Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Des Moines are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.
- Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
- 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.
- For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
- Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
- Post a listing. Add a listing for Des Moines in case a fellow passenger picked it up.
