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 Southwest MN 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 Southwest MN in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost terrariums in Southwest MN.

Hi, I'm Mia Thompson. I bring two glass terrariums to the Worthington Farmers Market each weekend, and this past Sunday I left them on a folding table near the maple kiosk around 2:30 p.m. When I got back, they were missing. The little ecosystems hold moss, a couple air plants, and a fern that reminds me of my grandmother's windowsill. If someone picked them up, I hope they surface here so I can thank them.

Lost work cases near Lake Okabena, Worthington

Hi, I'm Emily Larson. I was leaving a late meeting at Worthington City Hall around 6:45 pm last Friday, and I must have set my two dark leather work cases down by the Lake Okabena overlook while I checked my notes. They’re identical black cases with brass latches, and I even had a red laptop sleeve tucked under the larger one. Inside I carried project folders, a client brief, and a flight itinerary. My stomach dropped when I realized they weren’t in my hand as I walked toward the car near the park path. If someone picked them up, please know they’re not just bags—they hold weeks of effort and a lot of deadlines. I’m hoping they’ll be found and returned.

I lost my airline near Worthington, SW Minnesota.

Last Thursday around 7:20 p.m., I was at Worthington's transit plaza near Main Street when my airline ticket stub vanished from my coat pocket. I retraced my steps from the bus stop to the little coffee shop by the courthouse, asking clerks and commuters if anyone had found a small paper slip labeled with flight details. This ticket matters because it has my travel plans and a few notes about a trip I’m supposed to take for work. I’m hopeful someone kept it safe, and I appreciate any sighting near Worthington City Hall or the bus depot.

Lost paintings near Worthington Public Library

I left two paintings on an easel beside the Worthington Public Library at 6:15 p.m. Friday, after an informal art walk around the plaza. One is a blue abstract with swirls, the other a sunlit landscape with hints of gold leaf in the corners. I retraced the library steps and asked a couple of neighbors, but the light faded and they were gone. These pieces mean a lot to me—nearly a year of work poured into the textures and colors—and I’m anxious about not having them for the upcoming show.

Lost CDs near Main Street, Worthington, MN

On Tuesday around 2:10 p.m., I was biking down Worthington’s Main Street and ducked into a small cafe for a quick iced coffee. By the time I rolled back to the bike rack, my three CDs were gone from the tote on the handlebars. I retraced a dozen steps, asked the barista, and checked the library steps, but nothing turned up. Those discs mean a lot to me—soundtracks from road trips with my dad and a few rare finds from garage sales. If someone happened to slide them into a lost-and-found box or tuck them behind a shop counter, I’d be grateful beyond words. Please help me bring them back to their rightful owner.

Lost handheld and console in Southwest MN

Hi, I'm Sofia Larson. Around 2:30 pm last Thursday, my handheld gaming console and its small black controller disappeared from my backpack while I was checking out the Worthington Centennial Plaza near the City Center in Southwest MN. The device isn't just a gadget; it holds saved game progress and a few personal photos. I miss it already and I'm hoping someone picked it up and held onto it. If you found a handheld console and an extra controller in that area, please know how much it would mean to me to get them back.
