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 Harrisonburg 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 Harrisonburg in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost bus tickets near Court Square, Harrisonburg

Today around 4:45 PM, I stood on Main Street in Harrisonburg, just outside Court Square, trying to catch the bus home. I had a small stack of bus tickets tucked into a blue envelope with my name on it. I must have set it down while I ducked into a coffee shop to stretch my legs. When I stepped back out, the envelope and tickets were gone. Those tickets are everything to me right now; they're my link back to family and a place I need to be. I’m clinging to hope that someone picked them up and will return them to the lost-and-found.

Lost power tools near Court Square, Harrisonburg

At 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, I realized I had lost my power tools in the shed behind my apartment on South Main Street. The rain had started and Court Square was slick under the streetlights, and I remember turning back toward the shed and seeing only the empty pegboard where my drill and circular saw used to hang. The tools are a red Dewalt drill, a black framing hammer, and a weathered tool bag I’ve had since college. I’ve spent weekends remodeling the porch, and each tool has a memory tied to it. If anyone saw a tool bag unattended near Court Square around dusk, please let me know through the site.

Terrariums missing from Court Square, Harrisonburg

I’m Grace Turner. I lost a pair of terrariums in Harrisonburg, Virginia. This morning, around 11:15 a.m., I was at Court Square after a short workshop at James Madison University and set the glass planters on a bench by the Court Square Visitor Center to snap a photo. A couple of cyclists rode by and a breeze kicked up; when I turned back, they were gone. One terrarium is a squat bottle with a tiny fern and moss; the other a larger cylinder housing a bright blue air plant and a few river stones. They’re simple, but they carry memories of my grandma’s greenhouse and a quiet morning class. I hope someone honest picked them up and can return them through the site.

Lost postcards I collected during a Harrisonburg trip.

Last night around 3:15 PM, I was sorting through postcards from our trip to Harrisonburg when I realized a few were missing from my tote. I had left the tote on a bench near Court Square while I grabbed a quick coffee and snapped a photo of the courthouse. When I returned, the postcards were gone and I felt a real sting of loss—their images capture our family day together. This morning at 7:40 AM I walked the block along North Main Street again, checking the benches, the gift shop stool outside, and the little fountain area. If someone found them, please know how special they are to me and return them to the site.

LOST equipment near Court Square fountain

Last Friday after our late practice I realized my bag with sports gear was missing. I left it on the bench by the fountain at Court Square, downtown Harrisonburg, around 7:20 pm. Inside were soccer cleats, shin guards, a basketball, and a water bottle with my initials. It's not fancy gear, but it keeps our weekend pickup games going, and the cleats were handed down from my older brother. I’ve retraced my steps through City Park and along Court Street, but the bag never turned up. I keep hoping someone who was there on the plaza that evening might remember the bag and kept it somewhere safe.
