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 Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost travel adapters near Fountain Square, Cincinnati.

Saturday around 3:15 PM, I slipped my travel adapters from my backpack while I waited for coffee near Fountain Square on Vine Street. I’d left them on a metal railing outside the cafe, and by the time I turned back they were gone. They’re just practical little things, but they’re essential for my laptop and phone during trips, and I feel exposed without them. If someone happened to find them, please help me bring them back to my day-to-day routine in Cincinnati.

Lost scarves in Cincinnati

I lost my scarves yesterday around 5:45 p.m. outside the Cincinnati Zoo on Vine Street, near the Washington Park entrance. They're a navy blue wool scarf with a thin red stripe along the edge, soft but well-worn from daily use. I had them during a walk through the park, and the chill settled in as the sun dipped below the buildings. If you found them, please keep them safe; I’ll be back by the fountain at Washington Park tomorrow evening to search again.

lost USB Drives in Cincinnati

I lost my USB Drives around 3:45 p.m. Saturday near Findlay Market's entrance in Over-the-Rhine. They held the latest student project, some family photos, and a few key draft PDFs. I had them in a small black USB case; last seen when I helped a neighbor unload her groceries at the market. The memory sticks on them hold a lot of personal data and a project I care about deeply. I retraced the stalls and checked the market steps; the smell of roasted nuts and coffee filled the air. If you found them, please keep them safe so I can reclaim them through the site.

LOST holiday decorations in Cincinnati

I LOST holiday decorations around 7:15 pm on Sunday near Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati. A red tote with evergreen garland toppled from my arm as I stepped off the bus, and the lights spilled onto the pavement. They were for a family gathering and I'm anxious they'll be misplaced forever if not found. This listing is my hope that someone who sees it might recognize them and help bring them back to our home.

Navy puffer jacket with red lining, lost in Cincinnati

I lost my navy puffer jacket with a bright red lining. It’s a Columbia jacket, medium size, with a small silver hummingbird pin on the left chest and a tiny coffee stain near the hem. I last wore it yesterday around 3pm near Fountain Square in Cincinnati, by the arcade on Vine Street. The cuffs are a bit frayed and there’s a 'Dad's Gift' patch on the inside pocket—really sentimental to me and I’d be grateful to get it back.

Silver Ludwig snare with blue star sticker

I lost my Ludwig 14x6.5 inch snare drum yesterday around 3pm. I was at Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati, near the 4th & Vine area after a quick practice break. It’s a silver satin finish with a blue star sticker on the Ludwig badge, and there’s a tiny dent on the outer rim from a gig last month. This drum is my main practice snare and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandfather. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; I can describe more details if needed.
