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 Bismarck 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 Bismarck in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Avians in Bismarck near Riverfront Park

Last night around 8:40 p.m., I was walking through Riverfront Park in Bismarck when my two avians escaped from their carrier and fluttered away. I chased them along the paved path toward the Missouri River, but the fading light swallowed their silhouettes behind the trees near the State Capitol glow. They’re friendly, respond to a whistle, and I’m worried they’ll wander into a neighbor’s yard or get tangled in branches. If you spot two small birds with bright green markings circling the lampposts by the park boat launch, please help them find their way back home.

Lost gym clothes in Bismarck

Last night around 5:15 PM I was wrapping up a workout at the Gateway Mall fitness center in Bismarck and must have left my gym clothes somewhere in the hall by the juice bar. The clothes are a forest-green hoodie and black leggings, with a white towel tucked into the waistband. I remember taking them off to cool down near the stretching area and then getting distracted by a pickup game in the court. I’ve been scrambling since to replace them, and it’s rough—these are my only clean set. Any help finding them would mean a lot.

Lost DVDs in downtown Bismarck

Hi there, I'm Mia Johnson. I had a small tote with a stack of DVDs when I left a friend's apartment last Saturday, and at about 7:15 pm I realized it was missing. I think they slipped out somewhere between the Belle Mehus Park entrance on Main Street and the 5th Avenue crosswalk in downtown Bismarck. Those films were my go-to comfort after a rough week, especially the rewatchable classics I saved for quiet evenings. I'm hoping someone who found them did the right thing and kept them safe. If you were in that area around that time and picked them up, please know they matter to me.

Lost drone near the North Dakota Capitol, Bismarck.

I was testing the drone for a quick landscape shot at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, outside the North Dakota State Capitol grounds in Bismarck. The drone is a compact foldable model, matte black with a red trim and a small blue camera housing. A gust snagged the strap and it drifted toward the riverbank by the Missouri River overlook. I chased after it, calling its name, but the wind kept it out of reach and I lost sight of it among the grasses and shadows of the memorial steps. It feels like losing a link to a day I wanted to capture. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Lost multicolored glasses with progressive lenses in green case

I lost my pair of glasses that had a multi-colored frame that is mostly red, with speckles of yellow, purple, blue, light green and has my most recent prescription in my progressive transitional lenses. I placed them in my soft light green leather sunglasses case and have exhausted all the stores and places I have been to since May 17th and am totally distraught as they were my favorite pair of glasses. If they are found, please contact Deb. I would be ever so gratefull!! Thank you!

Lost sheet music near Capitol grounds

I was walking from rehearsal to grab a coffee near the Capitol grounds on 4th Street when I realized my sheet music had vanished from my tote around 4:15 p.m. on Sunday. The folder is blue with my initials and contains a few pages with pencil markings for a recital, plus a page from my grandmother’s collection tucked inside. Those pieces mean a lot to me as I prepare for a service, and I hope someone who finds them will see this listing.
