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 Abilene 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 Abilene in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Brooches Near Paramount Theatre, Abilene

I lost my brooches after rehearsal at the Paramount Theatre in downtown Abilene around 8:30 pm last Saturday. They are a trio of vintage pieces: one gold-tone with a sapphire-like stone, another with a tiny floral motif, and they sat in a faded velvet pouch that’s now missing. They are heirlooms from my grandmother, so they feel irreplaceable and hold a lot of meaning. I’m hopeful someone picked them up and will recognize their significance. The theatre’s lobby and backstage corridors were crowded after the show, and I last remember them near the gift shop area.

Lost hamsters near Red Bud Park, Abilene

This morning at 9:15 a.m., I realized two hamsters had slipped out of their cage in our Abilene apartment near Red Bud Park. They’re tiny, mostly beige and gray with inquisitive noses and squeaks that sound like tiny questions. I’ve checked the apartment from fridge to couch and even behind the washer, but the escape artists could be anywhere in the nearby hallway or living spaces. If you see two tiny fuzzballs scurrying around, please help them stay safe.

Nintendo Switch with red/blue Joy-Cons

I lost my Nintendo Switch yesterday around 3pm. It was in the parking lot behind the Mall of Abilene on Buffalo Gap Road, near the Target entrance. The console is a standard Switch in a glossy black shell with neon red and blue Joy-Cons, and it has a dragon sticker on the back plus a small dent on the left Joy-Con; there are a few scratches on the screen. It’s really sentimental to me—I've had it for a couple of years and it’s my main unwind after long shifts. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Black Kindle Paperwhite with blue case, lost yesterday.

I lost my black Kindle Paperwhite yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Buffalo Gap Road in Abilene. It's a 2018 model with a blue silicone case and a cracked bottom-right corner. On the back is a green sticker with the initials 'A.O.' and a tiny coffee cup doodle I drew myself. It holds travel guides and family photos, so it feels sentimental and I really need it back. If someone found it, I'd be grateful to get it back—I'd meet up at a nearby cafe to pick it up.

Gray North Face backpack with orange zipper

I lost my gray North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm. I was walking from the Mall of Abilene toward Buffalo Gap Road and must have left it near the coffee shop area by the parking lot. It's a medium-sized backpack, weathered gray fabric with an orange zipper, and a small blue bicycle sticker on the front pocket. Inside there's my laptop charger, a spiral notebook from class, and a ragged photo album with pictures of my grandmother, sentimental stuff that can't be replaced. One identifying feature is a bright green monkey keychain clipped to the zipper pull, plus a dent on the bottom-right corner from a tumble last week. I really need it back; it means a lot to me.

Brown leather passport holder with initials P.P.

I lost my brown leather travel passport holder yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks in the Mall of Abilene on Buffalo Gap Road. It's a compact item, the size of a small notebook, with a gold zipper and a faint coffee stain on the back. Inside there are my passport, a couple of cards, and a leather patch embossed with the initials 'P.P.' It was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate someone returning it if they found it.
