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 Delaware 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 Delaware in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost GPS Devices in Delaware, Delaware

I realized my GPS devices were missing around 3:40 p.m. yesterday while I was walking along Market Street in downtown Wilmington, near Riverfront Park. I had paused to check a route on my phone and must have left them on a bench by the old statehouse. The devices are small, with black casings and a white sticker on the back. I'm hoping someone who found them can keep them safe until I can return for them; I rely on them for work trips and emergencies.

Lost travel visas in Delaware, DE

Hi, I'm Jordan Reed. I misplaced my travel visas during a visit to downtown Wilmington around 11:20 a.m. today, near Market Street Station and the riverfront. They were tucked inside a light-blue folder in a slim plastic pouch that I carry every trip. The folder bears my name and a few critical dates, and losing it has me scrambling to reassemble things. I’m hoping someone honest picked it up and kept it safe, as these documents are essential for my travel plans.

Lost USB drives on Market Street, Wilmington

Hi, I’m Sarah Mitchell. This evening, around 5:40 PM, I was at a quiet coffee shop on Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware, printing notes for a meeting. I set two USB drives on the table and stepped away for a moment; when I returned at 6:05 PM, they were gone. The drives contain work slides and a folder of family photos, and losing them feels personal and stressful. If anyone found them, I’d be grateful if they could keep them safe until I can get back to the shop to ask about them.

Tan leather Coach tote with blue scarf

I lost my tan leather tote yesterday around 3pm near Market Street by the Grand Opera House in Wilmington. It's a mid-sized Coach tote with gold-tone hardware, and I always keep a sky-blue scarf tied to the handle. Inside are my burgundy wallet, sunglasses, and a small lavender perfume sample. The lining has a faint sun-bleached pattern and there’s a tiny fox charm on the zipper pull. This bag was a gift from my grandmother, so it really means a lot to me. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Gray tabby cat with blue collar, missing

I lost my gray tabby cat yesterday around 3pm. He tends to wander near Main Street and Academy Street in Newark, Delaware, sometimes slipping into the UD campus area. He’s about 9 pounds, with a gray tabby coat, white chest, and a small notch in his right ear. He wears a bright blue reflective collar with a tiny bell and a heart-shaped tag that says 'MILO.' He also has a small white dot on his left hind paw and a tiny scar under his chin from a past scrape. I’m really worried—he’s my only pet and he needs his daily medication. If you see him, please contact me; he means the world to me.
