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 dresses in Janesville, WI

I lost my dresses this past Saturday around 4:15 PM in Janesville, Wisconsin. I’d been browsing the riverfront shops and had a black garment bag slung over my shoulder near the Rock River. A gust of wind knocked it against a bench, and by the time I looked back, the bag was gone into the crowd near the clock tower. The dresses mean a lot to me—the pale pink chiffon and a navy sheath I planned for my sister’s wedding next month. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If you were by the Janesville Mall or the riverwalk by the gazebo around that time, please think back to what you saw.

Lost medication near Riverside Park, Janesville

At 7:42 a.m. today, I was walking the Rock River trail by Riverside Park in Janesville, Wisconsin when I realized my medication bottle had slipped from my tote. The bottle is white with a blue cap and has my name printed on the label. I retraced my steps toward the Janesville Public Library and along the riverfront, but it didn’t turn up. Without it I feel scattered and anxious about keeping up with my daily routine, and I’m really hoping someone nearby picked it up and kept it safe.

Lost gym bags near Janesville YMCA

This morning at 7:05 a.m., I finished up a workout at the Janesville YMCA on Center Avenue and realized my gym bags were missing from the locker area. One bag is black with a red zipper, the other gray with a blue handle—both essentials I carry for practice and classes. I must have left them near the entrance while I was towel-drying off and stretching in the lobby, because I remember passing the reception desk and turning away to grab my water bottle. I’m worried about rain and the contents inside, and I hope someone local picked them up and kept them safe nearby.

Lost holiday decorations in Janesville

Saturday around 10:15 a.m., I was loading decorations into my car near Janesville’s Rotary Gardens when I realized a bin with our holiday décor had vanished from sight. It held garlands, red bows, a few glass ornaments, and a big star topper—the kind of stuff we drag out every December. The area around the gazebo by the Rotary Gardens felt colder without them, and I’ve been replaying the moment in my head since. They’re part of our family’s Christmas rituals, and I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.

Lost CDs in Janesville

Those CDs belong to me and I’m hoping for a quick reunion. Around 7:20 PM yesterday, I realized they were missing after I left the Janesville Public Library on North Main Street. I had them in a black backpack while I grabbed a coffee at Cuppa Joe next door and chatted with a friend; the CDs were in a rainbow-stickered jewel case. I’m upset because a few of these tracks are rare prints from college days, and I’ve been replaying memories all day. If you saw a pile of CDs near the library entrance, or a backpack abandoned nearby, I’d be grateful for their return.

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.
