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 Elko 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 Elko in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost GPS devices near Silver Street, Elko

Hi, I'm in Elko, Nevada, and I lost my GPS devices this morning. Around 9:15 a.m. I was walking the rail-trail behind the Northeastern Nevada Museum on Silver Street, when I realized two GPS units were missing from my pack. One is a rugged handheld Garmin with a forest-green case, the other a small backup tracker in a black shell; both have my hiking maps and route notes. I rely on them for backcountry trips in the Ruby Mountains, and losing them makes me feel a little stranded out there. If they turn up, I'd be grateful to have them back so I can plan my next trek safely.

Lost holiday decorations in Elko.

On Sunday evening around 6:45 PM, I was on my porch on 5th Street in Elko, taking down the outdoor holiday decorations after a small family gathering at the Western Folklife Center, when a weathered cardboard box with red ribbon disappeared from beside the hedge. The box held garlands, a handful of string lights, and a snowy snowflake topper that I planned to use for this year's display. I checked the yard, the sidewalk, and asked neighbors on nearby blocks, but nothing turned up. These decorations carry memories of last year’s lights and the plans for this year's setup; losing them feels a little like losing a moment with my family. If you found them, please let the site know so they can return home.

Lost belts near Northeastern Nevada Museum, Elko

I was at the Northeastern Nevada Museum on Silver Street around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday when my leather belts vanished from my backpack on a bench outside. One belt is dark brown with a brass buckle; the other is black and slightly scuffed—the kind I wore daily for years. They’re not fancy, but they’re heirlooms and carry my dad’s name stitched inside. I probably left them in plain sight while I looked at a display of local history, and when I came back they were gone. If you saw anything around the museum grounds or by Lincoln Street, please consider returning them—they mean a lot to me.

Lost postcards in Elko, Nevada—please help me recover

I lost a small stack of family postcards this afternoon. At about 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, I was walking along Main Street in Elko, near the Western Folklife Center, when I realized my tote was lighter than usual. The postcards are from our travels—stamps from Reno and Las Vegas, and a few with my grandmother's handwriting on the backs. I think I last handled them on a bench outside the courthouse before ducking into a cafe on Commercial Street for a quick latte. They are irreplaceable reminders of home, worn with age but full of memory. I’m hopeful someone honest found them and kept them safe. If you found them, please return them through the site; I’ll be forever grateful.

Space gray iPad Pro 11-inch with panda sticker

I lost my space gray iPad Pro 11-inch yesterday around 3pm in downtown Elko. It's in a black Apple Smart Folio case with a panda sticker on the back and a small dent along the bottom edge. I last had it outside the Elko Public Library on 4th Street near the cafe, and I must have set it down while I swung into a shop. The screen still works but there's a crack in the top-right corner, and the panda sticker is a unique identifier—this device also holds family photos and travel notes I treasure. If someone found it, email me at [email protected]—really need it back.

Navy blue Nike running shorts with lime drawstring

I was out for a run yesterday around 3pm and must have dropped my navy blue Nike running shorts with a lime-green drawstring somewhere near the Walmart parking lot on Idaho Street in Elko. They're men's size large, made of light, quick-dry fabric, with a small slit at the left leg and a faint Nike swoosh on the right thigh. There's a tiny snag along the waistband that I stitched up myself; it's mostly cosmetic. They have sentimental value because they were a gift from my coach, and I'm really hoping to get them back for upcoming training sessions. If anyone found them, I would be grateful to hear from you and arrange a pickup near the store.
