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 driver's license in Lansing

Hi, I lost my driver's license yesterday in Lansing. Around 6:15 p.m., I was walking from the Capitol Complex toward Capitol Ave and must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk. It's a Michigan license with a blue border and my photo; I feel exposed and worried about identity security. I’m hoping someone who found it will come forward and help get it back.

Lost: saxophones in Lansing, MI

I lost my saxophones on Saturday around 6:30 PM, somewhere along the Lansing Riverfront near the Michigan State Capitol. The case is black with a few scratches and a faded sticker from my college band, easy to spot if you’ve seen it. I was taking a quick break at the Old Town Market before heading to rehearsal, and I must have set them down there while I rearranged gear. These horns mean more to me than anything; I’d be grateful to hear that someone picked them up for safekeeping.

Lost passports in Lansing, Michigan

I realized my passport is missing this morning and I’m panicking about an international trip next week. I last had it around 9:45 a.m. while I was grabbing coffee at the Capitol City Coffee on East Michigan Avenue, then walking toward the Lansing Public Library; it could have slipped from my bag somewhere between there and the bus stop. It’s a dark blue cover with my initials in the corner and a small sticker on the back. I retraced several blocks, checked the cafe counter, and asked a few shop owners, but no luck yet. If you happened to find it, I’d be incredibly grateful to have it returned through the site.

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.
