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 Erie 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 Erie in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Document Holders near Dobbins Landing, Erie

On Friday at 5:30 p.m., I realized my Document Holders were gone from the railing by Dobbins Landing after I stopped for a quick coffee. They’re a set of three transparent plastic folders with a thin red trim, battered a bit from daily use. I kept receipts, schedules, and a few client notes in them, which is why I’m frantic to find them. I hope someone picked them up and handed them in at the Bayfront desk or left them on a bench near the lighthouse. I felt a wave of helplessness as the sun sank over the water. This is a LOST item.

Two dogs missing after Bayfront walk

I lost my two dogs after a quick walk near the Bayfront Connector by the Erie Maritime Museum this evening at 6:45 PM. They bolted when a car alarm backfired and I couldn’t keep up with them as they dashed through the parking lots and along Holland Street. Niko is a small wiry terrier with black and white fur; Luna is a larger German Shepherd mix with tan and black markings. I’ve been looping the area, calling their names and texting friends to spread the word. They’re my whole world, and I’m terrified they’ll be cold and frightened out there.

Lost coins from my coin collection in Erie

I was at Dobbins Landing this morning at 9:45 a.m., sorting through my coin pouch when a few coins slipped from my pocket and vanished into the crowd. They’re part of a long-term collection—a 1920s Lincoln cent, a silver quarter from the 1940s, and a tiny old token from a local arcade. I’ve carried them through many trips along the Bayfront, and losing them feels like losing a piece of my grandfather’s stories. If you found them around Presque Isle or near the Bayfront by Dobbins Landing, please let me know—the coins mean a lot to me.

Lost: two USB drives in Erie, PA

I was at the Bayfront Promenade near Bicentennial Tower in Erie around 5:42 p.m. last Friday. I must have dropped two USB drives from a side pocket while I stood up to check the map. The drives hold a few client files and personal photos I can't replace. I'm anxious to get them back so I can finish a presentation and salvage memories.
