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 Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost shoes near Harrisburg landmarks.

On Friday around 7:45 PM, I realized my running shoes were missing after I left Broad Street Market and walked toward Riverfront Park in Harrisburg. They’re blue with white soles, and the left toe has a small tear from months of training. I retraced my steps along Market Street toward the City Island Bridge, but they weren’t there. I depend on these shoes for my daily runs, and I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.

Lost travel adapters in Harrisburg

I lost my travel adapters last Saturday around 9:42 a.m., near the State Capitol steps in Harrisburg. They’re small, gray, universal adapters with multiple plug configurations, housed in a black pouch I carry for overseas trips. I rely on them for work and travel, and finding them would mean the world to me after a long week. If you came across them, I’m hoping this post helps point them back to their owner.

Lost stamps in Harrisburg

I lost a small envelope of stamps around 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday while wandering through the Broad Street Market in Harrisburg. I had the envelope out to compare a few commemoratives when I set it down on a bench near the market entrance, and a moment later it vanished into the crowd. The stamps mean a lot to me -- it's a family collection with a few pieces I inherited from my grandmother. If you happened to see an envelope on a bench near the market, I’d be grateful for any help finding it.

Lost: Travel Visas in Harrisburg.

I woke up this morning with a looming deadline for an overseas trip, and my travel visas were missing from my tote. I was waiting for a train at the Harrisburg Transportation Center, near the Market Street entrance, around 11:15 a.m. today, and I must have left them on a metal bench while I scanned a map. These visas are essential, and the whole situation is stressing me out as I imagine missing my flight.

Lost Student ID in Harrisburg, PA

I was leaving a staff meeting on the steps of the State Capitol when I realized my student ID was missing. It was around 2:15 PM on Tuesday, and the sun was catching the brickwork as I walked toward the riverfront. The ID is a standard card on a blue lanyard, and I rely on it daily for campus access and services, so losing it feels stressful. If you found it near the Capitol stairs or by the nearby market area, please hold onto it; I hope to recover it through the site.

Lost holiday decorations—home in Harrisburg, PA.

On Friday night, around 8:15 PM, I realized my holiday decorations were missing from the storage closet of my Harrisburg apartment. There was a garland, several LED lights, and a fragile snowflake ornament I bought last year. I picture the narrow hallway off Front Street, the dim glow of the lamp, and the pine scent that still clings to the air. I’m hoping someone picked them up by mistake and will return them in time for the holidays.
