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 Janesville 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 Janesville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: pair of toasters in Janesville

I lost my two toasters last Tuesday around 7:20 p.m. I realized they were gone while I stood in the kitchen of my apartment on North Parker Street, just off Riverside Place by the Rotary Botanical Gardens. I’d left them on the counter while I hurried to bring in groceries, and when I came back they were gone. They’re a humble pair—silver with black knobs, nothing fancy—and I used them every day for quick breakfasts. They were a small, practical link to my mom, who taught me to bake toast, and I’m heartbroken to think they might be far from home.

Gray North Face parka with detachable fur hood

I was walking home from the library yesterday afternoon around 3pm and think I lost my gray North Face parka near the coffee shop on Center Street in Janesville. It's a women's size large, dark gray with a detachable faux-fur hood, and there's a small compass pin stitched to the inner left pocket. The zipper on the coat is a bit sticky but otherwise it's in good condition. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back. If you found it, drop me a note here so we can figure out a time to meet up and get it back; I’m really worried about it.

Dark brown leather briefcase with initials JR

I lost my dark brown leather briefcase yesterday around 3pm near the Janesville Public Library on Main Street. It's a mid-size case, about 16 inches wide, with scuffed corners and a brass nameplate on the front that reads 'J.R.' Inside there's red lining, a small zipper pocket, and a faded blue notebook plus my laptop charger. The zipper pull has a tiny dent, and there's a luggage tag inside with 'JR' written in marker. This briefcase holds important work documents and was a gift from my mentor—I'm really hoping someone found it and can return it.

Black Fossil watch with blue dial and red second hand

I lost my black Fossil watch yesterday around 3pm while I was at the Junction Market on Center Avenue in Janesville. The watch has a blue dial, a red second hand, and a slightly scratched stainless steel bezel; the strap is black genuine leather with a few creases from daily wear. The 40mm case is engraved with the initials 'AP' on the back. It’s been a daily staple for years and was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; it has sentimental value and I’ve been worried since yesterday.

Blue Ray-Ban round glasses with tortoiseshell temples

I lost my blue Ray-Ban round glasses yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Main Street in Janesville. They’re blue metal frames with tortoiseshell-patterned temples, round lenses, and adjustable nose pads. There’s a tiny scratch on the left lens and a small red dot sticker I put on the inside of the right temple for grip. They were a gift from my grandmother, so they’ve got real sentimental value and I’m really hoping they turn up. If you found them, email me at [email protected] and we can sort out getting them back.

Elena Martinez, 28, red jacket missing

I lost my sister Elena Martinez yesterday around 3:15pm in Janesville. She was wearing a forest-green parka, a bright red scarf, and blue jeans, and she wears a silver moon pendant. She has a small bird tattoo on her right inner forearm. The last sighting was near Riverside Park, at the corner of Center Ave and Main St, heading toward the public library. I'm really worried—she has asthma and needs her inhaler, and she might be disoriented alone. If you spot her, please message me here on the site so I can coordinate a safe reunion. Any info helps; I just want her home.
