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 Mason City 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 Mason City in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost CDs near Music Man Square, Mason City

Hey there, I’m Alex Martinez. I lost a batch of CDs this afternoon near Music Man Square in Mason City. It was 4:30 PM on Friday; I had them in a black zip pouch with a small red sticker, and I was sitting on a bench outside the square to charge my phone before heading to the library. I might have left the pouch on the concrete pedestal by the street corner or tucked it into my backpack. Those CDs include irreplaceable live recordings from last year, and I’m anxious about retracing my steps. If someone found them, please let the site know so I can reclaim them.

Lost drones near Riverside Park, Mason City.

At around 8:45 pm on Friday, I was wrapping up a sunset video along the riverfront path by Riverside Park in Mason City when I realized my drones weren't in my bag anymore. They’re two small quadcopters: one white with a black camera module, the other gray with red tips. I’d set them on a bench beside the trail sign near the park restroom, and I must have walked away without them. My heart dropped—those drones are how I capture quiet evenings here, and I’m hoping a good Samaritan found them and kept them safe.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports in Mason City

I was at the North Park basketball courts by the Main Street Bridge around 7:30 p.m. last Tuesday after practice. My Equipment for Various Sports bag disappeared from the bench while I dashed to grab a water bottle. It's a gray nylon bag with a blue zipper, and inside are items for soccer, tennis, and basketball—the stuff I use every week. I retraced my steps, checked the bench, the trash can, the gate, and the parking lot, but the bench was empty and the lights were off. I'm anxious because these pieces are crucial for the season and hold memories from all the years I played. If anyone saw anything or picked it up by mistake, please let me know through the site.

Cream quilt with teal stitching, Mason City

I lost my cream quilt with teal stitching yesterday around 3pm near the Mason City Public Library on 2nd Street SE, outside the entrance by the bus stop. It’s a queen-size quilt from Bedding & Linen, probably a Target Threshold piece; the fabric is a bit worn from daily use, with a small coffee stain on the bottom-right corner and a tiny snag along the left edge. On the back there’s a teal cursive monogram 'PK' in the corner—easy to spot if you look closely. This quilt was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value, so I really need it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can arrange pickup; I can verify with the corner stain and the PK monogram.

Gold-tone heart pendant necklace, 18-inch chain

I was at the downtown Mason City Farmers Market yesterday around 3pm and realized my necklace was gone. It's a gold-tone dainty necklace with a tiny heart pendant, about 18 inches long, from the brand Aurora. The back is engraved with an initial 'L' and there’s a small sapphire at the heart corner. The chain is slender and the clasp is a simple spring ring. It has huge sentimental value—it was a gift from my mom—and I really need it back. I last noticed it near the Mason City Public Library on 2nd Street, close to the corner cafe, as I headed toward Main Street. If found, please reach out; I’d be incredibly grateful.

Blue contact lens case with white lid

I lost my blue plastic contact lens case with a white lid yesterday around 3pm near the Mason City Public Library on 1st Street SE. The case is small, about the size of a dental floss pick, and a bit scuffed along the bottom from a few drops. There’s a tiny red heart sticker on the lid that makes it easy to spot. I keep spare daily lenses in there, and it’s sentimental because it belonged to my grandmother. I really need it back so I can keep wearing my lenses without paying for a replacement. If anyone found it, please let me know.
