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 clutches near Sterling Post Office

At 2:32 PM this afternoon, I must have set my clutches down for a moment and they vanished from the pickup line outside the Sterling Post Office. One is a black leather clutch with a gold clasp, the other a small beaded evening bag—both hold my IDs and a note from my grandmother. I retraced the block twice, asked the clerk, and still nothing. It feels awful to lose them in a town I’m still getting to know, and I’m hoping a good Samaritan finds them.

LOST: Guitars, Eastern CO

Last Tuesday at 3:20 p.m., I was filling up at the gas station on Main Street in La Junta when I realized my guitars were gone from the back seat. I've kept them in that old case since I started playing bars along the Front Range, and the sunburst Strat sits beside a dented edge that a friend swore I gave it years ago; the black acoustic has a few pick marks near the soundhole from open mic nights. My heart dropped faster than the pump's gauge when I found the door unlocked and my strings unused in a long time. Those guitars carry years of gigs and travel, and I'm desperate to have them back in my hands.

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.
