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 Cedar Rapids 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 Cedar Rapids in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost pins near NewBo Market, Cedar Rapids

On Saturday around 4:40 pm, I realized my favorite enamel pins were missing from the zipper pocket of my backpack while I was browsing the stalls at NewBo City Market in Cedar Rapids. The pins include a coffee cup, a tiny heart, and a travel badge I picked up on a trip. I retraced my steps along the market corridor and checked the benches by the entrance, near the Cedar Rapids Public Library, but I couldn't turn them up. They mean a lot to me and remind me of little joys. If you find a small pin collection on the floor or a bench, please take a moment to check this listing.

Lost pair of toasters near NewBo City Market, Cedar Rapids

I just finished unloading groceries when I realized the toasters were gone. It was around 2:30 PM by NewBo City Market in Cedar Rapids. I had set them on the counter to cool after a quick breakfast, but they must have slipped into a tote or the car when I wasn’t looking. There are two toasters, one silver and one black, each with a tiny doodle I drew on the side. They’re not expensive, but they’re mine and I miss them already.

Navy blue Nike running jacket with orange trim

I lost my navy blue Nike running jacket yesterday around 3pm near the NewBo City Market on 13th Ave SE in Cedar Rapids. It's a men's size medium, lightweight ripstop with bright orange reflective piping along the sleeves and a small zippered chest pocket. There's a faint fray at the left cuff and the bright red inner lining peeks out when you unzip the hem. This jacket is my go-to for training runs, and I really need it back.

Silver-tone crystal hoop earrings, 1 inch

I lost my silver-tone crystal hoop earrings yesterday around 3pm near the Cedar Rapids Public Library on 6th Ave SE. They’re about 1 inch in diameter, silver-tone hoops with a row of tiny clear crystals along the front. One earring has a small dent near the clasp and the other has a barely noticeable nick along the outer edge. They were a gift from my grandmother and mean a lot to me, so I’m really hoping someone found them and kept them safe.

Blue contact lens case with AP initials

I lost my blue contact lens case with initials AP yesterday around 3pm near NewBo City Market on Third Street SE in Cedar Rapids. It's a small hard-shell case, about 1.5 inches by 1 inch, translucent blue with a white lid, and the lid has a tiny scratch. Inside I have a spare lens and a microfiber cloth with a coffee stain on the corner. The case is sentimental because it belonged to my grandmother, and I really need it back.

Gold-tone wristwatch with black leather strap

I lost my gold-tone wristwatch yesterday around 3pm near the Cedar Rapids Public Library on 5th Avenue SE. It's a simple, elegant watch with a black leather strap and a brushed gold-tone face. There's a small nick on the bezel and the back is engraved with the initials 'AY'. It was a gift from my grandmother and holds a lot of sentimental value. I really need it back; if you found it, please text me or drop it off at the library's front desk, I'd be forever grateful.
