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 Terre Haute 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 Terre Haute in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Pocket Watches lost near Vigo County Courthouse, Terre Haute

I was strolling the Terre Haute courthouse square at about 4:15 p.m. Friday, after grabbing a quick espresso. My two antique pocket watches were tucked in a leather pouch inside my coat pocket while I chatted with a friend on a bench near the fountain. When I stood up to stretch and check a map on my phone, I realized they were gone. The square was crowded, and I hope someone picked them up or remembers seeing them on that bench. Those watches are heirlooms, and I can't help feeling shaken by their absence.

Lost Guitars in Terre Haute

I’m Daniel Carter. I lost my guitars after a late jam session outside the Vigo County Courthouse in Terre Haute around 11:00 p.m. last Thursday. The guitars were in a red gig bag with two instruments: a black Fender Stratocaster with a chipped headstock and a sunburst Les Paul. The bag is labeled with my initials, DC. I’ve been replaying the set in my head, hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I could get them back. If you found them, I’d be grateful to hear they’re secure. The distinctive guitar cases and strap should help identify them.

Lost chokers near Hulman Center, Terre Haute

I was walking out of the Indiana State University arena after the game at 7:15 p.m. Friday and realized my chokers were gone from my tote. I must have brushed against the railing by the Hulman Center entrance, because I remember checking the ground and then realizing they were missing. They're two delicate silver chokers, one with a tiny moon charm and the other with a string of tiny beads. I've worn them most days for months, and losing them feels like I've misplaced a small part of my routine and a memory. If someone found them, I hope they're tucked somewhere safe, near the Hulman Center or on the benches along 4th Street.

Lost paintings near ISU campus, Terre Haute

On Saturday around 11:15 a.m., I lost my two landscape paintings from the studio behind the old storefront on 7th Street, Terre Haute. They’re each framed in black and mounted on a simple easel, one with a river scene and the other a sunset over the Wabash. I’d stepped out for a moment to grab a coffee on Davis Street, and when I returned the door was ajar and the window shade fluttering in the breeze. The paintings carry months of sketches and a plan for a campus show, so they matter a lot to me. If someone spotted them around the ISU campus or Wabash Ave, please let me know through the site.

Lost kittens near Vigo County Courthouse

I lost my kittens after I brought in the groceries and shut the back door around 8:15 PM last Friday, and they slipped out through a gap in the gate near the Vigo County Courthouse. They’re tiny, just a few weeks old, one gray tabby with white paws and a tiny orange tabby with a white blaze. I’ve walked the block, rattled a treat tin, and called their names, but the night was long and cold and I’m starting to fear they’ve wandered farther than I can reach. I’m hoping someone spotted two small balls of fur darting along 7th Street and will guide them back toward home. Please leave a note on the site if you see them, I’ll head out right away.

LOST: Photographs in Terre Haute, Indiana, United States

I was sorting through an old photo album in the yard behind the Vigo County Courthouse on Wabash Avenue around 4:15 p.m. last Saturday when a stack of photographs slipped out and vanished. The prints span generations—a black-and-white portrait from the 1950s, a faded color photo from a family picnic, and a school portrait from my own childhood. They’re priceless to me, a tangible thread to people I love who are no longer here. If they turn up, I hope they land back in the album where they belong.
