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 Frederick 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 Frederick in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost felines in Frederick — two tabby cats

I was loading groceries around 6:40 p.m. on Saturday when my two gray tabby cats slipped their carrier and disappeared near Baker Park. They’re siblings, about 9 months old, one with a white bib and the other with a tiny black dot on the tail. I’ve lived in Frederick for years, and the thought of them wandering the Carroll Creek path breaks my heart. If you spot them, please know they’re probably skittish around strangers but respond to treats and familiar voices.

Lost shopping bags in downtown Frederick

Late yesterday afternoon, I realized my shopping bags were missing after unloading groceries at the Safeway on West Patrick Street around 4:15 p.m. I was rushing to pick up my daughter from camp and must have set the black tote on the trunk, then drove away. The bag is a plain black tote with a small tear at the top and a few receipts sticking out. Inside were a couple of reusable bags, fresh basil, and a handwritten grocery list. I’m anxious but hopeful someone found them and kept them safe, maybe near Baker Park, until I can pick them up.

Lost hoops near Baker Park, Frederick

I realized my hoops were missing on Monday at 6:15 p.m. after I left a coffee shop on West Patrick Street in downtown Frederick. I walked from Carroll Creek Park toward the Frederick Station and Baker Park, but somewhere along that route my small gold hoops with a tiny pearl charm slipped out. I patted my pockets, checked the café floor, and asked the barista to peek behind the counter, but nothing surfaced. They were a sentimental gift from my sister, so losing them stung more than I expected. If you found them, I’d appreciate you letting me know through the site so I can collect them and take a breath again.

Lost Appliances in Frederick

Last night around 9:15 PM I realized my small appliances were missing as I walked along Market Street toward Carroll Creek Park in downtown Frederick. There were a few items—compact blender, travel kettle, and a small grinder—that I use every day. I must have set them down near the park when I stopped to help a neighbor, and now I’m worried they slipped away in the crowd. They’re not fancy, but they’re essential to my routine, and I’m hoping they’re found and brought back.

Lost Driver's License in Frederick

Today around 2:30 p.m., I realized my driver's license was lost while I was walking along Carroll Creek Park near the Market Street Bridge in Frederick. I retraced my steps toward Market Street, scanning the path by the overlook and the little kiosk near the creek, but it wasn't there. This is a stressful moment for me, as I rely on it for ID and travel, and I hope someone found it and kept it safe until I can replace it. If you found it, please know that it would mean a lot to me to have it back.

Lost Pins in Frederick, MD

I was at Baker Park in Frederick, Maryland, around 7:20 pm yesterday when I realized my pins were gone. They were on the lapel of my denim jacket after I stopped to photograph the Carroll Creek. The set includes three small enamel pins: a compass, a heart, and a peach, all on a gold-tone backing; one pin has a slightly bent edge. They hold a lot of sentiment for me as a reminder of visits with my grandmother, and I’m hoping a kind stranger turned them in along the park path near the playground. I’m grateful for any help in bringing them back.
