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 Central Michigan 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 Central Michigan in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Document Holders in Central Michigan

I was rushing to a meeting in downtown Midland around 4:15 p.m. last Thursday when my document holders slipped from my briefcase and disappeared into the crowd. They contain a few important papers and travel receipts, nothing sensitive, but they matter to me. I retraced steps along Main Street, around The Tridge, and the River Walk, but I didn't see them again. If someone picked them up, please understand they belong to me and I'd be grateful to have them returned. Thank you for keeping them safe.

Equipment for sports lost on CMU campus

I woke up early Sunday around 7:45 a.m. on the Central Michigan University campus in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, and headed to the Recreation Center area behind the Student Activity Center, hoping to squeeze in a quick practice before class. When I got to the outdoor fields, my bag with soccer cones, a spare soccer ball, a portable goal clip, a couple of tennis rackets, and a basketball was gone. This gear covers multiple teams I coach, and losing it throws a wrench into our weekend game plan. I am hopeful someone picked it up and kept it safe until I can reclaim it.

Lost holiday decorations in Central Michigan

I was decorating the Christmas tree in my Mount Pleasant apartment on Franklin Street at 8:15 PM on Friday when I stepped into the kitchen for a moment and came back outside. My tote with holiday decorations had vanished from the porch, and that sinking feeling hit me hard. The tote was red, about 18 inches tall, with a white snowflake sticker on the lid, and inside were strings of lights, garlands, and a few fragile ornaments that belonged to my grandmother. Losing them hurts more than words can say, and I hope whoever found them saw this and kept an eye out around CMU Library and Main Street in Mount Pleasant.

LOST: Pins in Central Michigan

On Friday afternoon around 3:15 p.m., I was at CMU’s library steps, sorting through a travel bag and chatting with a friend, when I realized a handful of enamel pins had gone missing from a pouch on my backpack. The pins are a mix of bright enamel pieces, some with anchors and mountains, and one with a tiny compass that belonged to my grandmother. They’re sentimental, and losing them feels like letting go of stories. I last had them near the main entrance of the library, and I retraced toward the quad, but I couldn't find them. If anyone picked them up, please let me know through the site — they’re special to me and carry memories I treasure.

Lost travel visas on CMU campus

Early this morning around 9:15 AM, I discovered my travel visas were missing from my passport folder as I was leaving the Clarke Historical Library on the Central Michigan University campus in Mount Pleasant. I had just wrapped up a meeting about an upcoming trip and set the folder down on a chair while I checked an email. The folder is blue with a dent on the corner and a few official stamps; I need them back before my flight next week. If someone happened to pick it up, please drop it off at the site; I am anxious but hopeful.

Lost driver's license near CMU campus, Mount Pleasant, MI

I realized my driver's license was missing around 9:40 PM while I was walking back to my car after a quick stop near the CMU campus on University Avenue. The area around the parking lot by the quad was quiet, and the streetlamps cast long shadows as I searched the ground. The license is a standard card with my photo and birth date; it’s essential for my shift tomorrow and for getting around for work. I’m anxious about the delay and the replacement process. I retraced my steps through the campus lot and along University Avenue, but I didn’t find it. If found, please let the site know so I can get back to my routine.
