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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost brooches in Los Angeles

I was helping set up for a charity luncheon at Grand Central Market around 4:15 PM last Saturday when I realized my brooches were missing. The three small pins are gold-tone with pale green stones, tucked into a navy velvet pouch I keep in my tote. I wore them on my lapel all day, and the last place I remember seeing them was near the fruit stalls outside the market entrance. I’m heartbroken because one came from my grandmother, and I’m hoping they turn up somewhere around downtown LA.

Lost organizers in Los Angeles

I realized Tuesday night, around 7:40 p.m., that my desk organizers were missing from the corner of my workspace near Grand Central Market on Broadway. They’re a light gray set: two shallow trays and a slim acrylic drawer, essential for corralling cables and notes between meetings. I had just wrapped a quick call and stepped out for a coffee at Grand Central Market, and when I came back they were gone. I’m frustrated with the mess of a busy week and missing that little organization I rely on. If you spotted them near the market or the Broad Museum, please keep them safe.

Kenner Star Wars Luke Skywalker figure, 3.75-inch tall, collectors item

I lost my Kenner Star Wars Luke Skywalker action figure from the late 70s yesterday around 5pm outside The Grove on Fairfax Ave in Los Angeles. It's the 3.75-inch loose figure with a white tunic, brown boots, and a blue lightsaber. There's light wear on the left knee and a tiny paint chip on the belt; on the back shoulder there's a faded Kenner logo and a small red sticker with a number I added years ago. It means a lot to me—this was a gift from my late uncle and I’ve had it since I was a kid. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Charcoal wool trench coat with gold hardware

Yesterday around 3pm, I think I left my charcoal wool trench coat outside a cafe near Grand Central Market on Broadway in Downtown LA. It's a mid-length coat, charcoal gray, with a gold-tone zipper and a matching belt; size M. The inside left pocket has a tiny red monogram 'AK' stitched into the lining, and there's a small burgundy satin lining peeking at the collar. The coat was a gift from my aunt and means a lot to me; I've worn it on chilly LA evenings for years. If anyone found it, please message me—I'd be really grateful to get it back.

Silver MacBook Pro 13-inch with charger

Yesterday around 3pm I lost my silver MacBook Pro 13-inch with the charger near Grand Central Market on Broadway and 4th Street in downtown Los Angeles. It's in a slim, matte-silver aluminum body, with a dent on the bottom-left corner and a faint scratch across the lid. There's a blue sticker on the palm rest that says 'World Traveler,' and a folder named 'Family' on the desktop full of old photos. It also has some work files and is basically my lifeline for staying organized. It really means a lot to me - if you found it, please reach out to me at [email protected] so we can arrange a pickup. I'd be forever grateful.
