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 Ashtabula 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 Ashtabula in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Passports near Ashtabula Harbor, Ohio

On Tuesday at 9:15 a.m., I was strolling along the Ashtabula Harbor by the marina when I noticed my passport was missing from my pocket. I must have left it on a bench near the library steps or perhaps on the bus seat I rode earlier. My passport is essential for my upcoming trip, and losing it has me anxious about delays and replacements. I’m hoping someone picked it up and turned it in to a safe place so I can get it back before my plans fall apart.

Lost photographs near Ashtabula Harbor

On Sunday around 5:45 PM, I realized my photographs were missing from my camera bag as I was packing up to leave the Ashtabula Harbor area. The prints include photos from my sister's wedding last summer and a few candid shots of my grandmother on the lakefront—souvenirs I can't replace. They mean a lot to me, and losing them feels like losing those memories too. I retraced steps along Lake Avenue and the harbor boardwalk, checked benches and the little shops, but the stack is gone. I hope someone who found them understands how special they are and returns them to their rightful owner.

Lost Holiday Decorations in Ashtabula

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson. I lost a bundle of holiday decorations Sunday around 7:25 PM near Harbor Park in Ashtabula. I’d just finished decorating the porch when a gust pulled the box from my hands and it rolled down the Lake Road walkway by the harbor lighthouse. The box held a silver snowflake garland, a red wreath, and a string of warm-white lights. It feels silly to admit how much I’d planned to brighten the family visit this weekend, and the thought of starting over is rough. If someone picked them up, please know they meant a lot to us, and I’m hoping to see them on the site soon.

Memory cards lost at Lakeside Park, Ashtabula

I was wandering along the lakefront at Lakeside Park in Ashtabula around 4:50 p.m. last Sunday, hoping to capture the last blush of sunset. My memory cards slipped from the inside pocket of my jacket when I brushed past a bench near the gazebo. The gulls cried, the water shimmered, and I retraced my steps along the boardwalk, heart sinking. Those cards hold weeks of travel photos and a few family clips I can’t replace, and I’m desperate to get them back. If anyone found them and handed them in somewhere safe, I’d be grateful beyond words to see them returned through the site.

Lost remote controls near Ashtabula Harbor

Hi, I'm Emily Carter. I'm in Ashtabula, Ohio. I lost my remote controls last Saturday around 6:45 p.m., while I was out for a walk along the Ashtabula Harbor. I stepped outside to enjoy the lake breeze and, when I got back, the remotes were gone from the coffee table by the window. They’re black, with one showing a small dent on the corner and the other a blue power button that still glows when the TV is on. It would mean a lot to get them back because I use them every night to switch between channels and mute the commercials. If you found them around the harbor or the marina, please hold onto them until I can confirm on the site.

Lost sheet music from a recital folder.

Hi, I'm Emily Carter. I lost my sheet music from last night's practice. I was at the Ashtabula Public Library around 5:45 p.m. Saturday, and I remember setting the folder on a chair by the grand piano near the main entrance. When I turned back, it was gone. The folder holds pages for a Bach and a Chopin set, and my initials are on the inside cover. It matters to me not just as notes, but as a memory of performing with friends. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to know it's safe.
