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 Binghamton 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 Binghamton in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Student ID lost on BU campus, Binghamton

I’m Maya Patel, and I was on the BU campus—specifically near the University Union—around 8:20 PM yesterday when I realized I had lost my student ID. The white card with a blue BU crest slipped from my pocket as I stood by the food court stairs, and I haven’t seen it since. I’m anxious because I need it for library checkouts and class access this week. If you’ve seen a BU student ID with the name Maya Patel, please keep it safe and let me know through the site so I can recover it.

Lost: my sculptures in downtown Binghamton

Late Friday evening, around 7:30 p.m., I realized my sculptures were missing from a small display setup in front of The Forum Theatre on Court Street, downtown Binghamton. They’re two plaster pieces, roughly the size of a coffee mug, with a pale glaze and chipped edges. One is a slender abstract figure with a tilted head; the other a blocky geometric shape. The wind kicked up and the streetlights flickered as I walked away for a moment and came back to find them gone. I’ve replayed the scene in my head since, hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe.

Lost passport in downtown Binghamton

I was in downtown Binghamton, and around 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday I realized my passport was missing. I’d stopped for a quick bite on Court Street and then headed toward the bus stop by the Broome County Courthouse, retracing my steps along Main Street and the Forum area. I fear I left it inside a bag or on a chair somewhere, and I’m anxious about travel plans and visas resting on its pages. It would mean a lot to me to be reunited with it, and I’m hopeful the person who found it will see this and know it belongs to me.

Lost holiday decorations in Binghamton

On Friday around 8:15 PM I was unloading boxes from my car on Chenango Street, near the Roberson Museum and Science Center in downtown Binghamton, and I realized my holiday decorations were gone. The items include a red velvet wreath with a gold bow, a string of warm white lights, and a bundle of handmade paper snowflakes. I retraced my steps along Court Street and the parking area by the Chenango Street bridge, checking car doors and the ground, but nothing turned up. I'm bummed and a little anxious—these decorations were sentimental keepsakes from holidays past and I hoped someone picked them up to help me salvage the season.

Brown violin in worn black case

I lost my brown full-size violin yesterday around 3pm near the Broome County Public Library on Court Street in downtown Binghamton. The violin lives in a black case with a red interior; there are a few tiny scratches on the chin rest and a small star sticker inside the lid that says 'Sparrow'—it's a unique feature if you open it. The bow has a bright red grip, and the case zipper is a little stubborn, but it’s a standard student setup. This instrument was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping someone who finds it will return it.
