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 silver wristwatch with blue strap

On Friday at 5:45 p.m., I discovered my wristwatch was missing around Rodney Square in Wilmington. I had just ducked into a cafe on Market Street and stepped out into the crowd by the fountain. It's a slim silver face with a dark blue strap, a gift from my grandmother, and I wore it daily. I keep replaying where I could have dropped it, and the loss feels oddly personal and heavy.

Lost organizers in Delaware, Delaware.

I left two small organizers on the counter outside the Delaware Public Library in downtown Delaware around 4:15 PM yesterday. One is a clear plastic organizer with red dividers; the other is blue with tiny wheels. I turned away for a moment to grab a coffee, and when I looked back they were gone. They hold essential documents and craft supplies I need for a project, so I’m hoping someone kept them safe. I’ve retraced my steps near the library and along Market Street, but nothing turned up yet. If you found them, please drop them back to the site so I can retrieve them.

Lost enamel pins in Delaware, DE

Hi, I’m Maya Scott. I misplaced a small pouch of enamel pins while downtown Delaware around 2:30 pm on Sunday. The pouch had pins from a college club, plus a silver heart and a pinecone badge—mementos of good days. I must have dropped it near Main Street Market while I stopped for a quick coffee, and I didn’t notice until I got home. They’re sentimental, and I’d be grateful if someone who picked them up kept them safe until I can claim them.

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.
