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 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.

Black iPhone 12 with blue butterfly sticker

I lost my black iPhone 12 yesterday around 3pm after grabbing a coffee at Java Junction on Main Street in Ashtabula. It's in a clear silicone case and has a small blue butterfly sticker on the back, with the screen cracked in the lower-left corner. I probably dropped it near the crosswalk by the Ashtabula Public Library on Lake Street, or somewhere along Harbor Street while I retraced my steps. This phone holds photos from family trips and a few work notes, so it's really sentimental and I'm worried about losing them. If anyone found it, please reach out through the app — I'd be forever grateful to get it back.

Gold-tone bracelet with heart charm

I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Ashtabula Public Library on Main Street, by the side entrance where people sit outside. It’s a slim 7-inch chain with a heart charm and a tiny ruby stone that catches the light. The clasp is a small lobster, and the back of the heart charm has the initials 'AK' engraved—pretty distinctive. It was a gift from my grandmother and really means a lot to me, so I’m hoping it’s somewhere safe nearby. If you found something like this, I’d be grateful to hear from you and arrange a pickup near the library.

Gray Nike running shoes, size 9, purple accent

I lost my gray Nike running shoes yesterday around 3pm near the Ashtabula Public Library on Main Street. They're a women's size 9, with a gray mesh upper, a neon purple heel tab, and a white swoosh that's a bit worn from miles of training. Inside the tongue there's a tiny blue sticker that says 'Run4Hope'—a small detail that might help someone recognize them. They're in decent condition, with the tread still solid but the sole showing some wear. These shoes were my go-to for the charity 5k I train for, and they mean a lot to me; I’d really love to get them back.

Brown and white hamster lost near Breakwater Park

I lost my brown and white Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm. He slipped out of his small plastic travel cage while I was cleaning his enclosure near Breakwater Park by Lake Avenue in Ashtabula. He's tiny (about the size of a walnut) with a distinct white patch on his left ear and a tiny nose scar from a scrape last week. He loves sunflower seeds and will respond to my squeak and the rattle of his treat tin. This little guy means a lot to my family—it's our daughter's first pet and he has sentimental value. If anyone finds him, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a quick meet-up anywhere in Ashtabula.
