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 Brainerd 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 Brainerd in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost DVDs in Brainerd, Minnesota.

I was grabbing a late coffee at the Brainerd Market on a breezy Sunday around 2:15 PM when I realized my DVDs were missing from my tote. I retraced my steps toward the Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Brainerd and checked the benches near the Brainerd Public Library, but no sign of them. The set includes three titles, all with red jackets and familiar covers that bring back memories from college years. They mattered to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost pins in Brainerd vicinity

Hey, I'm Lena Olson. I'm in Brainerd, Minnesota. I lost a small tin of sewing pins this afternoon around 4:30 p.m. while I was leaving the Brainerd Public Library on 4th Street after a crafts meetup. The tin is green with a white lid, and the pins have tiny, colorful heads—these were my grandmother's keepsakes, and losing them stung more than I expected. I know it's a long shot, but they matter a lot to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back. If you found something shiny on the Brainerd City Hall lawn or near the library steps, please set them aside and I'll check in through the site.

Lost microwaves near Brainerd Public Library, MN

I was helping set up after a small fundraiser at the Brainerd Public Library this morning when two microwaves disappeared from the break room. They’re standard white, about 1 cubic foot each, with a couple of dents on the doors. They were sitting on a metal cart near the back entrance around 8:15 AM, and I’m sure I checked there before leaving. They’re essential for our after-school program and local volunteers rely on them, so I’m hoping they’re found and returned to the lost-and-found area.

LOST: Organizers in Brainerd

I was volunteering at the downtown Farmers Market near the Brainerd Public Library yesterday around 3:45 pm when I realized my organizers were missing from my tote. They’re a blue three-ring binder with calendars, checklists, and a few handwritten notes about a fundraiser. Without them I feel scattered, juggling deadlines and family plans this month. I retraced my steps along 2nd Street and around the library, hoping someone found them and kept them safe in the meantime.

lost sheet music near Brainerd Public Library

I lost my sheet music in a gray folder after rehearsal on Wednesday at 4:20 PM, and I must have dropped it as I hurried toward the Brainerd Public Library on Laurel Street. The folder holds pieces from our community choir, plus notes my grandfather wrote in the margins; it's hard to replace. I walked down Laurel Street toward 3rd Avenue but didn't see it anywhere. The pages are marked with coffee stains and a few torn corners, a small treasure of memory and practice. If someone found it, I’d be grateful to hear.

Navy Nike hoodie, size L, mountain patch

I lost my navy Nike hoodie yesterday around 3pm near the Brainerd Public Library on Willow Street. It's a size large, navy blue hoodie, made of a soft cotton-poly blend with white drawstrings. The chest has a small embroidered mountain logo, and there's a faint bleach mark on the right cuff from a coffee spill last winter. This hoodie has been my go-to during Brainerd's chilly mornings and it feels sentimental - it's a gift from my sister. If anyone found it, please reach out; I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back.
