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 Hattiesburg 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 Hattiesburg in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost desk organizers near Cook Library.

I’m Emma Bennett. I was rushing to pull together notes for an 8 a.m. class when I stopped outside Cook Library on the University of Southern Mississippi campus around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday and realized my desk organizers were missing from my tote. They’re two small, gray plastic trays with a couple of labeled compartments, plus a zippered pouch that held highlighters, a USB drive with recent notes, and a stray sticky note with a doodle of a coffee cup. Losing them felt personal, like I’d misplaced a part of my study routine right before finals. I remember the library steps glowing under the streetlight and the hum of the campus quad, and then they were gone. If you saw them, I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost document holders near USM campus

I am Cameron Reed. I lost my document holders yesterday afternoon around 4:30 PM near the USM campus in Hattiesburg. I was walking from the library toward the student union when a gust of wind snatched the sleeves from my bag and carried them into the crowd. Inside are my important IDs and a few receipts I will need for tomorrow's appointment, so I am anxious to have them back. If you found them, I would be grateful for their return near the campus entrance.

Lost CDs in Hattiesburg, MS

I lost my CDs last night around 7:15 PM after studying at the University of Southern Mississippi campus. I had them in a black wallet tucked into my backpack, a mixed batch of classic rock and indie with a few scratched cases. I think I left them somewhere in the USM library courtyard, near the glass doors that overlook the quad, on my way to the campus coffee shop. I’ve retraced my steps and asked the front desk, but nothing turned up yet. It’s frustrating because those discs carry memories of recent road trips and late study sessions.

Lost memory cards on USM campus

I was wrapping up a quick photo shoot on Hardy Street and ducked into the USM campus library courtyard for a coffee. At about 2:45 p.m. last Friday, I must have left my memory cards in a small black pouch on a bench near the Coleman Library on the USM campus. When I returned ten minutes later, the pouch was gone and the area was buzzing with students and chatter. Those cards hold hours of footage and personal shoots, and I would be grateful to have them back.

Hand-painted blue ceramic vase with gold specks

Category: Art & Decorative Items, Location: Hattiesburg. I lost my hand-painted blue ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm near the Saenger Theatre on Main Street in downtown Hattiesburg. It’s about 12 inches tall, cobalt blue glaze with tiny gold speckles and a small leaf motif around the rim. There’s a tiny glaze crack along the rim and a faint maker’s mark on the bottom that looks like an interlocking AM. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me—really hoping to get it back. If you found it, please message me—I'm offering a small reward and a heartfelt thanks.

Blue ticket stub for USM campus concert

Yesterday around 3pm I realized I’d lost my blue ticket stub for a USM campus concert. It’s a 2.5 x 4 inch blue paper ticket with a perforated edge and a tiny holographic star near the bottom; there’s also a coffee stain along the left edge. I think I dropped it outside the USM campus bookstore on Hardy Street in Hattiesburg while I was grabbing a snack. The barcode is still readable, but the ticket itself felt sentimental because it was a gift from my sister, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, please message me so I can pick it up soon.
