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 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.

Anker USB-C hub with red braided cable

I lost my black Anker 7-in-1 USB-C hub yesterday around 3pm outside the Erie County Courthouse on State Street in downtown Erie. It's a matte black hub with gold-plated ports, and it has a short red braided cable attached. There’s a tiny scratch on the top left edge, and a blue sticker with my initials 'PS' on the underside. It’s part of my daily work setup and it's one of those things I rely on for school projects, so I’d be really grateful to get it back. If you found it, send me a quick message here and we can figure out a pickup near Bayfront.

Brown tortoiseshell eyeglasses with gold hinges, initials inside

I lost my brown tortoiseshell eyeglasses yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Peach Street in Erie. They're rectangular, medium width, with thin gold hinges and clear nose pads. The inside of the left temple is engraved with my initials 'PP', and there’s a small scratch on the left lens I noticed while cleaning them yesterday. They came with a black leather hard case with a red satin lining; the case has a tiny dent in the corner. I really need them back because they’re prescription and I’ve got a lot of reading to do for work. If you found them, email me at [email protected] and we can figure out a quick meet-up.

Blue employee ID badge with photo

I lost my blue employee ID badge yesterday around 3pm near Perry Square on State Street in Erie. It's on a black retractable lanyard and has my name 'Alex Kim' with the department listed in white on a light blue field. The back has a small coffee stain and a tiny dent in the lower-right corner; the photo shows me in a red jacket. I rely on this badge to access the office and the lab, and I'm really worried about getting it back.
