around 3:45 p.m. after a quick dip at the Salem Municipal Pool. I left my blue swimsuit with a neon pink stripe on a bench by the carousel and turned back to grab it, but by the time I got there, someone else had moved on and it was gone. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s the swimsuit I planned to wear on our family trip next week, and it fits just right for poolside days. If you found it, please know how much it would mean to me.

LOST: Violins in Salem

I was leaving Riverfront Park near the pedestrian bridge by the Willamette River yesterday around 5:15 pm when my two violins were still in their brown hard case. I turned back to grab my music sheets and found nothing but a faint echo of a violin bow on the path. One violin has a lighter finish with a red chinrest; the other is darker with a small scratch on the scroll. These instruments mean a lot to me, and I am hopeful someone honest turned them in so I can reclaim them and keep playing.

Lost Leashes near Riverfront Park

I lost my leashes at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday near Riverfront Park in Salem. I would just crossed the footpath by the park's fountain when they slipped from my grip. There are two leashes: one blue with a tiny bone pattern and a plain black one, both a bit frayed at the ends. I keep replaying the moment in my head, worried about my dog and hoping someone nearby picked them up for safekeeping.
