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 board games near Bronson Park, Kalamazoo

I lost a tote with several board games after a casual game night with friends near Bronson Park in Kalamazoo. It was 6:45 p.m. yesterday, and I had stepped away to talk to a neighbor by the bench near the Kalamazoo Public Library steps. When I turned back, the tote and its contents were gone, and the sunset made the river glow behind the trees. The games are special to us, with some family favorites and a few new releases I bought for the kids, and if anyone saw them around downtown Kalamazoo or near the library steps, please let me know.

Lost Wild and Domestic in Kalamazoo

I lost my copy of Wild and Domestic on Saturday at 6:40 PM, while walking from Bronson Park toward the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts in Kalamazoo. It’s a well-loved paperback with a cracked spine and a bright blue cover—the kind of book I read in a quiet corner of Bronson Park on warm evenings. More than anything, it was a gift from my grandmother, and losing it feels like losing a memory. If you found it somewhere near Bronson Park or along the Arcadia Creek path, please let me know through the site.

LOST: pocket watches near Bronson Park.

I lost my pocket watches this Friday at 10:20 a.m. while strolling downtown Kalamazoo, near Bronson Park. One is a silver hunter-case with a delicate engraving of my grandmother's initials, the other a brass pocket watch with a tiny crack and a faded chain. They’ve been in my family for generations, so the thought of losing them makes my chest tighten with worry and hope. I retraced my steps along West Michigan Avenue and by the band shell, but the morning crowds made it hard to tell where they went.

Lost Train on Kalamazoo Amtrak platform

Last Friday at 6:10 PM, I was waiting for a train at the Kalamazoo Amtrak platform near the south entrance when I realized my small Train model had vanished from my backpack. It's a blue metal engine with a white stripe and a tiny red caboose—the kind a kid would cuddle with on a trip. I retraced my steps along the platform, checked the benches, and even peered under the vending machines, but it didn't show up. If you spot it, please keep an eye out—it's precious to me and tied to a memory. I'm hoping the right person will see this listing and help bring it back.

LOST flutes in Kalamazoo, MI

Last Tuesday at 6:15 p.m., I lost my two silver flutes after a rehearsal at the WMU School of Music. I must have left them on a bench near Bronson Park while I packed up. They mean a lot to me: one belonged to my grandmother, and the other is a newer instrument I saved for college. I retraced the walk from the music building to the park, but they weren't there when I checked again. If someone found them, please keep them safe; they carry too many memories to lose.

Lost puppies near Bronson Park in Kalamazoo.

Yesterday around 5:15 p.m., I lost my two puppies near Bronson Park while walking with my kids along the Kalamazoo Riverfront. They’re small terrier mixes, about eight weeks old, one black with white paws and the other tan with a white chest. We’ve been calling for them every few minutes and the neighborhood has begun to feel big without them. If you’ve seen these little escapes, please know how grateful we’d be to bring them home.
