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 Evansville 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 Evansville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Two dog collars near Evansville riverfront

This morning around 8:45 a.m., I was walking my dog along the Evansville riverfront path by the Ford Center when the collars slipped off the leash and vanished into the breeze. One collar is sturdy black nylon with a bright lime tag; the other is worn brown leather with a brass buckle. I retraced the boardwalks and ducked into the little coffee shop nearby, but I didn’t see them. I know how frustrating it is to lose a pet’s gear, especially when the day’s just starting. If you find them, please hold on to them until I can get back.

LOST Devices in Evansville near Ford Center

Last Tuesday at 9:15 a.m., I realized my Devices were missing from my backpack while crossing Main Street toward the Ford Center downtown Evansville. I had set the bag down briefly near the entrance and by the time I turned around they were gone. The set included a black laptop, a silver tablet, and a charger with a blue cord; the bag itself is a standard canvas with a faded logo on the front. I'm a freelance designer juggling several deadlines, and losing these devices has me scrambling to finish work on time. If someone found them, please share where they were left so I can recover them.

Lost hand tools near the riverfront in Evansville

I LOST my hand tools and I’m really hoping to get them back before Monday. I was at the Ohio Riverfront Park, near the Ford Center pedestrian bridge, around 2:45 PM on Saturday when I last had them in my tote. By the time I retraced my steps, the tote was gone and the hand tools—hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, and a tape measure—disappeared along with a small blue tool bag. They’re not fancy, but they’re my go-to set for home repairs, and I’d feel a bit lost without them.

Lost GPS devices near Tropicana Evansville

I was jogging along the Evansville Riverfront at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday when two GPS devices slipped from my pocket and vanished between the benches near the Tropicana Evansville casino on Riverside Drive. They both hold essential maps for work trips and a few saved routes, so losing them is more frustrating than I expected. One device has a black silicone case with the initials 'N.H.' in white, the other is a silver model with a scratched screen. If someone picked them up, please let me know through the site so I can retrieve them and get back to my day.

Lost holiday decorations after neighborhood block party

I spent Friday evening helping decorate the block near Sunset Park on West Franklin Street in Evansville, Indiana. After we wrapped up around 7:40 p.m., I loaded the garland, string lights, and a red Santa hat into a green storage tote and headed to my car. When I got home, I realized the tote hadn't made it into the back seat—it's possible I left it behind somewhere along West Franklin Street by Sunset Park. The tote is a sturdy Rubbermaid with a dented lid and a faded 'Patricia’s Decorations' label. Those decorations are sentimental, and I’m hoping they turn up soon.
