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 Butte 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 Butte in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost travel visas after quick errand near Butte library

I realized my travel visas were missing around 2:00 pm Saturday as I hurried across West Granite Street, just outside the Butte-Silver Bow Public Library. I had tucked them into a red folder during a coffee run, then set the folder down to text a friend and walked away. The folder contains essential documents for a trip next month, plus a few notes in my handwriting. Losing them has me anxious about the appointment window; if anyone happened to find them, I’d appreciate them being kept safe until they can be claimed through the site.

Lost: Holiday Decorations in Butte

I am Emily Carter, and I misplaced a box of holiday decorations on Friday around 5:30 PM in uptown Butte, near the Berkeley Pit overlook. I had just loaded the stuff into my car and a gust slammed the door, sending the box sliding onto Main Street. I retraced my steps along the sidewalk by the county courthouse and checked the bus stop nearby, but the garlands and the handmade wreath were gone. Those decorations mean a lot to my family and were meant to brighten our Christmas, so I am hoping someone picked them up in the chilly evening. If you found them, the site will help with the rest.

Lost: CDs near Uptown Butte on Main Street

I’m Avery Collins. I realized around 5:45 PM today that my CDs weren’t in my bag after I left Uptown Butte and headed toward Main Street. I had stopped briefly on Main Street near the bronze miner statue and a snug cafe, and I must have dropped them somewhere along the sidewalk. The stack includes a few classic rock discs, one live indie set, and a travel mix I put together. They’re not just things; they’re memories and comfort. I retraced my steps along Main Street and even checked the parking lot by the cinema, but I came up empty. If you found them, please hang on to them.

Navy knit scarf with JS initials

I lost my navy knit scarf yesterday around 3pm outside the Butte Public Library on South Main Street. It’s a medium-length ribbed scarf, navy with a subtle charcoal stripe, and I think it’s from a small local shop (no tag I can remember). It has a tiny silver safety pin with a red heart charm stitched near the fringe, and the initials 'JS' embroidered inside the loop. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me—sentimental stuff, you know. If you found it, dropping it off at the library desk or shooting me an email would really help me breathe easier tonight.

Blue North Face backpack with orange zipper

I lost my blue North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm. It's a medium-sized cadet blue pack, with bright orange zipper pulls and a small red enamel pickaxe pin on the strap. Inside there's a gray fleece, a stainless steel water bottle, and a folded trail map. I think I left it near the Orphan Girl Brewing on Main Street in Uptown Butte, close to the old Mining Museum and the corner with Quartz Street. It has sentimental value—it's my hiking bag from a trip with my grandfather, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back.
