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 Southern Maryland 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 Southern Maryland in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost chairs near Solomons Island boardwalk

On Saturday at 11:50 a.m., I realized I had lost my outdoor chairs from our porch in Southern Maryland. The three chairs were worn metal with striped cushions, the kind you pull up to the table on warm afternoons by the Solomons Island boardwalk. I had spent the morning cleaning up the yard and felt a twinge of frustration at their disappearance, but I hope they turn up soon. If you saw them around Calvert County, please keep an eye out for a mismatched set.

lost holiday decorations in Solomons Island, MD

On Friday at 7:45 PM, I last saw the holiday decorations hanging on the porch rail of our Solomons Island cottage near the Boardwalk. A chilly breeze swept through the evening, and when I went to tidy up a moment later, they were gone. The garlands, wreaths, and a string of red-and-green lights were a little worn but still bright—the kind my kids helped me hang after school. It feels silly to admit, but the decorations carry family memories and a little too much sentiment for a random souvenir. I’m hopeful someone found them and left them somewhere safe along the Solomons Island Boardwalk, perhaps near the lighthouse.

Lost guitars near Solomons Island boardwalk

I was finishing a late set at the Solomons Island Lighthouse Cafe, and I must have left my guitars by the stage door around 8:45 p.m. as the crowd drifted away and the marina lights reflected on the water. I retraced every step, checked with the bartender, and even peeked behind the amps, but they’re gone. The two guitars—a sunburst Fender Stratocaster with a small chip on the edge and a well-worn acoustic with a red strap—were the tools that kept my songs honest as I played along the Patuxent. They’re more than instruments to me; they’re memories of every open mic and late-night jam. If you spotted them, please drop them at the venue front desk or message me through the site.

Lost devices in Southern Maryland

I realized around 6:15 p.m. on Thursday that my devices were missing from the bench near the Calvert County Courthouse, along Solomons Island Road in Southern Maryland. The pile included a tablet, a small laptop, and a charger; they were in a black tote with a distinctive red strap. I had stopped to stretch my legs after a long drive from Lexington Park, and I remember leaving the tote on the bench while I checked a map. It’s hard to stay calm when your work depends on those devices, so I’m hoping they’ve been found and kept safe around the Solomons Island Boardwalk.

Suits missing near Solomons Island Boardwalk

Hi, I'm Trevor Collins. I realized yesterday around 4:45 PM that my suits were no longer in my car after I parked near the Solomons Island Boardwalk by the lighthouse. They're in a black garment bag containing a navy blazer, charcoal trousers, and a few shirts. I retraced my steps to the bench near the lighthouse and to the nearby shops but couldn't locate them. This is important because I have interviews this week and a special event coming up, and losing the suits makes me feel unsettled. If someone happened to spot a garment bag with the label 'T. Collins' please help me get it back.

Lost keyboards in La Plata, Southern Maryland

I lost my keyboards during setup after a class at the La Plata Community Center around 6:15 PM last Tuesday. I had them in a black rolling case and was unloading from my car near the entrance that faces Miller Avenue when I realized the keys were gone. There are two keyboards: a compact 61-key model and a larger 88-key model, plus a tiny MIDI pad I used for rehearsal notes. They mean a lot to me; they’re essential for teaching and practice, and I’m anxious to recover them. If you found something that matches this description, please keep them safe.
