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 La Crosse 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 La Crosse in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost scarf near Riverside Park, La Crosse, WI.

I'm Mia Carter. I lost a soft gray wool scarf with a navy fringe. I last had it around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, walking the Mississippi River path by Riverside Park, near the 4th Street/Main Street entrance. The scarf was tucked into my coat, and I didn't notice it was missing until I reached the overlook. It was a gift from my grandmother, and I've worn it every chilly evening since fall; losing it feels like losing a piece of her. Please keep an eye out near the benches along the riverbank; I'd be grateful to recover it through the site.

Lost CDs in La Crosse.

I realized my CDs were missing after a quick break at Riverside Park in La Crosse around 4:15 p.m. last Tuesday. I left them on the bench near the boat launch while I checked a map, and when I looked back the space was empty. These discs mean a lot to me; they are a small collection from college days and a few mixtapes that survived the road. If someone picked them up near Market Street along the riverfront, I hope they are still nearby.

lost holiday decorations near Riverside Park, La Crosse

I lost the last of the holiday decorations around 7:15 PM last Friday, heading toward Riverside Park near the carousel when a gust whipped the box from my grip. It’s a red cardboard box with gold lettering, and inside are heirloom ornaments from family trips to La Crosse. I retraced the brick path by the parking area and checked the hedges near the restrooms, but the box wasn’t there. Those decorations are tied to memories of winters at home, and losing them feels like losing a piece of my family. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to hear.

Gray tabby cat with orange patches, missing

I lost my gray tabby Milo, a medium-sized cat with orange patches and white paws. He was last seen yesterday around 3pm near the Pump House Regional Arts Center on Main Street in La Crosse. Milo wears a light blue collar with a small silver bell and has a tiny notch in his left ear—easy to spot if you see him. He’s shy around strangers but loves warm laps, and this cat has sentimental value to me; he’s been part of the family for five years, and I’m really hoping he comes home soon.

Pearl 14x5 snare drum with blue tape

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my Pearl 14x5 snare drum was missing, probably around Riverside Park's band shell on 4th Street in La Crosse. It's a black matte Pearl snare, 14 inches by 5, with a slightly chipped chrome hoop and a strip of blue painter's tape on the inside rim with my initials 'KP'. There's a small star sticker peeling near the badge by the lugs. This drum has sentimental value—it was a gift from my mentor, and I really need it back for rehearsals this week.

Navy blue hardcover mystery novel, well-loved

I lost my navy blue hardcover mystery novel yesterday around 3pm near the La Crosse Public Library on Main Street. It's a standard hardcover, about 320 pages, with a gold-embossed title on the spine and a small coffee stain on the back cover. Inside, there's a blue striped bookmark sticking out between pages 142-143. It felt like an old friend, and it has sentimental value because I picked it up for a late-night reading club and marked it with a note to myself. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate being reunited with it.
