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: Suits in Dover downtown

I realized at 6:30 pm yesterday that my suits were missing from the coat closet in downtown Dover, Delaware, right by the old post office building. They’re two charcoal suits on matching hangers, one with a faint water stain on the lapel and a spare tie tucked into the pocket. I left them there after a quick meeting, thinking I’d grab them before heading to the airport, but when I returned they were gone. Losing these suits isn’t just a hassle; they’re what I’ll wear for a big conference next week, and I’m stressed about it. If anyone saw them or moved them by mistake, please leave a note here.

Lost carry-ons near Market Street, Delaware

I lost my carry-ons on Market Street in Delaware, DE around 11:30 pm yesterday after getting off the bus. The set includes a black rolling suitcase and a small tan carry-on, both scuffed from travel and labeled inside with a sticky note. I remember passing the old post office and turning onto Riverfront Way, hoping I hadn’t dropped them along the curb. The bags hold important documents for a job interview and a family photo album, so I’m anxious to get them back as soon as possible.

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.
