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 Eastern CO 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 Eastern CO in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Equipment for Various Sports near CO fairgrounds

I was finishing practice at the county gym on Main Street in a small eastern Colorado town, around 6:40 PM, when I realized my Equipment for Various Sports was missing from my gym bag. The gear was neatly stacked in a blue duffel with a white stripe, including a couple of tennis rackets, a basketball, and a whistle lanyard that I always wore. I retraced my steps along the court hallway, past the concession stand and onto the street lighting that spills over the Main Street storefronts. Losing this isn't just about gear—it's the routine and routine's quiet confidence I rely on after a long day. Please keep an eye out.

Lost hand tools near Sterling, Eastern Colorado

I was finishing a fence repair at 5:30 p.m. last Tuesday, near the Sterling Feed & Hardware on Main Street in Sterling. My hand tools were in a gray metal toolbox with a blue hammer sticking out, plus a tape measure and needle-nose pliers. I must have dropped them in the gravel lot after I swung the toolbox into the truck bed. I’m worried they’ll be taken or end up in someone else’s spring project, and I’d really appreciate any tips from someone who saw something on Main Street that evening.

Lost postcards in Eastern CO, Colorado

I lost my postcards this past Monday around 2:45 PM in Sterling, Colorado, in Eastern Colorado. I had just left the Sterling Public Library and was headed toward the town square along Main Street when a gust ripped the envelope from my jacket and slid under a bench by the gazebo. The stack includes travel photos, old letters, and a few handwritten notes from a friend—the kind that hold memories. They matter to me a lot, and I’d hate to lose them forever. If you found a small pile near the library entrance or by the gazebo in the town square, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

Lost: Tank Accessories by Burlington grain elevator, Eastern Colorado

I lost Tank Accessories around 5:00 PM yesterday near the Burlington grain elevator on Main Street. I had been sorting parts in my truck and realized a box with fittings, caps, and hoses had disappeared from view. I walked the sidewalks and the nearby park, but it wasn’t there. I’d hate to stall my project, so I’m hopeful someone saw something.

Lost stamps near Burlington Post Office, Eastern Colorado

On Sunday around 7:45 p.m., I was sorting through my grandmother's stamp album at my Burlington apartment when a sleeve of valuable stamps vanished from a glassine envelope. I had them on the coffee table by the window, the light catching the glass as the room grew quiet. I worry some are irreplaceable, with 1920s commemoratives and faded cancels that tell stories of trips abroad. If anyone happens to find them, I’d be grateful for any trace or sighting that can bring them home.

Lost leashes in Eastern Colorado

I’m Ava Brooks, a dog owner living in Eastern Colorado. I lost two leashes last Friday around 8:15 p.m. after a short walk along Highway 287 near Bent’s Old Fort, by the Arkansas River. A gust tugged them from my wrist as I stepped into a shady picnic area, and they likely slid behind a bench or into the undergrowth by the trailhead. One leash is blue with a white paw print; the other is black with a green stripe. They’re well-used and remind me of my sister’s gift. I’m hoping they’re still somewhere close and safe, not swept away by the wind.
