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 Fort Dodge 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 Fort Dodge in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost toasters near Fort Dodge Public Library

I lost my two toasters on Friday around 4:30 p.m. near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. I was unloading groceries when a gust of wind knocked them from the cart and into a cluster of parked cars. They’re plain white, with a blue dial on each and a dent in the chrome from daily use. These little appliances anchor my mornings, and I feel unsettled without them.

Lost sheet music in Fort Dodge—back row of theatre.

Hi, I’m Erin Park. I lost a battered folder of sheet music—mostly piano scores with a few vocal lines, the kind I carry to every rehearsal. After rehearsal at the Fort Dodge Community Theatre, around 8:45 pm on Tuesday, I set the folder on the chair by the stage door and thought I grabbed it, but it wasn’t in my bag when I headed into the night. The folder is black with a red spine and carries a few handwritten markings in pencil. Those pages hold practice notes from late-night sessions, and one page bears my grandmother’s doodle in the corner. I’m hoping someone found it and left it somewhere safe.

Blue quilted duvet cover with monogram M

I lost my blue quilted duvet cover yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Public Library on Central Ave. It's a king-size duvet cover from the Threshold line, solid cobalt blue with white piping. The fabric is soft but has one small coffee stain on the top edge, and there's a silver-thread monogram 'M' on the corner. I had it on the bed at my apartment on Central Ave, and I might have left it in the library parking lot after taking a call. It means a lot to me; it was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please let me know—I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket, size 40R

I lost my black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket yesterday around 3pm near the Fort Dodge Community Theatre on Central Avenue. It's a size 40R, with satin peak lapels and a single black tuxedo button. Inside, there's a small coffee stain near the care label, and a white monogram 'JD' embroidered on the inside left pocket. This jacket was a gift from my partner for our anniversary, so it’s really sentimental to me and I’m hoping someone picked it up and can return it. I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Red ceramic teapot with wooden lid, chipped

I lost my red ceramic teapot with a warm wooden lid yesterday around 5pm near the Hy-Vee on 9th Ave South in Fort Dodge. It's a mid-sized pot, about 6 inches tall, with a glossy glaze and a small chip on the rim and a tiny crack near the spout. The inside is clean, but the glaze shows wear from years of use; I even wrote my initials 'A.S.' on the bottom to identify it. It means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, so I'm really hoping someone found it and can return it.
