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 Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Student ID near UND Memorial Union, Grand Forks

Hi, I’m Emily Carter. I lost my student ID on Monday around 2:30 PM on the University of North Dakota campus, near the Memorial Union. I popped into the library to print a note and when I came back, the ID was gone. I retraced my steps from the elevator lobby to the coffee shop by the windows, and then toward the bookstore, but it didn’t turn up. The card bears my name and a student number, plus a couple of library access codes I need for finals week. It’s more than a card; it’s peace of mind and a link to normal campus life. I’m really hoping it turns up near the Memorial Union or the library entrance.

Lost power tools in Grand Forks

Last Friday evening, around 6:40 p.m., I realized my power tools were missing from my garage on 4th Street in Grand Forks. The set includes a red cordless drill, a black circular saw, and a battered toolbox with a faded label. They are essential for my remodeling project, and I have been juggling repairs for weeks. If you found them by Lincoln Park or around the alley behind the hardware store, I hope they are safe and someone will bring them back through the site. They are not just tools -- they are how I keep up with my rent and help neighbors fix things.

Hi there, I’m Olivia Burke. I was at Columbia Mall in Grand Forks yesterday evening, around 6:15 PM, near the food court, when I realized my DVDs were missing from my tote.

Lost drums near downtown Grand Forks.

Hi, I’m Casey Patel. I was wrapping up a practice session around 6:30 PM Tuesday near the Empire Arts Center courtyard on 2nd Ave in downtown Grand Forks when my drum kit disappeared from the stand. It’s a black five-piece kit with chrome hardware and a red sticker on the bass drum. I retraced my steps along the Riverwalk and asked a few nearby cafe staff, but no luck. These drums are crucial for my weekly gigs and memories, and I’m hoping someone who found them will see this and help get them back to me.

Lost travel visas near Alerus Center

I realized my travel visas were missing around 7:30 p.m. on Friday after leaving the UND campus bookstore and walking toward the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The documents were in a brown leather folder labeled Travel Visas in neat handwriting. The papers are essential for my upcoming trip, and losing them has me anxious about timing and arrangements. I retraced my steps along Demers Ave from the bookstore to the arena, but I didn’t see them. If anyone found them near the arena, bus stop, or nearby parking lot, please let me know through the site.

Lost work cases on campus near Memorial Union.

At about 3:15 p.m. last Friday, I was wrapping up a design meeting on the University of North Dakota campus and realized my two work cases were missing from the hallway outside the student labs near Memorial Union. They’re black hard-shell cases—one larger, one smaller—with a few scuffs and a red zipper on the smaller one. Inside are documents, a project folder, and a charger I rely on for deadlines. I’m anxious to get them back and keep my projects moving forward.
