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 Helena 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 Helena in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost drones near the State Capitol, Helena

Lost on Sunday around 5:15 PM near the Montana State Capitol, my two drones vanished while I was filming sunset over Helena. They’re a black DJI drone and a smaller silver one with a red camera, both with weathered skins and a few stickers. I had stopped to adjust settings in a spot behind the Capitol building when I looked up and realized they were gone. They’re essential for a freelance project I’m trying to finish before winter, so I’d be grateful to anyone who finds them. They’re likely still in the area, waiting to be picked up by their owner.

Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons

I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED yesterday around 3pm near the Capitol Building steps on 4th Ave in Helena, close to Last Chance Gulch. It's in a white protective case with a dragon sticker on the back, inside a blue silicone sleeve. The screen has a tiny scratch on the bottom-right corner, and the neon red/blue Joy-Cons stand out. This device is sentimental to me because it was a gift from my sister and we played it most weekends after practice—really hoping someone who picked it up can help get it back. If you found it, the listed email will be enough to reach out and arrange a safe meetup downtown Helena.

Black Bluetooth speaker with red fabric strap

I lost my black Anker Bluetooth speaker yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Last Chance Gulch in Helena. It's a compact matte-black speaker about the size of a soda can, with a small dent on the top edge and a red fabric strap with a tiny brass ring I use to hook it to my backpack. There's a faint scratch on the back panel and the battery indicator glows blue when it's charging. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my sister, and I really need it back for daily calls and small gigs. If you found it, I'll come pick it up and buy you a coffee.

Brown leather briefcase with brass hardware, initials P.P.

I lost my brown leather Samsonite briefcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Lewis & Clark Library on Last Chance Gulch in Helena. It's a mid-size, slightly worn bag with brass zippers and a small scuff on the bottom corner. Inside there’s my laptop charger, a stack of client folders, and a little handwritten note from my grandmother tucked in the inner pocket—means a lot to me. A blue Post-it on the inside lid has my initials 'P.P.' in blue ink, and the handle has a tiny repair with pink thread that I purposely did not fix yet. Please, if you found it, contact me ASAP. It contains work documents and a sentimental keepsake; I’d be so grateful to get it back.
