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 Flint 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 Flint in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost brooches from my grandmother; sentimental heirlooms.

Last Friday around 7:40 p.m., I realized the brooches were missing outside the Michigan Theatre on S. Saginaw Street after I stepped out to take a call. They’re a pair: one with a sapphire stone and the other with a small pearl. I’d tucked them in the pocket of my blazer while I chatted with a friend, and when I turned back they were just gone from the bench by the entrance. They belonged to my grandmother, and losing them feels like losing a piece of her—I’m hoping for a friendly return from someone who might have picked them up by mistake.

Lost canines near downtown Flint

I was walking the Flint River Trail behind Cathedral Park around 7:30 pm yesterday when my two dogs bolted and disappeared into the dusk. Scout, a wiry grey terrier with a white blaze, and Willow, a friendly black lab mix, are curious and fearless, and I panicked when they slipped their collars and ran toward the river. I chased along the path toward the old Buick factory area, but the trail winds and I lost sight of them. It would mean the world to have them back safe—these dogs are family, and the house feels quiet without their barking. If you saw them or know where they are, please share through the site so I can bring them home.

LOST scarves in Flint

On Sunday at about 4:30 p.m., I was strolling along Saginaw Street toward the Flint Farmers Market when my scarves slipped from my shoulders during a chilly gust. One is a soft gray knit with a slim red stripe; the other is a thicker charcoal scarf with fringed ends. I retraced my steps past the Market entrance and around the brick storefronts, but the wind kept them hidden from sight. These scarves were gifts from my grandmother, a small warmth I cling to on long winter days. If anyone has them, please keep an eye out in the Market area or along Saginaw Street in downtown Flint.

Lost sculptures from Flint studio

Hey, I’m Marcus Hill. Around 6:30 PM yesterday, I lost a small outdoor exhibit of sculptures at a corner of Flint's downtown, near the Flint Public Library on Saginaw Street. I had placed three metal and ceramic pieces on a low pedestal while I went to fetch a catalog, and when I returned, they were gone. The pieces are about the size of a large loaf of bread, one with copper patina and another wrapped in clear resin. I feel gutted; they're works I spent months shaping, and I kept them out to photograph with the river in the background. If someone happened to move them for safekeeping or misplace them, I’d appreciate any help finding them.

Lost handheld radios downtown Flint

I was volunteering with a local community group this morning in Flint, around 9:10 a.m., near Saginaw Street by the Flint Public Library. I set two handheld radios on a bench while I briefed the kids, and in the bustle I turned away for a moment. When I looked back, they were gone—I must have lost them. They’re not fancy, just reliable radios we use to coordinate activities in the riverfront park and along Court Street, and losing them puts the day at risk. They’ve got stickers from our local radio club, which makes them easy to recognize. If you happened to see them, I’d appreciate any help reuniting them.
