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 Kalamazoo 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 Kalamazoo in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST Equipment for Various Sports in Kalamazoo

Hey, I’m Priya Kapoor. I lost my equipment for various sports around Bronson Park in Kalamazoo at 8:10 PM on Wednesday. My bag had gear: a basketball, a tennis racket, shin guards, and a water bottle with my initials. I had left it on a bench near the fountain while I grabbed a quick snack, and when I came back it was gone. It would mean a lot to have it returned before weekend practices. If you found a backpack with those items near Bronson Park, please let me know through the site. Thank you for helping me get back to the game.

LOST: Holiday Decorations in Kalamazoo, Michigan

Hi, I’m Emily Carter. I was wrapping up our block’s holiday display and, while juggling a few last-minute decorations, I set down a tote by the Bronson Park gazebo in downtown Kalamazoo around 7:20 PM last Friday. Inside were warm-white string lights, a handful of glass ornaments, and a handmade pinecone wreath. I walked the surrounding path twice and even asked a security guard, but the tote didn’t reappear. I’m really hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe until I can reclaim it for the neighborhood tree-lighting this weekend.

Lost student ID near Waldo Library, Kalamazoo

I realized my student ID was missing around 3:40 p.m. last Friday after a quick study session in the Waldo Library on the WMU campus. I retraced my steps from the lecture hall to the campus cafe, then along the brick paths toward the Kalamazoo Bus Loop, but it was nowhere to be found. The card bears my photo and name, plus a few stickers from clubs I’ve joined. I need it for class attendance checks, printing, and campus access, so it’s been a stressful few days. If it turns up, I’d be grateful to have it returned to me.

Blue JBL Charge 5 speaker with sun sticker

I lost my blue JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth speaker yesterday around 3pm near the Kalamazoo Public Library on West Michigan Avenue. It's a compact, pill-shaped speaker with a bright blue fabric cover and a small dent on the top edge, plus a tiny sun sticker on the left side. It still works, but the battery sometimes dies faster since I dropped it last month, and it has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister. If anyone found it, please get in touch — I really need it back.

Black Coach wallet with red interior

I lost my black Coach wallet yesterday around 5:15pm near Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo. It’s a slim, genuine black leather wallet with a red fabric interior and a small scuff along the bottom edge. Inside there’s my driver’s license, two bank cards, and a tiny photo collage of my daughter; there’s also a coffee stain on the back cover. One unique feature is a little maple-leaf sticker tucked inside the flap, which helps identify it quickly. It means a lot to me—it's a gift from my mom—and I really need to get it back. If anyone finds it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Red Nike sneakers, size 9, lost near Kalamazoo Mall

I’m hoping someone picked up my red Nike Air Max sneakers after I ran a quick errand yesterday around 4:15 pm. They’re size 9, with a red mesh upper, white soles, and a small scuff on the left toe. I was near the Kalamazoo Mall, by the bus stop outside Buffalo Wild Wings on West Michigan Avenue when I dropped them after a jog. They’re sentimental to me and I really need them back for daily runs; the fit helps with rehab and they were a gift from my sister. If found, reach me through the site and I’ll pick them up ASAP. A tiny blue fabric patch on the inside tongue is a unique identifying feature.
