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 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.

Leopard gecko, yellow with brown spots, lost

Category: Reptiles & Amphibians. I lost my leopard gecko yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on Burkhardt Road in Evansville. It's about 6 inches long, yellow-tan with irregular brown spots and a bright orange tail tip, and it has a small crescent-shaped scar on its belly from a minor fall last month. I’m really worried—this gecko was a gift from my daughter and means a lot to us; if you find it, please email [email protected].

Blue plush dinosaur with orange spots

I lost my daughter's blue plush dinosaur named Rex yesterday around 3pm near the Garvin Park playground on Garvin Ave in Evansville. It's about 12 inches tall, soft blue fleece with bright orange spots and a white stitched belly. It wears a red ribbon around its neck and has a small stitch repair on the left ear; the right leg has a tiny fray. It's sentimental—she's had it since she learned to say 'Rex' and she really misses it. If you found it, please reach out; we'd be so grateful to get it back.
