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 El Paso 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 El Paso in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Brown leather belts with red thread

I was leaving the Chamizal National Memorial at about 6:42 p.m. on Sunday when I realized my belts were missing. They’re brown leather with a small red thread detail, and one buckle is a bit dented. I walked the riverwalk and up toward San Jacinto Plaza, retracing my steps along McKie Street, but I came up empty. These belts were a gift from my grandfather, and I wear them almost every day; losing them feels like losing a piece of home. If someone found them, please hold onto them a little longer — I’m desperate to get them back.

Lost hoops in El Paso, Texas

I lost my hoops around 6:30 p.m. last Friday near San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso. I had paused to tie my shoe and cool my dog down at a vendor on the corner of Overland Ave and Stanton Street when I realized the hoops were missing from my ear. They’re simple gold-tone hoops about 1.5 inches, a tiny scratch on the back from a tumble last week. They were a gift from my grandmother and feel like a small piece of home when I’m away from family. If you see them, please hold onto them for me.

Lost Drones in El Paso

On Friday at 7:15 PM, I realized my drones were missing after a quick shoot near Chamizal National Memorial in El Paso. I had them set down on the grassy slope by the Rio Grande while I adjusted the gimbal, and I must have walked away as the sun sank behind the Franklin Mountains. There are two drones: one is a silver quad with a red stripe on the nose, the other a small black model with a gray case. I rely on them for freelance gigs, and losing them feels like a setback I cannot replace easily.

Lost toasters near downtown El Paso

I was helping a friend move on the West Side of El Paso around 7:30 PM yesterday when I realized my two toasters weren't in the box I loaded. We had paused for a quick break near the Chamizal National Memorial, and I must have left them on the kitchen counter back at the rental. They’re small, stainless with chrome knobs, and I use them every morning; losing them feels silly but it’s also a small piece of home I don’t want to forget. I hope they turn up somewhere around downtown El Paso, especially near Chamizal Park.

Lost swimsuits in El Paso area

Last Friday at 3:45 p.m., I realized my swimsuits were missing after a quick dip at the Riverside Pool at Westside Park in El Paso. I retraced the pool deck and the grassy picnic area, but they weren't there. The set includes a blue one-piece and a red bikini tucked in a light mesh bag. I know someone might have picked them up in a rush or mistaken them for theirs, and I’m hoping this post helps someone come forward with them.

Lost pocket watches near Plaza Theatre, El Paso

On Saturday around 2:15 PM I had my grandfather's pocket watches tucked in a brown leather case while I waited outside the Plaza Theatre on San Antonio Ave to grab a quick coffee. I set the case on a bench by the El Paso County Courthouse steps and got distracted by a phone call. When the call ended, the case and the watches were gone. These watches carry a lot of family history, and losing them feels like losing a piece of my grandfather. I have retraced the theater area and along San Antonio Ave, but I haven't had any luck yet.
