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 Houston 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 Houston in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost parrots near Memorial Park, Houston

I lost my two parrots, Mango and Pico, last Friday around 7:15 p.m. I last saw them near Memorial Park's jogging trail by the water fountain. They’re bright green with orange faces and love mimicking car horns and city sounds. My heart aches thinking about the quiet apartment and the empty perch at home. I’ve walked the Montrose streets all evening, calling their names and listening for a flutter among the oaks and pines along the bayou. If you see two parrots anywhere near Memorial Park, please watch the trees and call out gently; I’m hoping they just wandered briefly and will find their way back.

Lost gym bags outside a Houston gym.

Hi, I’m Diego Ramirez. I lost my gym bag around 3:15 p.m. Saturday outside the gym on Main Street near Discovery Green in Houston, Texas. It’s a black duffel with a red towel sticking out, plus my headphones and a spare change of clothes. Those items are a small lifeline after long days, and the bag is easy to spot because of the bright zipper and a sticker of a comic hero. I had just finished a workout and was heading toward the exit when I realized the bag wasn’t with me. I scanned the sidewalk by the glass doors and the chalk-marked wall, but it’s gone. If you found it, I’d really appreciate its return through the site.

Lost microwaves in Houston, TX

Last Tuesday around 8:15 p.m., I was unloading two microwaves into my apartment on Westheimer Road, near Kirby Drive, in Houston's Montrose area. They were sitting on the kitchen counter when I turned to grab a bag, and in a heartbeat they vanished. I’ve checked the building's hallways, the leasing office, and walked the nearby blocks—Westheimer, Montrose Boulevard, and the parking garages—with no sign. I’m wiped after long shifts, and I rely on those appliances for meals and for meds that require heating. If you’ve seen them, please report through the site so I can reclaim them.

Lost rabbits near Hermann Park, Houston.

I lost my two rabbits last Friday around 8:15 PM after the apartment door was left open and they slipped into the alley behind my building near Hermann Park. They are small, brown and gray with white patches; one wears a blue collar with a tiny bell. I am terrified they are scared and hungry, and I am praying they come back safe. If you see them, please keep an eye out in the nearby alleys and yards.

LOST coins from grandfather near Discovery Green

Hi, I am Marcus Bennett. I was downtown Houston around 12:15 PM on Tuesday, strolling near the Discovery Green fountain with a tin of coins my grandfather collected. I set the tin down briefly while grabbing a snack, and when I looked back it was gone from my pocket. The coins span roughly from the 1920s to the 1960s and include a few Texas-minted pieces. Those coins carry family memories, and I am shaken by the loss. If found, they belong with our family keepsake box near the park’s edge.

Lost: CDs near Market Square Park, downtown Houston

Friday around 7:00 p.m., I realized my CDs were missing after I left a cafe on Westheimer Road near Market Square Park. I retraced my steps through the area and checked Market Square Park, but the case didn’t turn up. The binder holds about twenty discs, mostly indie and classic rock, kept in a tan leather sleeve with a few scratches and some faded stickers. They’re special to me because several were gifts and some came from early Houston shows. If you’ve seen them, please let me know through the site so I can arrange a pickup.
