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 Las Cruces 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 Las Cruces in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Passports lost near Pan Am Center, Las Cruces.

At around 2:45 PM today, I realized my passports were missing after a student recruitment event near the Pan Am Center on University Avenue in Las Cruces. I had set my bags down briefly near the registration table and stepped away to grab water, and when I returned they were gone. The passports mean the difference between a trip abroad and staying here, and the whole thing has my head in a whirl. I’m trying not to panic and hold on to a sliver of hope that someone nearby found them and kept them safe.

Lost hoops near Old Mesilla Plaza, Las Cruces

At 6:15 PM yesterday, after grabbing a latte on Main Street, I realized my hoops weren’t in my pocket anymore. I’d wandered from the Mesilla Valley Mall toward Old Mesilla Plaza, hoping the breeze had simply tugged them loose from my jacket. I checked the sidewalk, the little fountain by the plaza, and the shop doorway where I paused for a breath, but they were gone. Those hoops are the one tiny piece from my grandmother I still wear, and losing them hurts more than I expected. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost coins near Las Cruces Farmers Market

Hi, I’m Sofia Martinez. I lost a small pouch with mixed coins while sorting receipts near the Las Cruces Farmers Market around 9:30 a.m. last Saturday. The coins include a few old quarters, a penny with a ship, and a keepsake token from a local charity. The memory attached to the coins comes from a quick trip to the plaza last month; I felt the weight in my pocket and realized they were gone after I paid for a coffee. I retraced from the market to the plaza and down Main Street, but I couldn’t find the pouch. If you found a coin purse with weathered coins, please help me bring it home.

Lost: Holiday decorations in Las Cruces

I lost my holiday decorations on Friday around 5:45 p.m., somewhere near Old Mesilla Plaza in Las Cruces. The box holds red and green glass ornaments, a handful of handmade stars, and a string of tinsel that's sentimental as can be. I was outside my apartment on University Avenue when I turned around and realized the box wasn't in my hands. I’m hoping someone found them and will see this post—these decorations mean a lot to my family.

Lost sheet music near Pan Am Center

Hi, I'm Mia Sanchez. I lost my sheet music after a wind ensemble rehearsal. I last had it around 6:15 PM outside the Pan Am Center on the NMSU campus in Las Cruces. It's a blue binder with a few pages peeking out and a pencil note in the corner. Those pieces mean a lot to me, and I felt lost without them after the walk back to the dorm. If someone happened to find it, I’d be grateful to know it’s safe somewhere.

Purple Las Cruces Music Fest ticket

I lost my Las Cruces Music Festival ticket yesterday around 3pm near the Pan Am Center behind Barnes & Noble on University Ave. It's a single general admission TicketMaster print, on glossy purple stock, about 2x5 inches, with a silver foil 'LCMF' stamp near the top and a barcode on the back. The ticket shows a faint crease along the left edge from a bag jam, and there's a tiny blue doodle of a guitar drawn in the corner. I bought it for a date with my sister; it's sold out now, so I really need it back. If you found it, please drop a message for me in this app—it's tied to my name Priya Kapoor and the email [email protected].
