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 Akron / Canton 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 Akron / Canton in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Suits gone from downtown Canton locker.

On Monday at 6:30 p.m., my suits disappeared from my office locker on Market Street in downtown Canton, near the Palace Theatre. I’d just wrapped up a client meeting and was heading to the elevator when I noticed the garment bag was gone. The suits are charcoal and navy, tailored for meetings, with a few shirts tucked into the pocket and a cufflink case in the bag. I’m stressed about coming weeks’ schedule and worried about who might be walking around with them. If you saw a garment bag or a bundle of suits around the Palace Theatre area or Market Street around that time, please report it through the site.

Lost handheld console in Akron

Last Saturday at 7:15 p.m., my handheld console slipped from my bag near the front entrance of the Akron Civic Theatre. It's a matte black device with a small blue sticker on the back and a dent along the bottom edge. I retraced steps along Main Street toward Canal Park, but the busy crowd swallowed it up. This little console means a lot to me—it held a few old photos and years of saved game progress. I’m hoping it’s somewhere nearby and that the person who found it will understand how much it matters.

Lost desk organizers near Akron Public Library

I left behind a small set of desk organizers at the Akron Public Library on Main Street around 5:45 PM last Tuesday. They’re three shallow plastic trays, color coded with sticky notes and a couple of pens wedged in the holes. I use them every week to sort papers and bills, so losing them threw off my whole routine. I last remember setting them on a chair by the entrance after I grabbed a coffee, then heading out. If they turn up, I’d be forever grateful—those organizers mean more than just tidy stacks to me.

Lost: Kittens near Canton Palace Theatre

Hello, I am Maya Brooks. I have been searching since about 6:30 p.m. yesterday for my two kittens who slipped out of the yard behind the Canton Palace Theatre on Market Avenue North in Canton. One is an orange tabby, the other a gray tuxedo with white paws. They are curious and quick, and I am worried they will wander far tonight. I have asked neighbors and checked the alleys and nearby parking lots, but there is no sign yet. If you spot them or have any information, please leave a note on the site.

Lost: Sheets from bedding set

I lost my sheets from a queen-sized bedding set during a brief move last Friday around 9:15 p.m. in downtown Akron, near the Akron Civic Theatre on East Market Street. I had them in a gray laundry bag after unloading boxes from my apartment and walking home. When I checked the building laundry room, they were nowhere to be found, and the moment I realized they were missing, I felt unsettled and worried they'd end up far away. If someone picked them up, I’d be grateful to have them back — those sheets have seen me through a lot and they smell like home.

Lost shopping bags downtown Akron

While leaving the Akron Public Market around 6:20 p.m. last Saturday, I spotted a stack of shopping bags abandoned near the main entrance of Lock 3 Park in downtown Akron. They looked like they belonged to someone who’d been running errands—receipts sticking out of a tote with a faded city logo. I carried them to the security desk, hoping the owner would claim them, and I’m posting here to help connect the dots. It’s unsettling to realize someone else’s day-to-day things are suddenly missing, and I hope this helps them get back what they need.
