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 Monterey Bay 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 Monterey Bay in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost microwaves near Cannery Row, Monterey Bay

Today at 9:40 a.m., I realized my two microwaves were missing from the back of my pickup parked along Cannery Row, not far from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They’re plain silver, a bit scratched from a move, with one door dented where a grocery bag bumped into it. The morning fog hung over the water and gulls cried from the old warehouses as I scanned the street, stomach knotting with worry. I need them back for a small apartment setup, and I’m hoping someone has seen them or picked them up by mistake. They’re important to me.

Lost CDs near Cannery Row, Monterey Bay

I was strolling along Cannery Row near Fisherman’s Wharf around 8:30 PM last Friday when I realized my CDs were missing from my tote. They are a slim black jewel case with a few indie records and a handwritten track list on the back. I must have dropped them somewhere along the busy waterfront as I paused to take a photo of the sunset over the Monterey Bay. One of the discs holds a recording of a song my grandmother loved, so this loss hits extra hard. If you found them, I would be grateful to reunite them with their owner.

Gold-tone bracelet with turtle charm and initials

I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near Fisherman's Wharf on Cannery Row in Monterey Bay. It's a slim 6.5-inch bracelet with a small enamel turtle charm in teal and lime, plus a tiny heart charm. The inside of the clasp is engraved with the initials 'PP'. It was a gift from my grandmother and has a lot of sentimental value—I really need it back. It's a bit scuffed from daily wear, but still shines. If anyone found it, please email me at [email protected] so we can arrange a pickup near the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the marina.

Monogrammed blue quilt with white piping

I lost my monogrammed blue quilt with white piping last night around 3:15pm near Cannery Row, right outside the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It’s a queen-size quilt, soft cotton, with a tiny embroidered sea turtle in the bottom-right corner and a faded lavender ribbon tag that says 'Home'. It was a gift from my grandmother, so it means a lot to me and carries a lot of sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back, especially since it’s comfortable for my nightly sleep and the embroidery helps me spot it among other linens on the laundry rack at the motel by Del Monte Beach.
