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 Bakersfield 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 Bakersfield in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost swimsuits in Bakersfield; please help.

Hello, I'm Elena Carter. I lost my two swimsuits after practice at Bakersfield's Hart Park Pool around 4:15 p.m. on Friday. I had them in a bright blue tote and must have dropped the bag while I changed near the poolside restrooms. One suit is turquoise with a small palm pattern, and the other is a solid navy; both were for an upcoming family trip. I'm hoping someone turned them in at the pool desk or found them along the path by Rabobank Arena area.

Lost Canines in Bakersfield near Hart Park

I let my dogs off-leash for a quick walk at Hart Park yesterday around 7:30 p.m. and they bolted after a squirrel toward the river trail. Ranger, a tall brown Labrador mix, and Pepper, a small beagle with a red collar, disappeared into the trees and I couldn’t catch up. I’ve been pacing the kitchen since, worried sick—these two are my whole life on four legs. They’re friendly and leash-trained, but they get nervous around crowds. If you saw two dogs answering to Ranger or Pepper around the Hart Park area, I’d be grateful if you could keep an eye out.

Lost sheet music near Buck Owens Crystal Palace, Bakersfield

At around 3:15 p.m. yesterday, I realized my sheet music for a recital was missing after rehearsals at the Fox Theater area in Bakersfield. The stack is a small bound book with yellowed pages, labeled 'Concerto in C' in my handwriting, with a few pencil notes on the margins. I had last tucked it into the top drawer of my messenger bag by the Buck Owens Crystal Palace, but by the time I reached my car near 19th Street, the book was gone. The melodies felt heavy without it, and the thought of someone else finding it warms me a little, hoping they’ll play it in their own way until I’m reunited with it.

Lost remote controls near Buck Owens Palace

This morning, around 7:15 AM I realized my remote controls were missing from the coffee table in my Bakersfield apartment, just off California Avenue. I had just brewed coffee and turned toward the living room when they weren’t there. I searched the cushions, the sofa, and the entryway rug, then checked the entire living room again, but they’re gone. It’s a small thing, but losing them leaves me frustrated and a little helpless as I try to start the day without the TV or streaming. If you spot them, please leave a note on the site; I’ll pick them up as soon as I can.

Lost student ID on CSUB campus, Bakersfield

Last Friday around 3:10 PM I realized my student ID was missing somewhere on the Bakersfield campus, near the CSUB Student Union. The card is a standard blue plastic badge with my photo and a few stickers from clubs I joined last semester. I traced my steps from the library through the quad toward the bookstore, then circled back, but I couldn't locate it after getting off the bus. It’s essential for class check-ins and library access, and finals week is already stressful enough without worrying about my ID.

Lost: My toasters in downtown Bakersfield, near Market Street

At about 7:15 PM last Friday, I realized my toasters were missing from the kitchen counter after I hosted a quick dinner at my apartment on 24th Street, not far from Buck Owens Crystal Palace. I use them every morning to make a simple toast before I start my shift at the auto shop, but they’re just old black units with a dent on the side. I turned the apartment upside down, checked the hallway, the laundry room, even the entryway, and they vanished. If someone sees two small toasters on a windowsill or in a nearby thrift shop, please tell me where they are—these are mine and I miss them.
