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 Indianapolis 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 Indianapolis in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Radios in downtown Indianapolis near Monument Circle

Hi, I'm Liam Carter. This morning at 8:10 am I was walking through the City Market District near Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis when I dropped two small portable radios from my backpack. They're not fancy, but they matter to my weekend radio club outings. I retraced my steps along Market Street for nearly thirty minutes, but the radios were gone. It's a bit frustrating to misplace something that helps me stay connected. If you found them, please drop a note through the site so we can arrange a meetup. Thank you.

Lost photographs from my Indianapolis trip

I lost a set of photographs from my road trip. On Friday night around 6:45 p.m., I realized they were missing from a brown leather album I carry in my tote. I was near Monument Circle, just outside Circle Centre Mall, and I remember fanning through them for a cousin minutes earlier. These photos mean the world to me—they’re snapshots from family gatherings and a late summer visit to Fountain Square that capture a memory I can’t replace. If you saw them or picked them up by mistake, I’d be grateful to have them back in the album where they belong.

OP-1 portable synthesizer lost near Circle Centre, Indy

I'm hoping someone found my OP-1 portable synthesizer. It’s a white body with orange trim, about the size of a small lunchbox, and there’s a blue sticker on the back that says "Indy Crew." There’s a tiny dent on the bottom-right corner and it lives in a slightly worn red leather case. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm outside Circle Centre Mall on Washington Street, near the fountain by the entrance. This thing isn’t just gear—it's a gift from my late mentor and honestly one of my most relied-on songwriting tools. If anyone picked it up, please DM me. I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Red Coach crossbody with panda zipper charm

Yesterday around 3:15pm I lost my red Coach crossbody handbag near Circle Centre Mall on Washington Street in Indianapolis. It's a compact pebble leather bag, about 9 inches wide with an adjustable strap and gold-tone hardware. The teal lining peeks out when you unzip the top, and there's a tiny panda charm on the zipper pull. Inside I kept a photo of my family and my work badge, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be beyond grateful to get it back.

Beagle mix, brown/white, lost near Monument Circle

I lost my beagle mix around 3pm yesterday near Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis. He's medium-sized, about 30 pounds, brown and white with a white blaze on his chest, and floppy ears. He wears a blue collar with a silver bone-shaped tag that says 'Milo' on the back. There's a tiny scar behind his left ear from a playful tumble last week, which should help identify him. He usually comes when I call, but the area around the circle can be loud and scary, and he's skittish. This dog has sentimental value to me and my kids—I'm really hoping to get him back safe.
