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 Boise 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 Boise in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost lamps near Basque Block, Boise

Status: LOST. After a late dinner downtown, I realized my two lamps were missing from the living room. Last night, around 9:30 p.m., I was walking past the Basque Block on 6th Street toward the Boise Depot, hoping to catch the bus home, when I noticed they weren’t in my tote. The lamps are ceramic bases—one white with a blue shade, the other cream with a yellow shade. They’re not flashy, but they warm up my apartment and remind me of my grandmother. If someone found them, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost: bundle of kitchen appliances near downtown Boise

I realized around 7:10 PM yesterday that my bundle of kitchen appliances was missing. I was at the Riverside Apartments on West Idaho Street, cleaning up after making dinner for a neighbor and stepping out for a quick call by the Boise River Greenbelt trailhead. I last left them on the kitchen counter—a shiny stainless toaster, a blue-lidded blender, and a compact slow cooker. It feels grounding and a little heartbreaking to lose them; those gadgets are part of my nightly routine and, in a way, connect me to my family’s memories. If anyone has seen them, I just want them back where they belong.

Lost: Student ID in Boise, Idaho

I realized I dropped my student ID after my 8:20 AM class, while walking out of the Boise State University Library. I retraced my steps toward Julia Davis Park, near the fountain, but I didn't spot it. It's essential for campus access, library checkouts, and getting around town, so I’m anxious about losing it and the hassle of replacing it. If you happened to pick it up, know that it would mean a lot to me and I’d be grateful to have it back.

Lost pocket watches near Boise Capitol

Hi, I'm Ava Collins. I lost two pocket watches around 4:20 p.m. Friday while I was browsing the vintage stalls on 8th Street near the Boise Capitol. I must have slipped them into my coat pocket and forgot as I hurried to catch the bus. One watch is tarnished silver with an etched leaf; the other is a warm gold case with a tiny compass lid. They were family heirlooms, and I’m hoping they’ve simply slipped into a nearby planter or under a bench; I’m a little heartbroken thinking they’re gone.

Lost radios near Boise Depot

I lost my radios around 7:25 PM last Friday near the Boise Depot. They’re a compact pair, gray with a blue display, and one has a dent in the corner from a fall on the pavement. They’re important to me because they’re my go-to for coordinating volunteers during events, and they hold a handful of work notes scribbled on sticky tabs. I’ve retraced Front Street and the Greenbelt by the depot, but there’s no sign of them yet.
