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 Hawaii 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 Hawaii in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Toasters in Hawaii.

I woke up early and started my day in Waikiki. Around 7:30 a.m. today I left two white toasters with a black dial on the counter in our building's shared kitchen on Kalakaua Avenue, just a block from Waikiki Beach. One toaster has a small dent on the left corner; the other shows a coffee-stain finish on the chrome. I must have walked out after breakfast, and now I’m hoping someone picked them up and left them somewhere reachable. It means a lot to have them back, since they’re part of my daily routine and memories of home.

Lost passport in Waikiki, Hawaii

Hello, I’m Leilani Kahele. Yesterday around 6:45 p.m., I realized I’d misplaced my passport while strolling near Kuhio Beach in Waikiki, by the Duke Kahanamoku statue. I’d paused at a bench along Kalakaua Avenue and think I left it there. It’s in a black leather cover with a small Hawaii sticker inside. I’m feeling overwhelmed and anxious, as I’m far from home and this document is essential.

Sunburst koa ukulele with pineapple inlay

I lost my sunburst koa ukulele yesterday around 3pm near the Duke Kahanamoku statue at Kuhio Beach in Waikiki. It's a concert-sized instrument with a satin sunburst koa finish, a pineapple inlay around the soundhole, and a small dent on the lower bout. There’s a tiny pineapple sticker on the back and a blue woven strap with a white wave pattern attached to the strap button by the heel. I learned to play it here, and it means a lot to me—it's been in the family for years and was a gift from my grandmother, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, text me at 808-555-0142 or email [email protected].

Red-sleeved Anker PowerCore 10000 portable charger

I lost my red-sleeved Anker PowerCore 10000 portable charger yesterday around 3pm outside the Duke Kahanamoku statue on Kalakaua Ave in Waikiki. It's a palm-sized black power bank with a bright red silicone sleeve, and there's a small white hibiscus sticker on the sleeve plus a tiny dent on the bottom edge from a fall last week. It still charges fine, but I really need it back to stay connected while I'm here in Hawaii. If you found it, reach out and we can arrange a pickup.

Bright orange 6 feet 2 inches surfboard with blue leash

I lost my bright orange 6 feet 2 inches surfboard yesterday around 3pm near the Duke Kahanamoku statue on Waikiki Beach, along Kalakaua Avenue. It's used but in decent shape, with a small dent near the tail and two blue stickers—one pineapple, one with an 'Aloha' script—centered on the deck. A blue traction pad sits just ahead of the tail and it has a white single fin. This board has sentimental value; I learned to surf on it and I really need it back to keep riding here in Hawaii. If anyone found it, please email [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup near the lifeguard tower by the Waikiki Beach Walk.

Cream tabby with blue collar missing near Waikiki

I'm really worried I lost my cat Suki yesterday evening around 6pm. She's a cream tabby, about 9 pounds, with a distinctive white heart-shaped patch on her chest and a bright blue collar with a tiny silver bell. I last saw her by the Duke's Waikiki on Kalakaua Avenue, just outside the Royal Hawaiian Center, and she slipped out when I was unloading groceries. She's friendly but tends to hide from new people, so please don't chase her if you see her, call or text me instead. If anyone returns her, she has sentimental value and means the world to me today, and I’d be forever grateful to bring her home.
