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 Lake Charles 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 Lake Charles in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost CDs near Lake Charles Civic Center

I am Marie LeBlanc, and I realized my CDs were missing after I stepped away from the Lake Charles Civic Center lakefront around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The blue case held a mix of classic rock and indie tunes I collected on road trips through Louisiana. It feels empty without them, like losing part of my late night playlists and memories from drives along the bay. If you found a blue CD case near the lakefront, I would be grateful to have it back.

Black nylon tote bag with red interior

I lost my black nylon tote bag yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Ryan Street by the Lake Charles Civic Center. It's a medium-sized tote, about 14 inches wide, with a red fabric lining and a small frayed tag that says 'Mira' on the outside. Inside there's a spiral notebook with hand-drawn sketches, a blue dolphin-shaped keychain on the zipper, and a faded photo of my grandmother. The bag has sentimental value—it was a gift from her, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please let me know; I’d be incredibly grateful.

Navy quilt blanket with initials J.S.

I lost my navy quilt blanket yesterday around 3pm near the Target on Nelson Road here in Lake Charles. It's a king-size quilt, soft cotton flannel with a subtle geometric pattern, and the initials 'J.S.' embroidered in the lower-right corner. There are a couple of small wear spots along the seam and a faint coffee stain on the back. It was a gift from my grandmother and carries a lot of sentimental value; I really need it back. I noticed it was missing after I got home from errands and realized I had left it in the car or by the checkout area. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'm hoping to be reunited with it soon.

Lost black leather briefcase with gold clasp

I was walking back to my car after a meeting yesterday around 3pm and realized my black leather briefcase was gone. It's a Samsonite Pro-DLX in good condition, about 16 inches wide, with a single gold-tone clasp and a small scuff on the lower right corner. Inside there's a red fabric lining, a palm-sized notebook, and a yellow sticky note with my initials 'PR' stuck inside the lid. I last remember having it near the parking lot behind Cornerstone Café on Broad Street, close to the Lake Charles Civic Center. This briefcase holds important client files and a few personal mementos; it's something I really need back, and it has sentimental value to me. If anyone found it, email me at [email protected].

Bright green budgie with yellow face

I lost my bright green budgie yesterday around 3pm near the Lake Charles Civic Center on Lakeshore Drive. He’s tiny, about 5 inches from beak to tail, with a lime-green body, a yellow face, blue-tipped tail feathers, and a red leg band with the code A12. If you call his name 'Kiwi', he’ll usually chirp back, though he’s a bit shy around new people. This bird is a gift to my daughter and means the world to us—we’d really appreciate any sighting in the boardwalk/piers area and a quick reunion.
