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 Dubuque 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 Dubuque in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sheet music

Hi, I'm Grace Thompson. I lost my sheet music for a piano recital during last Friday's rehearsal near the Diamond Jo Casino on Main Street in Dubuque, around 7:30 p.m. I had just finished cleaning the instrument and was about to head home when I realized it was gone. The blue cover with my initials is irreplaceable, and the thought of the recital looming makes me anxious. If someone found it, please let me know through the site; I hope it is safe and returned.

Lost: Organizers near Riverfront Park

I was packing up after a small community cleanup at Riverfront Park in Dubuque around 6:15 p.m. on Thursday. I must have left my Organizers there—a compact set of two plastic boxes with color-coded dividers—between a bench and a trash can near the playground. They’re where I keep my meeting notes, schedules, and a few photos from the neighborhood bake sale, so losing them left me stressed and unprepared. I hope someone who walked by that evening can tell me if they were picked up or moved; they mean a lot to keeping me organized, especially with a busy week ahead.

Lost holiday decorations in Dubuque

On Friday evening, around 7:45 p.m., I realized my holiday decorations were missing after I stepped outside onto my 8th Street porch for a breath of cold air near the riverfront. I had left a bag of garlands and a twinkling banner on the front steps of my apartment, near the Dubuque Museum of Art. It hurts thinking someone may have walked off with our family memories and traditions. I keep replaying the cozy glow of the lights against the snow and wishing they’d find their way home. If you’ve seen them around the riverfront or near the clock tower, I’d be grateful to have them back.

Silver bracelet with heart charm

I lost my slender silver bracelet yesterday around 3pm along the Dubuque Riverwalk behind the Diamond Jo Casino. It's about 7 inches long, sterling silver, with a tiny heart charm and a blue enamel star near the heart. Inside the clasp, the engraving reads 'Mom.' The bracelet is in decent condition, just a few light scratches. It was a gift from my grandmother, and it means a lot to me—I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it.

Silver Citizen Eco-Drive watch with black dial

I lost my silver-tone Citizen Eco-Drive watch yesterday around 3pm near the Diamond Jo Casino on Bell Street, along the Mississippi Riverwalk in Dubuque. It's a 40mm stainless steel case with a black dial, a date window at 3 o'clock, and a slightly worn black leather strap that's seen better days. There's a tiny scratch on the bezel near the 9 o'clock marker and an engraving on the back that reads 'A.R. 2006'. The watch is sentimental to me—my grandfather gave it to me, and it's been with me through a lot. I really need it back; it carries a lot of meaning and I miss it.
