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 shoes after downtown Erie run

I realized my running shoes were missing around 7:30 PM on Thursday after a jog along West Bayfront and downtown Erie, near Perry Square. I retraced my steps along French Street, circled the Perry Square gazebo, and checked the benches and nearby shop doorways, but they didn’t turn up. They’re a size 9 gray Nike pair with bright lime-green laces, worn from early morning training and a few sweat-streaked workouts. If you found them on a bench near Perry Square, please contact me through the site so I can reclaim them.

Lost Leashes near Presque Isle, Erie

I lost my leashes this morning at Presque Isle State Park's Rotary Dog Park in Erie, around 10:15 AM. I set them on a bench for a moment while my dog did his business, and by the time we were ready to head back to the car, they were gone. They are two leashes: one neon-green with a black handle, the other plain black with a red clip. I’m worried about my dog's safety without them, since we rely on them for our daily walks. If you’ve found them, please let the site know so I can retrieve them.

Lost sheet music after practice near Perry Square.

I was at an open practice session near Perry Square around 8:15 p.m. last Friday, and I must have left my sheet music on the bench by the piano. The binder is blue-worn and has my initials in pencil along the corner. It holds a few pages of arrangements for our small choir, and losing it feels personal, like losing a piece of the show. I retraced my steps along the park paths and down the side streets toward the Bayfront, but no sign of the music. If someone found it, I’d be grateful beyond words.

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.
