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 Lafayette 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 Lafayette in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Sheet Music in Lafayette

I lost my sheet music yesterday around 4:20 p.m. while I was at Lafayette’s Acadiana Center for the Arts, flipping through a blue three-ring binder near the stage doors. The wind picked up and it slipped from my bag. My heart dropped because those pages mean a lot to the piece I’ve been working on for weeks. It would mean the world to have them back, and I’m hoping someone found it and recognizes it as mine.

Navy blue US passport with gold lettering

I lost my navy blue US passport yesterday around 3pm near the Mall of Acadiana on Johnston Street in Lafayette. It's in a standard navy cover with gold lettering; the corners are a bit frayed and there's a small coffee stain on the back. Inside, a tiny receipt from a coffee shop is tucked in the pocket. This passport is important for an upcoming trip and holds sentimental value—it's tied to a family vacation last year. I’d really appreciate getting it back.

Blue Ticketmaster concert ticket stub

I lost my blue Ticketmaster concert ticket stub from yesterday afternoon here in Lafayette. It was for the 7:30 PM show at the Cajundome, in section 102, row B, seat 12, printed on white paper with a bold blue border and the Ticketmaster logo in the corner. There's a small coffee stain along the bottom edge and a crease from where it was folded in my wallet. The ticket has sentimental value—it was a gift from a friend who moved away, and I really need to recover it. I probably dropped it near the Cajundome main entrance around 3pm yesterday, by the security line outside the gate. If anyone found it, please reach out; I'd be forever grateful.

Blue hand-painted ceramic vase with gold rim

I lost my blue hand-painted ceramic vase yesterday around 3pm near the Lafayette Public Library on Main Street. It's about 8 inches tall with a glossy cobalt glaze and a delicate gold rim. There's a tiny star-shaped sticker on the bottom and a faint crack along the lip from a recent spill. The vase was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me, so I really need to get it back. If you found it, please drop me an email at [email protected].

Black AirPods Pro with blue case

Hey, I lost my black AirPods Pro with a blue silicone case yesterday around 5pm near the UL Lafayette campus on Johnston Street, behind the Student Union. The case has a small dent on the bottom edge and a pineapple sticker on the back. They were a birthday gift from my sister, so they mean a lot to me and I really need them back. If someone found them, dropping them at the campus security desk or the Lafayette Lost and Found would help me a ton.
