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 Catskills 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 Catskills in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Belts in Catskills, NY

I was hiking in the Catskills today and realized my Belts were missing around 2:30 p.m. near the North-South Lake overlook, after a scramble along the Esopus Creek trail. They are two brown leather belts with brass buckles, well worn from daily use. I have retraced the North-South Lake area and checked the parking lot by Kaaterskill Falls, but nothing turned up. If you found them, I would really appreciate returning them so I can stop worrying about the trip ahead.

Lost travel adapters near Phoenicia Diner, Catskills

I had my travel adapters in a small pouch when I stopped for coffee at the Phoenicia Diner around 8:15 p.m. last Friday after a day of hiking through the Catskills. I must have left them on the counter while I paid and chatted with the waitress about the view from the porch. The place smelled of hot coffee and apple pie, and the booths glowed amber as the sunset faded outside. I'm hoping someone picked them up and held onto them, because I rely on those little adapters to charge my phone while I'm on the road.

Leopard gecko with orange spots, missing

I lost my leopard gecko, Niko, yesterday around 3pm. He's about 3 inches long from head to tail, orange with black speckles and a slightly kinked tail from a past fall, plus a tiny white scar on his left hind toe. He lives in a small glass terrarium with a blue heat lamp and mossy cave décor, and I think he slipped under the sofa or slipped out the back door near the Phoenicia Diner on Main Street in Phoenicia, Catskills. If you spot him, drop me a note here—I'm really worried, he's been with me for years and means a lot to me.

Silver bracelet with moon charm lost near Woodstock

I lost my silver bracelet with a moon charm yesterday around 3pm. It's a slim, 8-inch bracelet with a tiny ruby set in the moon charm and a delicate maple-leaf engraving on the clasp. I was walking along Tinker Street near the Woodstock Diner in Woodstock, Catskills, after stopping at the farmers market. The bracelet has sentimental value — it was a gift from my grandmother and I wore it every day; I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out. I'll gladly describe more details and offer a small reward.

Clear contact lens case with blue interior

I lost a clear plastic contact lens case yesterday around 3pm near the Phoenicia Diner on Main Street in Phoenicia, Catskills. It’s a small, standard-size case with a bright blue inner lid and a tiny crack along the right hinge. Inside, there are two lenses labeled Left and Right, and someone etched a little 'Rx-237' on the bottom. The case is fairly clean, just a few micro-scratches from daily use. This set is for my Acuvue Moist lenses, and losing it threw off my whole routine — I really need it back; it’s the one I can wear without irritation. If anyone found it, could you drop it by the Phoenicia Pharmacy or message me here? Thank you so much.

Navy North Face parka with faux fur hood

I lost my navy The North Face parka yesterday around 3pm near the Phoenicia Diner on Route 28 in the Catskills. It’s a size XL, with a detachable faux-fur hood and bright orange zipper pulls. There’s a small fox embroidery on the inside left pocket and a faint snag on the left cuff from a hike last weekend. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If you found it, text me or email me—thanks for keeping an eye out.
