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

Lost Trading Cards in Imperial County, California

I was sorting through my binder in the Imperial Valley Mall parking lot near West Heber Road around 4:20 p.m. Saturday when a gust of wind flipped the pages and scattered the trading cards all over the concrete. They're a mixed lot from several classic sets, with a few rare foils that survived my last show. I'm anxious because some of these are sentimental keepsakes from childhood and a couple are near-impossible to replace. If anyone found them, please know they're cherished; I'd be incredibly grateful to have them back.

Lost: Student ID near Imperial Valley Mall.

I lost my student ID around 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday near the fountain at Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, Imperial County. It’s a slim card with my photo and a campus sticker—something I need every day for class and buses. I must have set it down while I was grabbing a snack at the food court, and I didn’t notice until I reached the bus stop. My stomach dropped; I’ve got a big week of finals coming up and I can’t afford to be without it. If someone turned it in somewhere here on the site, please let me know.

Lost travel adapters in Imperial County

I was at the Imperial Valley Mall around 6:30 pm yesterday, walking between the food court and the benches near the cinema when I realized my travel adapters were missing from the small gray pouch. The two adapters are universal plugs, one with a blue stripe and the other with a plain black cap. They were essential for charging my phone and GPS as I drive through the desert toward the coast, and I am anxious about the rest of my trip without them. If anyone picked them up, I would be grateful to have them back.

Teal ceramic desert owl sculpture with gold speckles

I lost my teal ceramic desert owl sculpture this afternoon around 2:45 pm. It's about 6 inches tall, teal glaze with tiny gold speckles, and it has a hand-painted desert scene along the belly. The base is signed 'M. Chen' and there's a tiny chip on the left wing, plus a faint crack along the back. I last saw it near the fountain by the Imperial Valley Mall on Main Street in El Centro, then I stopped at a coffee shop inside the mall for a few minutes. This piece was a gift from my grandmother and it's really sentimental to me; I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Bearded dragon missing in Imperial County

I lost my bearded dragon yesterday around 3pm near the Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, behind the food court. It's roughly 10 inches long from nose to tail, sandy tan with darker cross-bands along the back. It has a tiny white patch on its throat and a microchip with ID 45219. This little guy was a gift from my daughter and means a lot to us, so I’m really hoping someone found him and kept him safe.

Red Le Creuset Dutch oven with lid

I lost my red Le Creuset 4-quart enamel cast-iron dutch oven yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Imperial Avenue in El Centro. The pot is vibrant red with a black interior; there’s a tiny chip on the rim and the lid knob has a hairline crack. Inside the lid, there’s a faded note with my initials 'P.P.' that I tucked away years ago. It’s sentimental; it was a wedding gift from my grandmother and I reach for it when I cook comfort meals for my family. If found, please contact me—I’d be really grateful to have it back to keep making memories.
