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 CT 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 CT in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

ECSU student ID card with photo

I lost my ECSU student ID card yesterday around 3pm outside the Student Center on High Street in Willimantic. It's a blue-tinted plastic card, about the size of a credit card, with my photo and the name Priya Patel printed on it. There's a small dent on the upper-right corner and a green ECSU robotics club sticker on the back, plus a faint coffee stain near the magnetic strip. The card is my key to the dorm and the library, so it's got a lot of sentimental value and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please drop it at the ECSU security desk or message me here—I’ll be forever grateful.

Red dog harness with reflective stripe and paw charm

I lost my red nylon dog harness with a reflective stripe yesterday around 3pm in Eastern CT, probably near the Mohegan Sun area in Uncasville. It's a small-to-medium adjustable harness with a black plastic buckle and a sturdy D-ring; there's a tiny blue paw-print charm dangling from the strap. The harness is in good condition overall, just a little wear on the edge of the strap. It has sentimental value—my sister gave it to me for my dog's first birthday, and I really need to get it back for my pup's sake. If anyone found it, please reach out; I’d be incredibly grateful to reunite with it.

Framed abstract painting, blue and gold

I lost a framed abstract painting yesterday around 3pm in the Mohegan Sun Arena parking lot in Uncasville. It’s an 18x24 inch canvas, mostly cobalt blue with shimmering gold accents, housed in a distressed oak frame that has a small scuff on the bottom edge. On the back there’s a pencil note that says 'For Mother's Day' and a faint fingerprint near the lower-right signature. It has serious sentimental value to me—it's a gift from my grandmother that I’ve kept in the living room for years. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Vintage Hamilton pocket watch with monogram

Hey, I’m Priya Patel. I lost my vintage Hamilton pocket watch yesterday around 3pm near the Groton Public Library on Route 1 in Eastern CT. It’s a gold-tone 1960s pocket watch, roughly 1.75 inches across, with a black leather fob; the back is engraved with the monogram 'M.R.' and the glass has a tiny crack. The case shows some wear, but the dial is clean, and this piece has sentimental value because it belonged to my grandfather. If you found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back; I can meet at the library or arrange a pickup anywhere in Eastern CT.

I lost my blue laminated ID badge with my photo and a vertical green stripe yesterday around 3pm near the Water Street entrance of the Custom House Maritime Museum in New London, Eastern CT.
