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 Champaign Urbana 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 Champaign Urbana in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost pins near Illini Union, Champaign Urbana

This morning around 9:30 a.m., after a class at the University of Illinois campus, I realized my pins were missing from my backpack. They’re two enamel pins—one with a small campus mascot and another with a minimalist design—attached to the strap, so I noticed they were gone as I walked out of the Illini Union. I retraced my steps through Campustown and the Krannert Center area, asking at the student desk and around the quad, but no luck. I’m frustrated and missing a small piece of my student days, and I’d love to have them back with their little stories attached.

LOST: Driver's License near UIUC campus

I was at the Illini Union coffee shop around 6:15 PM last Saturday, juggling a coffee and a stack of papers, when I must've set it down and walked away. My driver's license is a blue card with my name and photo on it, and I remember the corner catching the light as I turned a page. I retraced my steps through the Union lobby, past the student lounge, and out toward Main Street, but it vanished somewhere near the campus bus stop. I’m anxious because I need it for work and ID checks this coming week. If you found it, please message me through the site so I can get it back.

Lost radios near Main Library

I was at the Main Library on Friday around 3:15 PM, studying for finals when I must have left my radios on a table by the reference desk. They’re two small portable radios from the 1990s; one is silver with blue trim, the other is black with a dent in the corner. I use them for campus events and late-night study sessions, and I'm worried I won’t have them for my upcoming presentation. If you found them, I’d be grateful for their safe return.

Blue cockatiel with yellow head; lost near UIUC Main Library

Hi, I’m Priya Kapoor. I lost my blue cockatiel with a yellow head yesterday around 3pm near the UIUC Main Library on Green Street. He’s about the size of a small pigeon, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheek patches, and he’s very friendly once he sees a familiar face. He also has a tiny silver leg band on his right leg with the numbers 4-7, and there’s a small white patch on his left wing that makes him easy to spot. If you spot him, email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a safe return; he’s my indoor pet and means a lot to me, I’d really appreciate it.

Gold vermeil hoops with emerald accents

I lost my gold vermeil hoop earrings yesterday around 3pm after a rehearsal at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on Lincoln Ave in Champaign. They’re small, about 1 inch in diameter, with two tiny emerald stones set on each hoop. The left hoop has a faint engraving on the inside that reads 'PK'—a personal touch from my grandmother. They were in a small black suede pouch, which I must have dropped somewhere between the lobby and the parking lot. They have sentimental value; I wore them for a family event and I really need to get them back. If anyone finds them, please message me—I’d be incredibly grateful.
