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 CDs in Hartford near Bushnell Park

I was leaving the Hartford Public Library on Main Street around 4:15 p.m. last Friday and must have dropped my CDs somewhere near Constitution Plaza, possibly close to Bushnell Park. The case is a plain black jewel case with a blue 'Indie Mix' sticker in my handwriting. I'm anxious because a few of those discs are rare live recordings from local bands and a couple of personal mixes that mean a lot to me. If someone picked them up, please hold onto them for a bit and I’ll come by the library desk to verify ownership.

Lost sheets near Bushnell Park, Hartford

This morning around 8:33 a.m., I realized my set of white sheets was missing from my laundry tote as I walked from my apartment on Farmington Avenue toward Bushnell Park. I must have left them in the hallway of my friend's place on Asylum Avenue yesterday, but I clearly remember packing them for this move. The sheets are plain white with a faint blue stripe along the edge and smell faintly of detergent from last night's wash. If you saw them anywhere near Bushnell Park or Main Street in Hartford, please think back to this morning.

Lost sandals near Bushnell Park, Hartford.

On Friday around 7:45 p.m., I realized my tan leather sandals were gone after I walked from the Riverfront area toward Bushnell Park. I retraced the brick paths along Main Street and checked the steps by the Hartford Public Library, but they were nowhere to be found. The left sandal has a small blue stitch on the strap, and the right one squeaks with every step. I had planned a quick weekend hike and they were my go-to pair, so losing them has left me feeling stranded and a little discouraged.

Lost: Sports equipment in Hartford

On Tuesday at about 6:15 pm I realized my equipment for various sports vanished after practice at Bushnell Park in Hartford. I had left a blue duffel bag on a bench near the carousel; inside were two shin guards, a basketball, and a folded tennis racket. Those pieces are my go-to gear for a few leagues and weekend pick-up games, and losing them left me scrambling and frustrated. If found, they’re worth more than the gear—they represent consistency and a little escape after busy days.

LOST student ID in Hartford, Connecticut

On a chilly Tuesday around 12:45 p.m., I was outside the Hartford Public Library on Main Street after a quick lunch break when I realized my Student ID was lost. I retraced my steps along Market Street and Bushnell Park, even checking the campus bus stop, but I could not find it. Losing that ID means trouble with campus services and a few anxious hours, so I am hoping someone turned it in somewhere along the way. If you found it, please post here so I can claim it through the site.

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.
