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 Kansas City 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 Kansas City in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Student ID

I lost my student ID on Tuesday around 6:45 PM near Union Station in Kansas City. The card has my photo and name, and it's essential for class check-ins and library access. I remember heading to the bus stop after a long day and must have dropped it on the plaza outside Union Station's doors. Without it, I can't get into the campus facilities, which makes mornings stressful. Losing something with my face on it feels personal and frustrating, but I stay hopeful that it will turn up with the right person.

Lost sheet music in Crossroads Arts District

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson, a pianist studying in Kansas City. I had my sheet music for a recital in the Crossroads Arts District around 2:15 p.m. yesterday, tucked into a black binder in my backpack. I stopped for a quick coffee at a shop on 19th Street, and when I stepped back outside, a gust blew the binder shut, and the pages got lost. I retraced my steps along the brick storefronts, by J. Rieger & Co. and the fountain, but I couldn’t locate them. These are irreplaceable practice copies with notes I’ll need for the performance.

Lost contact lens case with two lenses

I lost my contact lens case and two lenses yesterday around 3pm near the City Market at 5th Street and Delaware in Kansas City, MO. The case is white with a blue lid, and there's a tiny red sticker with the initials 'SD' on the lid. One lens has a small scratch along the edge, the other lens is clear and undamaged. I really need them back — these are daily lenses I rely on every day, and replacing them locally isn't easy. If someone found them, I'd be grateful for a return; I can meet up near the market or coordinate a quick pickup through the app.

Cobalt ceramic sculpture, signed

I was helping out at a tiny weekend pop-up in the Crossroads when I realized my cobalt ceramic sculpture went missing yesterday around 3pm. It was on a pedestal inside a gallery space on 18th Street near Grand Boulevard in Kansas City. The piece is small, about 6 inches tall, with a glossy cobalt glaze, white speckles, and a delicate copper-leaf accent circling the base. It’s signed LC on the bottom by local ceramicist Lena Cho. It holds real sentimental value for me—it was part of a personal show, and I’m really hoping to get it back soon.

Dwarf hamster with white patch, blue cage

I lost my dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm. He's a small, grey-brown guy with a distinct white patch on his forehead and a tiny black dot on his left paw. He was in a light-blue plastic cage with a yellow exercise wheel, and I think he squeezed out when I was unloading groceries at the City Market, near the Main Street entrance and the KC Streetcar stop at 4th & Main. He's the size of a tennis ball and zooms around whenever he gets excited; his fur is silky and soft. This little guy means the world to me—he's been a comfort through a tough month, and I’d be incredibly grateful to get him back.
