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 Lehigh Valley 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 Lehigh Valley in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost xylophones in Lehigh Valley

I realized my xylophones were missing after I packed up at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, outside the PPL Center in downtown Allentown, Lehigh Valley. The set is a small wooden frame with five bright bars, each a different color. I had just finished a quick practice after work and stepped toward the concession stand to grab a water. When I turned back, the xylophones were gone, as if they had walked away on their own. I keep hearing the soft clack of the bars in my head and my hands feel oddly empty. They’re not just instruments to me; they hold years of late-night practice and small victories.

lost kittens near SteelStacks, Bethlehem

Today, around 4:15 p.m., I realized my two kittens were missing while I was at the SteelStacks plaza in Bethlehem. They’re tiny, about eight weeks old, gray with white paws, and one has a small black patch on its head. I live in Allentown, and the thought of them mewling in the cool evening makes my stomach knot. They were last seen near the outdoor stage by the fountain, darting after a fluttering leaf, and my heart is aching with worry.

lost Shoes in Lehigh Valley

Hi, I'm Mia Thompson. I left my Shoes behind after a charity 5K in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, United States, and realized they weren’t on my feet around 6:30 p.m. Saturday near Bethlehem's SteelStacks outdoor plaza. The shoes are bright orange with white soles and a blue logo near the heel. I checked by the Levitt Pavilion and the fountain, but they were gone. I’m hoping someone who found them might have tucked them somewhere safe until I could reunite with them.

Lost: organizers in Lehigh Valley, PA

On Tuesday around 6:20 PM, I was wrapping up a volunteer shift for a local fundraiser near Allentown's Public Library on Hamilton Street when I realized my organizers were missing from the folding table. The organizers are three clear plastic bins labeled with event names, plus a small metal frame that keeps the lids snug. They are essential for keeping the schedule, supplies, and receipts organized for the night, and I felt immediate worry that a setback would disrupt the event. If you found them, please claim them through the site so I can get back to work and this fundraiser can go on smoothly.

Lost microwaves near Hamilton Street, Allentown, 7:15 p.m.

I was unloading groceries outside my apartment on Hamilton Street in Allentown at 7:15 p.m. Friday when I realized my microwaves were missing. They’re more than appliances to me; they’ve saved countless late study sessions and quick dinners after long shifts. The larger unit has a dent on the front-left corner, and the smaller one sits in a gray dish rack with a blue lid. I retraced my steps along the sidewalk and searched the hallway, but nothing turned up. If anyone saw something around that time near the Hamilton Street corridor, please help—these things are essential for tonight's meal prep and I’m feeling unsettled without them.
