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 Ithaca 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 Ithaca in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost radios near Ithaca Commons area today.

I’m Daniel Rivera. At 2:15 p.m. on Saturday I realized my two handheld radios were missing from my backpack while I was taking a break near the Ithaca Commons. I’d just chatted with a vendor by the Ithaca Farmers Market stand and set them down on a bench near the trolley sculpture. I retraced my steps along the pedestrian street, checked the bus stop near DeWitt Park, and asked a few passersby, but I didn’t find them. They’re essential for coordinating a volunteer event, and I’d be grateful for any information through the site.

Lost holiday decorations in Ithaca

I realized my holiday decorations went missing after a small get-together at my apartment on Court Street around 6:15 PM last Sunday. I had set out garlands and a box of ornaments on the dining room table, and I must have left them there when I tidied up. They mean a lot to me because some pieces were family heirlooms, and I’m really hoping they turn up. If you saw a collection of bright red and gold ornaments around Court Street, please think of me.

Lost sheet music near Ithaca Commons.

Last Friday around 9:15 PM, I realized my sheet music was lost from my tote as I sat on a bench in Ithaca Commons, just outside the State Theatre. It is a stack of clean, crinkled pages, Bach on top, then my own composition, with a coffee ring near the corner. I had rehearsal early the next morning at the School of Music, and that music meant more to me than a few notes. If anyone picked it up, please let the site know I am hoping it can be returned to its proper page.

Blue insulin cooler bag with glucose meter

I lost my blue insulin cooler bag yesterday around 7pm outside the Ithaca Commons, near the GreenStar Market on State Street. It's small, about the size of a lunch tote, made of blue nylon with a white zipper, and there's a bright red heart sticker on the front. Inside I had a glucose meter and a few test strips; it's essential for managing my diabetes. The bag also has a coffee stain on the bottom-right corner. It was a gift from my sister, so it's sentimental and I really need it back—please let me know if you found it.

Blue glucose meter with case, lost near Ithaca Commons

Hey there, I lost my blue OneTouch Verio Flex glucose meter with a white protective case yesterday around 3pm. It's a compact device about the size of a deck of cards, navy blue body with a tiny crack along the top edge and a black silicone sleeve. There's a small green heart sticker on the back with the name 'Sam' written in black marker. It was last seen outside the Ithaca Commons by State Street, near the entrance to the Tasting Room, after I stopped for coffee. I rely on this meter every day to manage my blood sugar, and it feels essential - I'd be grateful to get it back as soon as possible.
