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 Mendocino County 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 Mendocino County in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost leashes near Glass Beach, Mendocino County

Late last night, around 9:30 pm, I parked at the Mendocino Headlands parking lot and walked toward Glass Beach. When we headed back to the car, my two dog leashes were gone from the back seat. They are a blue nylon leash and a black leash with a paw print charm. They are not fancy, but they help us on our coastal walks, and I hope someone nearby found them and kept them safe until I can recover them.

Lost gym clothes after workout in Mendocino County.

I realized my gym clothes were lost in the locker room around 7:45 p.m. last Friday at Mendocino Fitness Center. My bag had a black hoodie, navy leggings with a white stripe, and a white towel with my initials. I’ve replayed the moment a dozen times and feel a bit anxious about getting everything back in time for Sunday’s hike. If you found a bag on the bench near locker 4, please let the site know so I can retrieve it.

LOST: Holiday Decorations near Mendocino Village

I left the holiday decorations on the porch of my friend's cottage on Main Street in Mendocino around 7:45 p.m. last Sunday, and when I looked again the next morning they were gone. The box contained string lights, red bows, and a garland that glowed softly in the porch light. I walked the short distance toward Mendocino Headlands State Park and checked the nearby shops, but no sign. The decorations meant a lot to us during our stay in Mendocino County, and I’d love to have them back for our Christmas setup.

lost utensils near Little River Inn, Mendocino

I was wrapping up a sunset picnic outside the Little River Inn along Highway 1 around 6:15 PM last Friday. I laid out a small metal utensil tin, and by the time I stood to put everything away, the utensils vanished. It’s a simple stainless set—fork, knife, and spoon—with a blue tape stripe and a tiny dent in the spoon. I’m hoping a kind passerby picked them up and kept them safe; those tools feel like a little piece of home and I’d hate to start cooking without them.

Lost: Tank Accessories in Mendocino County

Hi, I’m Avery Collins. I lost a bag with my tank accessories—the heater, an extra filter, and a bundle of hoses—somewhere along the Glass Beach parking lot in Fort Bragg around 6:15 PM last Friday. I had pulled over to snap a quick photo and must have forgotten it when I got back in the truck. The bag is blue with a white zipper and a small dent in the lid. I rely on these for my aquarium setup, and I’m hoping someone found them and kept them safe somewhere in Mendocino County.

Lost Saxophones after show on Fort Bragg Main St.

I’m a local saxophonist and I left my Saxophones after a small show on Fort Bragg’s Main Street around 2:35 p.m. Friday. They were in a black hard case with two horns, the necks peeking out, and I’m sure I left them near the backstage area behind the venue by the harbor. Those instruments are how I tell my stories on stage, and I’m frantic about letting them disappear into someone else’s hands. If they’re safe somewhere, I hope they’ll be turned in to the venue’s lost-and-found so I can get back to playing soon.
