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 Jackson 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 Jackson in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

lost: several ties in downtown Jackson, MI

Hi, I’m Jamie Ellis. I lost my two favorite ties after a quick stop for coffee outside City Hall on West Michigan Avenue around 5:15 p.m. last Friday. I had them draped over the back of my chair at the outdoor table, and when I stood to leave, they were gone. One is a navy silk with a subtle silver stripe; the other is charcoal wool with a faint herringbone. I’m due for a job interview tomorrow morning, and these ties are my go-to for the suit. I keep replaying the moment: a gust of wind, a hurried step, and suddenly they disappeared. If someone happened to pick them up by mistake, I’d be grateful to have them back; they feel like good luck, too.

Lost photographs in Jackson, MI

LOST: These photographs mean the world to me. I spent this afternoon rifling through a stack of old prints, hoping to salvage a few memories from my grandmother’s wedding trip. I think I left them on a bench near the Michigan Theatre on West Michigan Avenue around 3:30 pm today. The photos include faded black-and-white portraits and a few color snapshots from a summer in the 1990s; they’re irreplaceable to my family. My hands shake a little when I think of the box’s missing contents, and I’ve replayed every moment in my mind since then.

Lost Driver's License near Jackson City Hall, downtown

On Thursday at 6:45 p.m., I realized my driver's license wasn't in my wallet after I stepped out of the Jackson Public Library. I retraced my steps along West Michigan Avenue, past City Hall, and checked the bus stop by the corner, but the card was gone. I feel a mix of anxiety and embarrassment—it's essential for everyday life and my upcoming job appointment. I carry the license everywhere and hate the thought of it ending up in the wrong hands. If someone turned it in or picked it up by mistake, I'm hoping it finds its way back to me through this site.

Lost trading cards near Ella Sharp Park, Jackson

I was leaving Ella Sharp Park after a casual trading meetup around 3:40 PM today when a gust knocked my backpack and spread a binder of trading cards across the bench by the skate area. The binder holds a mix of vintage baseball cards from the '90s and a few rookie cards my grandfather started for me. In the chaos, I grabbed for the binder, but by the time I stood up, it was gone. It isn't just about the cards—it’s a link to family memories, and I’m hoping a good samaritan will recognize it and return it.

Lost DVDs in Jackson

I was wrapping up a movie night at my friend's place on West Michigan Avenue in Jackson around 9:15 PM Friday when I realized my DVDs were gone. The set is a small collection of mystery thrillers with a blue spine and a cracked case. I must have left them on the coffee table and someone could have slipped them into the sofa cushions. Those discs are personal—sentimental copies from my grandmother—and it stings to lose them. If found, I’d be grateful to recover them and bring them back to the apartment on West Michigan Avenue near the Jackson City Market.

Red plaid wool scarf with initials embroidered

I lost my red plaid wool scarf yesterday around 3pm near the Jackson City Library on Maple Avenue. It's a mid-length scarf, red and navy plaid with gray fringe, about 60 inches long. There’s black thread initials 'AJ' embroidered on the bottom corner, and a small coffee stain in the middle from this morning. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it’s really sentimental to me and I could really use it back as the weather turns cooler. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back and can meet near the library steps downtown.
