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 Lansing 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 Lansing in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost chargers in Lansing

I lost my chargers around 4:15 p.m. today in downtown Lansing, near the Michigan State Capitol on Capitol Avenue. I had them in my backpack when I stopped to grab a coffee at a cafe on Grand River Avenue; they must have slipped from my bag on the bench outside or the cafe seating area. They’re a black USB-C charger with a light gray cable; I rely on them to stay powered during long work days. It would mean a lot to get them back before my trip this week.

Lost: Sports equipment bag near Capitol, Lansing

Hi, I’m Alex Mitchell. On Tuesday around 5:45 p.m., I realized my equipment bag vanished after a quick water break near the Capitol steps in downtown Lansing. The bag is a black Nike duffel packed with gear for soccer, basketball, and tennis, with my initials AM on the tag. I remember stepping away briefly along the River Trail and turning back to fetch a bottle, only to see the bag gone. These items are all I have for practice this week, and I’m anxious to get them back.

Blue Omron BP monitor with cuff

I lost my blue Omron blood pressure monitor with cuff yesterday around 3pm near Sparrow Hospital outside the emergency entrance on Michigan Ave in Lansing. It's a compact unit, about the size of a paperback, with a slightly frayed nylon cuff and a clear display inside a blue silicone case. There's a small white sticker on the back that says 'No. 204' and a coffee stain along the top edge from this morning's cup. I rely on this device every day to manage my hypertension, and it's essential to have it back; if you found it, please reach out—this is Health & Medical Items.

Brown leather Coach wallet with licenses, lost yesterday.

I lost my brown leather Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm near the Capitol Avenue entrance by the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing. It's a compact tri-fold wallet, about the size of a paperback, with a slightly worn texture and a gold-tone zipper on the coin pocket. Inside are my driver's license, two credit cards, and about $50 in cash. A couple of my initials 'P.P.' are engraved on the inside patch. It has sentimental value; my grandmother gave it to me and I really need to get it back. If anyone found it, contact me at [email protected].

Navy duvet cover with white piping, queen size

I lost my navy duvet cover with white piping, queen size, yesterday around 3pm. It's a lightweight cotton-poly blend, smooth on the outside and a touch brushed on the inside, with a tiny embroidered 'AM' near the bottom corner and a faint coffee stain along the inner seam. I think I had it in my apartment on Kalamazoo Street near Sparrow Hospital in Lansing after I changed the sheets and did a quick load of laundry; it might have slipped into the hallway closet or rolled behind the dresser near the laundry area. It has sentimental value—my grandmother gave it to me years ago—and I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it. Message me here and we can arrange a pickup near Capitol Ave, Lansing.

Framed gold-leaf landscape painting

I lost my framed gold-leaf landscape painting yesterday around 3pm. It's a 16x20 inch acrylic piece by a local artist, titled 'Spring on River Street', matted in white with a thin black border and housed in a gold-leaf frame. The back has a tiny sticker from the Lansing Arts Collective and a faint dent on the top-left corner. It was a gift from my grandmother and means a lot to me. I had set it down outside the Lansing City Market on East Kalamazoo Street while I grabbed a quick lunch, and when I came back it was gone. If anyone found it, please reach out—I’d really appreciate getting it back.
