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 Battle Creek 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 Battle Creek in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost driver's license near Kellogg Arena

Tuesday at about 2:45 p.m., I was walking along the Battle Creek Riverwalk by the Kellogg Arena when I realized my driver's license was missing from my wallet. It's a Michigan license, with my photo and the name Brandon A. Smith printed on it. I'm anxious about identity misuse, and I’m hoping someone found it and dropped it off at the arena information desk or nearby shops. If you found something that matches, please let me know through the site so I can retrieve it safely.

Lost stamps in Battle Creek

On Saturday around 6:20 p.m., I was at the Battle Creek Public Library on West Michigan Avenue, sorting through a small leather album of stamps when I stepped away for a moment to grab a pen. When I turned back, the album with my grandfather’s stamps had vanished from the table near the library’s cafe. The stamps include several rare precancels from the 1950s, and they’re priceless to me for family reasons. I’m hopeful they’ll be found and returned to their place in the album, so the collection can stay whole.

Lost postcards near Kingman Museum, Battle Creek.

Hi, I’m Marcus Bennett. I collect postcards from every road trip, and Battle Creek is no exception. I was at the Kingman Museum plaza on West Michigan Avenue around 3:15 p.m. last Saturday, taking photos and jotting notes in my backpack. I set a stack of postcards down on a bench while I checked my camera, and when I stood up they were gone. The stack includes old-school greetings from Michigan towns and a few modern cards I picked up along the way. They mean a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back with all the little notes tucked inside.

Lost: Organizers near Battle Creek Public Library

I was leaving a late volunteer session at the Battle Creek Public Library on West Michigan Avenue around 8:15 p.m. when I realized my organizers were missing from my tote bag. They’re simple black fabric organizers with Velcro pockets that I use for weekly craft meetups; losing them feels like losing a piece of my schedule. I retraced the library lobby and the sidewalks along Main Street, but they’re gone. If you’ve seen them around the library or along West Michigan Avenue, please help me get them back.

Lost radios near Kellogg Park, Battle Creek, MI

I was doing a quick sound check for a community gathering at Kellogg Park near the fountain around 3:15 PM on Saturday when two handheld radios disappeared from my tote. They’re black with gray trim, the kind our volunteer crew uses, and one has a small orange tag. I rely on them to coordinate volunteers and keep the event running smoothly, so I’m hoping they turned up nearby—in the park’s seating area or the pavilion. If you found them, please leave them at the park office or the library desk; I’ll be there after the event to retrieve them.

Lost: Holiday Decorations in Battle Creek, MI

I was decorating the living room for Christmas when a gust slammed the door and knocked the box loose. At 7:10 p.m. on Saturday I noticed the Holiday Decorations were gone from the chair rail by my West Main Street apartment, not far from the Kellogg Arena. The box held red and green ribbons, a string of old bulbs that still faintly glowed, and a battered snowman ornament my grandmother gave me. I'm anxious and a little embarrassed, because those decorations are tied to family memories and I want them back where they belong.
