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 document holders downtown Evansville

This morning around 8:15 AM, I was leaving the Evansville downtown area near the Ford Center and must have left my document holders on a bench by the bus stop on 2nd Avenue. They’re black leather, a bit scuffed from daily use, and they contain a handful of important papers that I need for work this week. I’m hoping the finder sees this and can help me get them back, as those documents mean a lot to my job and a lot of my day-to-day planning.

Lost photographs in Evansville, Indiana

Last Tuesday around 6:30 p.m., I was by the riverfront along Riverside Drive in Evansville when my photographs slid from my bag and vanished. The stack in a red folder held cherished old family pictures and a few recent snaps that tell the story of my grandparents and our summer road trips. Losing them feels like losing a part of my history, and I’m sick at heart thinking they might have fallen into the breeze and not turned up. I remember turning away to admire the Ohio River and then realizing they were gone. If they turn up near the Tropicana Evansville, I’d be forever grateful to have them back.

Lost hamsters near Willard Library, Evansville

I lost my hamsters last night around 8:15 PM in Evansville. They were in a small cage on the living room floor when a hinge gave way and they slipped out through a gap under the sofa. Now I'm missing two tiny pets: a beige Syrian named Niko and a fluffy gray dwarf named Pixel. Most likely they're hiding near Willard Library, maybe scurrying under porches or inside planters along 4th Street. My home feels empty without them, and I just want them safe back at home.

Lost paintings near Evansville Arts District

LOST: On Tuesday around 6:30 p.m., I was painting near Main Street in Evansville's Arts District, by the Victory Theatre. My two small paintings slipped from a tote when a gust blew by the riverfront bench, and they vanished into the evening crowd. One shows a lavender sunset; the other, a quiet riverbank. I retraced my steps along Main Street and asked at the cafe, but no one turned them in. It hurts to think of them out there, especially since one painting carries my grandmother's memory. If found, please help me get them back to their owner.

Lost: Breeds in Evansville, Indiana

Hi, I’m Sarah Collins. I lost my little item—a blue-covered book titled Breeds. I was leaving the riverfront after a Friday night out in Evansville and must have set it down on a bench near Riverfront Park by the Ohio River, around 8:40 p.m. The area was crowded and lit with string lights, and the bench looked like a good spot to rest. Inside are notes on different dog breeds and a few sketches my grandmother loved to doodle; losing it feels like losing a small piece of her. I’m hoping someone found it and kept it safe until I can pick it up.

LOST passports in Evansville

At around 2:15 PM today I realized my passports were missing after I left a Main Street Coffee Co. window seat in downtown Evansville. I retraced my steps along the riverfront and spoke to a security guard near the Ford Center, but I couldn’t find them. They’re blue covers with photos and data inside, and losing them has me anxious about upcoming travel plans and concern for identity safety. I’m hoping someone picked them up and turned them in at the Amtrak station or nearby; anything helps, and I’d be grateful for any help.
