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 Hartford 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 Hartford in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sheet music near Bushnell Park, Hartford

I lost my sheet music for a violin piece yesterday around 5:45 p.m. near Bushnell Park in Hartford. I had been practicing near the bandstand by the carousel, and my yellow folder with my name on the cover must have slipped from my grip when the breeze picked up. The pages inside are a little bent, with pencil marks and a coffee ring on the corner. Losing them felt like losing a piece of a performance I was counting on for this weekend.

Black Wayfarer glasses with red temple tips

I was out yesterday around 3pm near the Hartford Public Library on Main Street, helping a friend take photos near the Bushnell Park carousel when I realized my glasses were gone. They're black Wayfarer-style frames from Ray-Ban, with a glossy finish, a tiny scratch on the left lens, and bright red temple tips that make them easy to spot. The inside of the right temple is engraved with the initials 'P.P.' and they come in a worn black faux-leather case with a faded Ray-Ban logo. Losing them is a real hassle— they're prescription and I really need to get them back. If someone found them, please let me know; I can meet near the library or the Main Street post office to pick them up.

JBL Flip 4 speaker with blue fox sticker

I lost my JBL Flip 4 speaker yesterday around 3pm outside the Hartford Public Library on Main Street. It's a compact black Bluetooth speaker, about the size of a soda can, with a little dent on the bottom edge from a fall last week. It has a small blue fox sticker on the silicone case and a scratch along the top rim. It was a gift from my sister for college and means a lot to me because I rely on it for rides home and study sessions. If anyone found it, please let me know—I'm really hoping to get it back; I use it every day and it helps me stay focused.

Beige Hartford Pocket Atlas with red bookmark

I lost my beige Hartford Pocket Atlas this afternoon. It's a small paperback, about 5 by 7 inches, with a red ribbon bookmark sticking out a bit. There’s a coffee stain on the back cover and a light crease along the spine from walking too many hills around town. I last had it near the Hartford Public Library on Main Street, right outside the coffee cart near the entrance; I was jotting down routes for a weekend trip. It’s sentimental because it was a gift from my grandmother who loved maps, and I really need it back for the research I’m doing this week.

Black leather Tumi briefcase with HB monogram

I lost my black leather Tumi briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Hartford Public Library on Main Street. It's a 15-inch briefcase from the Alpha line, with an HB monogram embossed on the front corner and a small scratch along the bottom edge. Inside, there's a navy organizer with pen slots and a red microfiber lining that peeks out when I open it. The zipper pull is silver and the detachable shoulder strap has a slightly worn buckle. This bag holds important work documents and a faded family photo—it's sentimental and I really need it back. If you found it, please drop a note here so we can arrange a pickup.

Gray North Face backpack with red logo

I lost my gray North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Dunkin' on Trumbull Street in Hartford. It's a standard-size backpack with a bright red logo on the front and a small panda sticker I bought on a trip a couple of years ago. The zipper pulls are orange and a bit worn, and there's a torn water-bottle pocket on the side. Inside are a red-spined notebook, my college ID, and a faded photo of my family—things I really need back because the bag also has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please get in touch; I was really worried when it disappeared and I'd be so grateful to have it back.
