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 Wayne 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 Wayne in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sheet music near Promenade Park, Fort Wayne

Hi, I'm Owen Carter. I lost a stack of sheet music around 6:10 p.m. last Sunday while leaving Promenade Park near the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. I must have set the folders down on a bench by the river and forgot as I hurried to meet a friend across Main Street. The blue cover is labeled with my initials and a few pencil markings I used for a rehearsal. They matter a lot to me, and I’m hoping they didn’t wander far.

LOST: Equipment for Various Sports – Fort Wayne, IN

Last Friday around 6:50 p.m. I realized my gear for various sports was missing after a casual game at Headwaters Park in Fort Wayne. The item is a blue rolling duffel stuffed with gear for several sports: a soccer ball, a couple of tennis rackets, shin guards, and a dusty basketball. It was leaning against a bench near the fountain as the crowd started to thin after sunset. These items are essential for my weekend leagues, and I’ve been anxious about them disappearing; I’d be grateful to have them back through the site.

Lost drones near Promenade Park

I was testing two drones above Promenade Park around 6:45 p.m. last Saturday when a gust knocked one toward the tree line by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. I ran along the Rivergreenway hoping to reel it back in, but the other drone drifted off in the same direction and I lost sight of them. Those drones carry weeks of footage I can't replace—one is a newer model with a bright orange prop guard and the other is a backup with a cracked screen. I’m worried a passerby might have picked them up thinking they were someone else. Please keep an eye out near that area.

Gray North Face Borealis backpack

I lost my gray North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on Jefferson Blvd in Fort Wayne. It's a mid-size bag, about 28 liters, made of water-resistant gray fabric with black straps and bright yellow zipper pulls. There’s a small blue enamel compass pin on the front pocket and a frayed edge at the bottom from daily use. Inside are my chemistry notebook, a red rain jacket, and my student ID—this bag is my daily carry to work, and it means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate it if someone spotted it and could return it.

Navy blue knit scarf with compass pin

I lost my navy blue knit scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Embassy Theatre on Jefferson Boulevard in Fort Wayne. It's a medium-thick scarf, about 70 inches long, with a brass compass pin sewn near the left end and a tiny turquoise snag in the fringe. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me, so I really need it back. If you found it, I'd be grateful to get it back; you can reach me at [email protected].

Red leather coin case with 25 vintage coins

Category: Collectors Items. I lost my red leather coin case with about 25 vintage coins yesterday around 3pm in downtown Fort Wayne, near the Grand Wayne Convention Center on Jefferson Boulevard. The case is a small red zip pouch with a brass zipper pull and a faint stamp that reads 'Fort Wayne Collectors Club' on the front. Inside are coins from the 1910s through the 1960s, plus a tiny handwritten note that says 'For Dad' tucked in the inner flap. A few coins have a light green patina and one coin is a little bent, which should help identify it. Losing it hits hard—these coins were a gift from my grandfather and they mean a lot to me.
