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 High Rockies 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 High Rockies in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Passports in the High Rockies, CO

I realized my passports were missing around 7:15 p.m. yesterday after unloading groceries outside the Alpine Market on Main Street in the High Rockies region. I had them in my wallet while I was inside the cafe, and I think I left them on the counter or in the cart. They’re essential for an upcoming trip next week, and I’m anxious about getting them replaced quickly. I’m staying in Leadville and will be around the town square and the library today and tomorrow, hoping someone found them and kept them safe. If you’ve seen them, please keep them safe nearby until I can reclaim them.

LOST: Paintings in the High Rockies

On Saturday around 3:25 pm, I was taking a break at the Turquoise Lake overlook in the High Rockies and left two small paintings resting on a rock while I adjusted my pack. When I looked back, they were gone. The works are framed in simple dark wood: one shows a jagged snow peak above a pine-fringed valley; the other glows with a sunset over a meadow. They’re irreplaceable to me—a gift from my grandfather—and I’m sick with worry each mile I hike without them. I’ve retraced the path and asked a few hikers, but no luck yet. If you’ve seen them, please let the site know so we can bring them home.

Lost Hand Tools in the High Rockies

I spent the afternoon yesterday, around 4:45 p.m., helping a friend fix a dented toolbox behind the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. We were unloading gear on a bench by the visitor center and then took a short walk along Main Street. When we came back, my hand tools were gone—hammer, adjustable wrench, and a well-used pliers. They matter to me for trail fixes and camping setups, and I’m anxious about replacing them before next month’s trip. If someone found them and left them somewhere safe by the Stanley Hotel courtyard, I’d be forever grateful.

CDs lost on Willow Creek Trailhead, High Rockies.

I was out hiking at 2:10 PM on Sunday and realized my CDs weren’t in my backpack anymore after a quick rest at the Willow Creek Trailhead in the High Rockies. The case is a matte black with a slightly warped spine from sun, and the discs range from classic rock to indie. I’m not sure how far they could’ve blown away in the mountain breeze, but I’d love to retrace the patch of ground by the trailhead to find them. If you’ve picked them up or seen them, I’d appreciate them returning through the site so I can get back to the road I love.

lost: Student ID at High Rockies trailhead

I was ready to head home after a quick hike and grabbed a bite at the trailhead cafe near the High Rockies Visitor Center around 7:45 p.m. last Friday. I must’ve left my Student ID on the bench there while I checked my map for the return hike. It’s more than a card—it's my campus access and official ID, and losing it has me worried about class, deadlines, and travel plans. If you found it, thank you for keeping it safe and for returning it through the site so I can sort everything out.

Blue hardcover atlas with mountain photo

I lost my blue hardcover atlas, a National Geographic High Rockies edition, yesterday around 3pm near the High Rockies Public Library on Pine Street, outside the bike racks by the entrance. The cover shows snow-capped peaks and a small red edition sticker; the spine is cracked and the corners are worn from travel. Inside the front cover I pressed a pine needle from a hike and left a yellow sticky note with my initials 'AY' on it; there’s a dog-eared page around 210 and a tiny pencil mark on page 138. This atlas was a gift from my grandmother who loved mountains, and it's irreplaceable for my fieldwork, so I really need it back. If you found it, I’d be grateful to recover it—I'll be at Summit View Cafe or the library front desk in the evenings this week.
