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: 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.

Blue Penguin Classics Gatsby hardcover

I lost my blue Penguin Classics hardcover edition of The Great Gatsby yesterday around 3pm. It’s a compact blue cloth-bound book, about 7 by 4.5 inches, with gilt lettering on the spine and a tiny coffee stain on the back cover. Inside, there’s my handwriting on the inside front page, the name 'Priya Patel' and a small crescent-moon doodle in the corner, plus a yellow bookmark sticking out. This book was a gift from my grandfather, so it means a lot to me and I really need it back. Last I had it, I was sitting near the Broad Street Market entrance on Market Street in Harrisburg when the wind shuffled the papers and it slipped away. If someone happened to pick it up, please email me at [email protected].

Orange tabby cat with blue collar near Broad Street Market

I lost my orange tabby cat yesterday around 3pm near the Broad Street Market on Market Street in Harrisburg. He wears a blue collar with a tiny silver bell and has a small white patch on his chest. He’s a bit skittish at first but will come closer if you call him by name—our neighbors know him as Milo. I’m worried he wandered toward Riverfront Park or the parking garage behind the Market, since he tends to chase pigeons and slip into shady gaps. If you spot him, text me on the app—I miss him a lot.

Black leather briefcase with red tag

I lost my black leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Harrisburg Transportation Center on 2nd Street. It's medium size, with a brass clasp that's a bit bent and a torn edge along the bottom where the leather wore thin. The handle has a small scuff, and there’s a red luggage tag with my initials 'K.L.' dangling from it. Inside was my laptop charger, a blue notebook, and a family photo tucked in the pocket, which makes this really personal and hard to replace—I'm hoping someone picked it up and will return it.
