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 Milwaukee 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 Milwaukee in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Medication near Milwaukee Public Market, Historic Third Ward

I lost my medication while grabbing coffee at the Milwaukee Public Market this morning, around 11:05 AM. I must have left the bottle on a bench by the riverfront before moving on to the vendor stalls. Those pills are part of my daily routine, and missing them has me worried about today. If a kind person found them, I’d be grateful they stayed safe near the entrance.

Lost Toasters in Milwaukee

I was in my Milwaukee apartment on N. Van Buren Street, around 7:40 AM, when I realized my two toasters were missing from the kitchen counter. The chrome Sunbeam and the matte black Hamilton Beach were gifts for my kids, and breakfast each morning just won’t be the same without them. I retraced my steps through the kitchen and hallway, hoping it was a simple misplacement rather than a big loss. If anyone saw them, please let the site know so I can get them back to our kitchen.

Lost: Wild and Domestic in Milwaukee

I lost my Wild and Domestic item this morning, around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, near the Milwaukee Public Market along the Riverwalk. It’s a small brass sign with a rustic look, a gift from my grandmother that I’ve kept on my desk for years. I realized it was missing while walking from the Market toward the Third Ward, and the day suddenly felt a lot emptier. If you found a small brass sign with that phrase near the river, I’d be endlessly grateful to have it back.

Lost Driver's License in Milwaukee

I was at the Milwaukee Public Market on Saturday around 2:50 p.m. when I realized my driver's license wasn't in my wallet. I retraced my steps from the cheese counter to the souvenir shop and back out along Water Street, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The card has a recent photo and my Milwaukee address, which makes me anxious about identity safety. I keep hoping someone honest picked it up and will hand it in through the proper channels; I could really use it back before my trip next week. If you found it, I'd be grateful to have it returned.

Blue hand-painted porcelain vase with gold rim

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my blue hand-painted porcelain vase is missing. It’s about 12 inches tall, cobalt blue with white floral motifs and a delicate gold rim; the glaze has a subtle crackle. It’s a local Milwaukee piece, signed on the bottom 'A. Kim 2021'. There’s a tiny chip on the lip that I hope someone would recognize. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means the world to me, so I’d really appreciate it if it’s found near the Milwaukee Public Market area in the Third Ward, outside the entrance on Broadway and St. Paul Ave.
