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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost swimsuits in Manhattan, KS

After a swim at CiCo Park Pool around 6:20 PM on Tuesday, I realized my swimsuits were missing. I had left them on a lounge chair by the poolside while I rinsed off in the locker area, and now they’re gone. The suit is a blue two-piece with a small red heart and a stain from the pool chalk, and it means a lot after a rough week of exams. I hope a kind soul turned them in, or that someone picked them up for safekeeping.

Lost Student ID near K-State Union

I was grabbing a quick coffee at the K-State Student Union on Monday around 12:45 PM when I realized my student ID was missing from my wallet. I must have dropped it near the north entrance by the outdoor seating area outside the union, possibly near the vending machines. Losing it is a hassle with classes starting soon, and I’m hoping it turns up. The ID holds my campus access and student number, so any help would be a huge relief.

LOST: Puppies in Manhattan, Kansas

2:45 PM, Friday, near Aggieville on the edge of the K-State campus, two puppies bolted from my side during a quick break from a walk. One is small with a tan coat, the other a bit bigger and black-faced, both curious and fast. I chased them past the campus bookstore and down Poyntz Avenue, but they slipped into the crowd and vanished. Losing them hurts more than I can say, and I’m praying someone who saw them can help bring them home. If you spotted two puppies wandering around Aggieville or near the K-State campus, please keep an eye out.

Lost Adapters near K-State campus

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson, a grad student at Kansas State University. Around 6:30 p.m. yesterday I realized my Adapters were missing from a table near the K-State Student Union coffee shop after a group study session. I need them to connect my laptop to the projector for tomorrow’s class, and I’m scrambling to get everything ready. If you found them, please keep them safe—the owner will be grateful and I’ll head to the Union to pick them up as soon as possible.

Lost brooches near Aggieville, Manhattan

I was walking back to the K-State Union on a windy Friday afternoon around 2:15 p.m., near the campus bookstore, when I realized my brooches were missing. The two delicate pieces—one with a small emerald centerpiece and another with tiny pearl accents—were last pinned to a scarf I wore for the campus photo, and I remember their colors catching the light by the glass atrium. I felt a knot in my stomach because those brooches belong to my grandmother and carry a lot of memory. If anyone found them outside the Aggieville shops, please hold onto them; I’d be grateful to get them back where they belong.

LOST: Travel adapters near K-State Union, Manhattan.

I’m Mara Thompson. I LOST my travel adapters somewhere around the K-State Union on College Avenue last Friday at about 7:20 p.m. I was wrapping up a late study session and must have left them on a bench near the fountain by the quad. They’re a compact set in a navy case with a few different plug types tucked inside. I retraced the campus streets through Aggieville and along the library steps, asking a few people if they’d seen them, but nothing turned up yet. These adapters are essential for my weekend trip, and I’m crossing my fingers someone stumbles on them.
