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 pants in downtown Harrisburg; please help.

On Friday around 6:15 p.m., I realized my pants were missing after I stepped out of the Broad Street Market and headed toward Strawberry Square. They’re dark blue denim, size 34, with a small tear near the right knee and bright orange stitching along the inside seam. I’d worn them all day while running errands from the State Capitol area down to Third Street, and the whole thing has left me anxious about where they ended up. If you found them, I’d be grateful to have them back and to get back to my routine.

Lost sports equipment bag near City Island

I was at the City Island basketball courts in Harrisburg around 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized I’d left my Equipment for Various Sports on the bench. It’s a blue backpack with a white logo, and inside you’ll find shin guards, a cleat bag, a dusty basketball, and a spare tennis racket with a frayed grip. My stomach dropped as I walked the neon-lit path back toward the river, hoping the item hadn’t vanished into the crowd. If someone picked it up, please reach out through the site— I’d be grateful to reunite with my gear.

Lost piece 'Wild and Domestic' in Harrisburg

I lost my sculpture titled 'Wild and Domestic,' a mixed-media piece about wild form and everyday life. It was last seen in Harrisburg at 2:40 PM on Saturday, near City Island and Riverfront Park, close to the State Capitol steps. The work is roughly the size of a basketball, woven with natural fibers and painted in earthy greens and blues. I spent weeks shaping it, and it feels like part of me—an odd blend of wild impulse and familiar home. I keep replaying the moment I realized it wasn’t there, checking benches along Market Street and the riverbank. If you’ve seen it, I’d be grateful for any sighting—returning it would mean more than words.

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.
