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: 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.

Lost sports equipment in Boise

I’m Jennifer Carter, and I lost my Equipment for Various Sports after a late practice. On Friday around 7:25 p.m., I left it on a bench near the north entrance of Julia Davis Park, just off the Boise River Greenbelt. The bag is a gray duffel with a neon-yellow strap, and inside you’ll find a mix of balls, gloves, and a blue helmet. I’m feeling anxious about replacing the gear, and the memory of that game still lingers.

Lost sheet music near Julia Davis Park

Hi, I’m Sophie Rivera. I was leaving the Morrison Center after rehearsal and headed toward Julia Davis Park when, at about 4:22 PM on Tuesday, I realized my sheet music was gone. The pages are labeled with my name and a few pencil annotations for my recital. I am anxious because the recital is in two weeks and those scores are essential to my performance. If you’ve seen them, please let the site know so I can pick them up.

Lost: My grandma’s enamel pins in Boise.

On Tuesday around 6:15 p.m., I realized my grandma’s enamel pins were missing after I grabbed a quick coffee near the Boise Towne Square fountain. I retraced my steps along the mall entrance and toward the greenbelt, but the tiny pins didn’t turn up. Each pin carried a memory from her, and losing them feels like losing a piece of her story. If someone found them, please know they’re special to me and I’d love to have them back where they belong, near the fountain lights.
