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 Fresno / Madera 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 Fresno / Madera in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost carry-ons in Fresno area

At 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, I realized my two carry-ons hadn’t followed me after a quick stop near the Fresno Amtrak station on Tulare Street. I was juggling bags and weaving through the plaza by the station cafe when they slipped from my grip. They’re the same size, one with a gray zipper and the other with a bright blue tag, and inside there’s a scarf and a small charger I need for work. I’ve retraced my steps from the plaza to Fulton Mall, down Fulton Street, and through the bus bays, but I’m sure they’re out there somewhere. Please help if you saw them.

Lost Shopping Bags near Fashion Fair Mall

Hi, I’m Maria Rodriguez. I lost shopping bags last Friday evening in Fresno. Around 6:20 PM I was at Fashion Fair Mall parking lot off Clovis Avenue and must have set my bags down beside a cart return near the store entrance. They’re a pair of blue canvas bags with groceries and a small birthday gift inside. There’s a grocery receipt, a pink gift bag, and a short list of errands tucked inside. I’m stressed because the bags carry items for my sister’s birthday dinner and I can’t replace them easily. Please check the nearby aisles and the cart-return area around Fashion Fair Mall.

Lost GPS devices around downtown Fresno.

I lost my GPS devices around downtown Fresno on Tuesday around 6:30 p.m., after I finished up at a late dinner near Fulton Street. They’re two small devices, one black with a blue strap and the other silver with a red mark along the edge. I rely on them for hiking routes and travel plans for work, and losing them has me scrambling to remember routes by memory alone. If you saw them or picked them up by any chance, I’d appreciate a heads up—these devices carry years of data and maps that aren’t easy to replace.

Lost handheld and console in Fresno area

This afternoon around 2:30 I realized my handheld and console were gone from my bag after a quick stop near the Save Mart on Blackstone Avenue in Fresno. I must have misplaced them during a sprint through the River Park area and then retraced my steps along Blackstone, asking at a few stores. My heart sank thinking of saved games and photos; the thought of starting over makes me feel anxious. If someone found them and left them somewhere safe, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Lost organizers near Fresno Tower District café

I was wrapping a community workshop at Revue Café on Olive Avenue in Fresno around 5:45 p.m. Saturday. Three small fabric organizers with color-coded tabs were on my table; they held notes, a small stapler, and index cards. I must have left them when I cleared my materials to leave, and I did not notice until I got home. They are essential for planning upcoming events, and I would be grateful if they are found and kept safe until I can pick them up.

Lost board games near Fig Garden Village, Fresno.

Last Tuesday, around 7:45 pm, I was wrapping up a game night at Fig Garden Village, outside the coffee shop by the entrance to Trader Joe's, when I realized my board games were missing from the outdoor table. The haul includes Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride, tucked inside a tan canvas tote with a blue strap. I remember chatting with a friend and stepping away for a minute to grab a drink, and when I got back, the tote and games were gone. I retraced my steps through the plaza, but no luck. Please keep an eye out; these games mean a lot to me and my family.
