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.

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.

Lost parrots near downtown Akron.

I lost my parrots today around 5:45 p.m. Saturday near Lock 3 Park off East Market Street in Akron. They are two green parrots with bright blue wings and a yellow breast; one is a bit shyer than the other. We were walking from a small cafe toward the plaza when a gust kicked the cage door open and they bolted. I chased them through the crowd and across the parking lot, but the noise and traffic swallowed their colors. My heart is in my throat—I raised these birds like family and I’m terrified they’ll be frightened or lost in the city. Please keep an eye out near parks and storefronts along Market Street.

Lost sheet music near Akron Civic Theatre

I lost a stack of Sheet Music from my orchestra folder on Tuesday around 5:15 PM outside the Akron Civic Theatre on West Market Street. The music is for strings, faded with coffee stains, and it has a distinctive cover with my college logo. It was a hurried evening; I remember bumping into a street musician and dropping the folder. If you found it, please know it means a lot to me and I'll be grateful to retrieve it through the site.

Lost holiday decorations in Akron/Canton area

Hi, I’m Sophia Martinez. I misplaced my Holiday Decorations sometime last night around 9:45 PM while unloading from the car near the Akron Civic Theatre in downtown Akron. The box with garlands, string lights, and fragile ornaments must have slipped out when I hurried inside after a light snowfall. Losing them feels like a small but personal piece of our family rituals, and I’m hoping someone found them and held onto them for the holidays. If you have any information, please message through the site and I’ll be grateful to reunite with them.

Lost sports equipment in Akron/Canton area

On Saturday around 6:40 p.m., I left my Equipment for Various Sports on a bench outside the Canton Palace Theatre on Market Street while I grabbed a quick coffee. When I returned, the bag was gone and the bench looked untouched, like nothing happened. The gear includes a navy windbreaker, shin guards, and a bright red duffel with my initials on the side. I’m anxious because our weekend league starts soon and I can’t replace everything on short notice. If anyone saw something around there, I’d really appreciate any information.

LOST: Drones in Akron/Canton, Ohio

On Sunday around 5:15 PM, after a quick flight at Summit Lake Park in Akron, I realized my two drones were missing from the black hard case I left on a bench near the boat launch. The drones are a white DJI Mavic Mini with a red sticker and a smaller spare drone with orange guards, plus a charger and a microSD card case. The bag sat under a maple tree by the water’s edge, and I scanned the area along the path that circles the lake, feeling a mix of disappointment and panic. If you’ve seen them, I’d be grateful to hear through the site.
