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 Hudson Valley 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 Hudson Valley in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Xylophones in Hudson Valley

Yesterday around 5:15 p.m., I was leading a children's music workshop in a Beacon community hall when my xylophones disappeared from a side room. They’re two wooden xylophones in a lime-green carrying case, with a bright yellow mallet sticking out and a small dent on the larger one. They matter a lot to the kids and to me; I can’t imagine how the rehearsal will go without them. I’ve retraced from the Beacon Train Station to Main Street and back, but I haven’t found them yet.

LOST: Action Figures near Walkway Over the Hudson

Hi, I’m Ava. I realized around 6:10 PM yesterday that my action figures were missing after I paused for a quick photo along the Walkway Over the Hudson on the Poughkeepsie side. It’s a small crew—Spider-Man, Black Panther, and a blue Batman—plus a few tiny accessories—that’s been with me since childhood. They’re more than toys; they’re reminders of the countless afternoons I spent imagining adventures with my dad. I’ve been carrying them through the Hudson Valley since. If someone found them near the main entrance and tucked them away somewhere safe, I’d be forever grateful to have them back in my hands.

Lost synthesizers in Beacon, Hudson Valley

Last Saturday around 9:15 p.m., I was wrapping up a jam session at a friend's studio on Main Street in Beacon when I realized my synthesizers weren’t there anymore. I had them set on a chair by the window facing the Walkway Over the Hudson. They’re in a black flight case with a gray modular and a blue patch cable snaking out; one sticker reads Bear Mountain if you know it. The room smelled like solder and coffee, the kind of night that makes you chase a sound you can’t bear to lose. I have a gig next weekend and I need those synths back. If you found them, please message me on the site so we can arrange pickup near the river.

Lost pins along the Hudson

I was walking the Walkway Over the Hudson on the Poughkeepsie side around 4:20 PM today when a handful of enamel pins slipped from my tote and clattered onto the concrete. They’re bright blue with gold trim, a tiny collection from a local artist I’ve worn every day since last spring. I retraced my steps past the railing and near a small food cart, but the pins weren’t there anymore. I’m really hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe, because they mean a lot to me.

Lost: My radios

On Friday around 2:30 PM at the Walkway Over the Hudson in Highland, I must have set my bag down for a moment and the radios disappeared. The two radios, a compact handheld unit and a vintage silver model, were tucked in a worn leather case that belonged to my grandfather. They’re not just gadgets to me; they carry memories of family projects and a long-ago road trip. I’ve retraced the path along the river and asked a few walkers if they saw anything, hoping someone kept them safe until I could get them back.

Grey canvas tote bag with tan leather handles

I lost my grey canvas tote bag yesterday around 3pm. It's a medium-sized Madewell tote with a tan leather handle and brass zipper. I was walking along Main Street near the Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie when I realized it wasn't by my side and turned back—but it was gone. Inside are a spiral notebook, a blue reusable water bottle, and a coffee-stained scarf, plus a white label with my initials 'A.K.' on the inside pocket. The bag is worn but it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my mom, and I really need it back for work documents; if anyone found it, please message me.
