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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost DVDs near Kerrytown Market, Ann Arbor.

I was in Ann Arbor last Friday, around 7:20 PM, wandering between shops near Kerrytown Market & Shops on Liberty Street. I must have left behind a small stack of DVDs in a red plastic case after ducking into a café for a moment. They’re mostly classics—things my grandfather loved—and they mean a lot to me, so I’m worried they’re gone for good. The set is about a foot tall when stacked, with a few creased spines and one Paramount logo sticker. I’m hoping someone who found them kept them safe until I could reclaim them.

Lost: Travel Visas in Ann Arbor, Michigan

I realized my travel visas were missing today around 9:12 a.m., right outside the Michigan Union doors on S. State Street. They were tucked in a red folder inside a black travel case, wedged under a stack of papers I grabbed before a bus ride. I’ve got an important trip next week, and losing those documents panicked me. I’ve walked the Diag and the steps by the Union, hoping someone turned them in or they fell into a lost-and-found bin. If you saw something, please check the site—these papers mean everything for what I’ve planned.

Lost pins near Michigan Theater, Ann Arbor

I lost a small batch of enamel pins on Friday morning around 10:15 near the Michigan Theater on State Street in Ann Arbor. The pins mean a lot to me—each one a memory from friends and trips, tucked away in a tiny velvet pouch that I must have dropped somewhere along Main Street. I retraced my steps around Kerrytown Market and near the campus, but the pins never showed up again. I’m hoping a passerby picked them up and kept them safe until I could claim them through the site. If you found them, please reach out via the site so we can get them back to me.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Ann Arbor

I lost a bundle of holiday decorations after helping decorate a small tree during a get-together near the Diag. It was around 8:15 p.m. last Friday, and I had stepped away to help a friend near the Michigan Union. When I turned back, the tote with a red plaid garland, a string of warm-white lights, and a small felt snowman ornament was missing from the back seat. The snowman is from my grandmother, and the garland was a gift from a local craft fair. They aren’t valuable, just meaningful. If someone picked them up, I’d be grateful for their return.

Beige terrier mix with green collar

I lost my beige terrier mix yesterday around 3pm near Zingerman's Deli on North Fourth Avenue in the Kerrytown area of Ann Arbor. He's about 20 pounds, with short beige fur and a darker muzzle, and he wears a bright green collar with a tiny red bone-shaped tag. He also has a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest and a slight limp in his right hind leg. He's my rescue dog and has been my shadow since I adopted him last year, so I’m really worried. If you’ve seen him or have any info, please email me at [email protected].

Dark brown Coach wallet with blue edge stitching

I lost my dark brown leather Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor. It's about the size of a standard billfold, with a small coffee stain on the back, a gold-foil Coach logo on the lower-right corner, and a thin blue thread along the edge. Inside is my driver's license, a couple of cards, and a tiny photo of my dog taped in the card slot. It has sentimental value—my mom gave it to me years ago—and I really need it back; if anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back.
