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 Syracuse 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 Syracuse in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Passports in Syracuse

Last night, around 9:45 PM, I realized my Passports were missing somewhere near Clinton Square in downtown Syracuse. They were tucked inside a blue travel wallet inside my brown backpack; the wallet is worn and has my initials in silver. I’m stressed about visa deadlines and travel plans, and I keep replaying the moment I think I last saw the wallet on a bench near the Erie Canal Museum. If someone picked them up, please know how important these papers are to me and keep them safe nearby.

Lost postcards in Syracuse, near Armory Square.

On Friday at 4:30 p.m., I was sitting outside Café Kubal in Armory Square when I realized my stack of postcards had vanished. They were a small batch of photos and handwritten notes from my grandmother. I must have set them on the bench for a moment while I checked a text, and a breeze probably whisked them away. I'd be beyond grateful to have them back; they carry memories of trips and a gift from someone I love.

Lost: Pendants in Syracuse, New York

I lost a few pendant necklaces after a stroll through Clinton Square in Syracuse, New York. It happened around 6:30 p.m. on Friday, when the wind tugged at my scarf and I tucked the pendants back into a small velvet pouch. I remember passing the fountain near the Orange mural and turning down Walton Street toward the Armory Square bus stop, but I must have dropped them somewhere along the way. These pendants mean a lot to me and I am hopeful someone found them and kept them safe.

Lost canines near Clinton Street entrance, Thornden Park

I lost my two canines last Saturday around 3:30 p.m. near the Clinton Street entrance to Thornden Park in Syracuse. We had been walking when they spotted a squirrel and tugged away from me. They are a brindle lab mix and a white terrier with a black patch over the left ear. My heart jumped into my chest and I felt a hollow in my stomach as they disappeared into the trees. If someone happened to find them, I’m hoping they’re safe and can lead me back to their quiet yard.

Lost holiday decorations in Syracuse

I lost my holiday decorations last Friday in Syracuse. Around 7:10 p.m., after the tree lighting at Clinton Square, I realized my box of decorations had vanished from a bag I set down briefly near a vendor tent. The lights, garlands, and a tiny glass tree topper were in there, and I feel a bit crushed thinking someone might have picked it up by mistake. I walked from Destiny USA toward Clinton Square, but the box never turned up. If you see them, please know how much it would mean to me this season.

Lost: Hand Tools in Syracuse, NY

I was wrapping up a quick project at a friend's place near Armory Square when I realized my Hand Tools were gone from my bag. It was around 7:00 p.m. last Tuesday on West Genesee Street, and I must have left them on a bench outside a cafe. The toolbox is black with a red handle, filled with screwdrivers and pliers I rely on for small fixes around the house. I’m anxious about replacing them and hope someone who picked them up will help me get them back.
