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.

Two microwaves lost near Dubuque Riverfront

I was loading two microwaves into the back of my pickup after a quick trip to the store along Main Street near the Riverfront in Dubuque. It was about 6:45 p.m. yesterday when a momentary distraction had me turn away to grab my jacket, and the tailgate slipped free. By the time I realized, the two stainless steel microwaves were gone. They are identical models, both a dark gray with white handles, and they were my apartment's only quick heat option as I settle into a new place. I am scrambling to replace them and remain hopeful that someone saw them and will return them via the site.

I lost a handful of coins near the Riverwalk.

I was strolling the Dubuque Riverwalk by the Diamond Jo Casino around 3:45 pm yesterday when I realized my pocket felt lighter. I had been counting coins—mostly old pennies, a dented silver dime, and a tiny keepsake from my grandfather. The river glowed in the late light and families lingered by the marina, making the moment feel busier than it was. I retraced my steps along the railing, past the benches, and by the small pier, but I couldn’t find them. Those coins aren’t valuable, but they mean a lot to me, and I’m praying someone picked them up and kept them safe until I could return to the dockside kiosk.

Lost utensils near Riverwalk, Dubuque

I was helping prep a small dinner along the Mississippi at the Riverwalk near the Diamond Jo Casino when I must have dropped my utensils. By 6:15 pm on Sunday, the crowd drifted along the riverfront, and I couldn't find the set, a battered stainless spoon, a wooden spatula, and a chipped ladle. Those utensils mean a lot to me because they were my grandmother's, the ones she used to stir soup on chilly Dubuque evenings. I retraced from the riverfront overlook toward the fountain and back along the pedestrian bridge, but I didn't spot them, and I'm hoping a kind passer-by held onto them until I could return.

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.
