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 Humboldt County 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 Humboldt County in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sheet music after rehearsal, Arcata Plaza at 7:15 PM

I was finishing a quick practice at a small studio near Arcata Plaza around 7:15 PM on Tuesday, and I must have left my sheet music on the bench. I realized it was missing once I got home to Eureka and realized I couldn't find the pieces I need for Saturday's recital. The music is in a green binder with a few pencil markings from last Friday's run-through. If you found it near the Arcata Plaza fountain after sunset, please let me know — losing it feels like losing a part of myself and my chance to perform.

Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED near Arcata Plaza in Arcata, Humboldt County, after I stopped by the Arcata Transit Center. It’s in a light gray carrying case with neon blue and red Joy-Cons; the screen protector is peeling a bit at the bottom, and there’s a small crack on the edge. A distinctive feature is an orange silicone grip on the left Joy-Con and a tiny whale sticker on the back of the dock. It’s been a rough day—this device is how I unwind after long shifts, so I’d really appreciate finding it.

Blue US passport with gold seal

I lost my blue US passport yesterday around 3pm. It slipped out of my tote while I was grabbing a coffee outside the Humboldt County Courthouse on 5th Street in Eureka, near Old Town. The cover is navy blue with the gold seal; inside you will see my photo page and some Canadian visa stamps, just to know it is mine. There's a coffee ring on the bottom corner of the cover and a tiny crease along the back. This passport is essential for upcoming travel, and I would be grateful to get it back.

Meinl Cajón in natural wood, sentimental, lost.

Yesterday around 3pm I was busking near Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County when my Meinl Cajón in natural wood vanished from my setup. It's about 12 inches tall with a few scratches on the front panel and a small dent on the lower left corner. The back panel has a tiny blue palm-tree sticker and the leather strap is frayed. It was a gift from my dad, and it means a lot to me; I used it for gigs and practice, and I really need to get it back. If you found it, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Black Zoom H4n Pro recorder with pine-tree sticker

I lost my Black Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder yesterday around 3pm near the Humboldt State University Library on Harpst Street. It's black, with a red windscreen on the built-in mic, and it lives in a black Pelican-case with a dent on the corner. On the bottom, there’s a small pine-tree sticker I stuck there last year, and I also tucked a blue microfiber cleaning cloth inside the case. This recorder is my primary tool for field interviews and recordings for a project, so I’m really hoping to get it back; any lead would be hugely appreciated. If you find it, please text me or email me—thank you.

Missing man: tall, orange hoodie, blue backpack, Humboldt County

I'm Priya Patel, posting for my friend Diego Marin, a 28-year-old man about 6'2" with a lean build. He has short black hair, a light beard, and a small compass tattoo on his left forearm, plus a faint scar above his left eyebrow. He was last seen yesterday around 3pm wearing an orange hoodie and dark jeans, carrying a bright blue backpack with a yellow stripe. We were in Old Town Eureka near the Humboldt County Courthouse on Fourth Street, then he headed toward the Boardwalk along the waterfront and never came back. I'm really worried because he needs his meds and there are important documents in that backpack. If you see him, you can reach me at [email protected].
