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 Louisville 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 Louisville in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST Saxophones in Louisville

At 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, after a rehearsal at the Kentucky Center for the Arts downtown, I realized my two saxophones were gone. I started at Waterfront Park and worked my way back toward Fourth Street Live, tracing the steps by the river and the brick arches, but the cases vanished into the evening crowd. One horn is silver with a dent by the bell; the other has a bright lacquer that catches the streetlights. I’m devastated thinking they might be out there somewhere near the Muhammad Ali Center, and I just want them back in my hands.

lost utensils near Louisville waterfront

I was packing up after a dinner with friends at the Louisville waterfront around 6:15 PM on Friday, near the Big Four Bridge. My utensil set—a plain metal fork, a wooden-handled spoon, and a blue plastic spatula—was in a green zip pouch and simply vanished from the picnic bench by Waterfront Park. I cook for gatherings, and that little kit has seen hundreds of meals, so losing it stings more than I expected. If you found a dented fork and that wooden spoon somewhere along the path by the river, I would be grateful to reclaim them from wherever they ended up.

Lost stamps near Big Four Bridge

I lost my stamps around 3:50 p.m. on Wednesday after a walk near the Big Four Bridge in Louisville. They were in a small red stamp album tucked into my messenger bag; I must have dropped it while passing Fourth Street Live. The stamps are important to me—a family heirloom of sorts—so I’d really appreciate anyone who might have seen it to keep it safe.

Lost passport in Louisville, Fourth Street Live area

I’m really anxious — I think I misplaced my passport. I last had it around 6:30 p.m. yesterday, after I grabbed a coffee near Fourth Street Live on Main Street in Louisville. I set the bag on a chair while I checked a map, and when I turned back, the bag was gone. Inside was my passport and a few travel photos. I’ve retraced my steps along Main Street and the transit area, but nothing. I’m trying to stay calm and get travel plans back on track.

Nintendo Switch OLED in black case with blue/red Joy-Cons

I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED yesterday around 3pm near the Big Four Bridge overlook along the Louisville Waterfront Park. It's in a black protective case, with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Cons and a blue silicone grip on the left controller. The back of the case has a small cat sticker I put on ages ago, and the screen has a faint bottom-edge scratch from a drop last month. This device holds a lot of my saved games and a few personal notes, so I’m really hoping someone turned it in—please reach out if you find it.

Navy blue memory-foam travel neck pillow

I lost my navy blue memory-foam travel neck pillow yesterday around 3pm near the Oxmoor Center mall on Shelbyville Road in Louisville. It's a Trtl brand pillow with a soft fleece cover, a bit flattened from daily use, and there's a faint coffee stain along the front edge. A small turquoise loop on the strap and a tiny Trtl tag on the inner side are my identifying markers. This pillow has helped me sleep on red-eye trips, and it's become kind of sentimental after all the flights I've taken with it. If anyone found it, I would really appreciate getting it back before my next trip.
