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 photographs in Imperial County, CA

At around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday I realized a stack of old photographs had vanished from my tote after leaving Graciano Café near the Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro. The photos are black and white snapshots of my grandmother at a 1965 county fair in El Centro, and a desert road trip with my siblings. They hold priceless memories and bring back a sense of home I cant replace, and I felt a wave of panic in the cool evening air. If anyone saw them or picked them up by mistake please keep them safe until I can claim them here.

Lost pins near Imperial Valley College

I lost a small set of enamel pins after a walk last Tuesday around 6:50 p.m. near the Imperial Valley College campus in Imperial. There are two pins: one teal compass, the other a tiny sunburst with a gold rim. They're sentimental reminders from a friend, so I'm hoping to be reunited with them as soon as possible. I've retraced the route down Main Street and around the student quad, but the pins haven't turned up yet.

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.
