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 North Jersey 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 North Jersey in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost GPS devices in North Jersey

Early this morning around 9:15 a.m., I was grabbing coffee and walking along the overlook at Paterson Great Falls when I realized my GPS devices were missing from my backpack. The two compact units, both with black casings and one in a blue sleeve, were my lifeline for navigating North Jersey during job runs. I must have set them down on a bench outside the Paterson Public Library, because that’s the last place I remember using them. I’m hoping the person who found them sees this and returns them; I rely on these devices to get to meetings on time and to stay oriented in this busy area.

Korg microKORG synth, black with orange panels

I lost my black and orange Korg microKORG portable synthesizer yesterday around 3pm outside the Montclair Center on Church Street, near Whole Foods. It's a 37-key compact synth in decent shape, with a couple cosmetic scratches and a small dent on the bottom-right corner. The back has a 'Sound Lab' sticker that I use for my gigs. This synth is sentimental to me and I really need it back; if anyone found it, please let me know. I use it for practice and small shows around North Jersey, and I’m hoping to get it home soon.

Black Ray-Ban round metal sunglasses

I lost my black Ray-Ban round metal sunglasses yesterday around 3pm near the CVS on Bloomfield Ave in Montclair. They're the classic Ray-Ban round metal frames with a matte black finish and gold nose bridge, lightweight and comfortable. One identifying feature is a tiny scratch on the left temple near the hinge, and the inside of the case has a blue microfiber pouch with my initials 'PR' in white marker. They were a gift from my grandmother, so they feel really sentimental and I would be grateful to get them back. If anyone picked them up, please reach out.

Silver charm bracelet with heart charm

I lost my silver charm bracelet yesterday around 3pm while walking along Hudson Place near the Hoboken PATH entrance. It's a slim 6.5-inch chain with a heart charm, a tiny brass compass pendant, and a charm engraved with the initials 'AK'. There’s also a pale blue bead charm that’s a bit loose, and the clasp is slightly tarnished. It’s sentimental because my mom gave it to me before I moved to North Jersey for college, and I’d really love to get it back. If you find it, email me at [email protected].

Brown Coach wallet with coffee stain

I was grabbing a latte at the Starbucks on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair yesterday around 3pm when I must've set my wallet down somewhere. It's a brown Coach bifold, about the size of a paperback, with a gold Coach emblem on the front, slightly frayed stitching along the right edge, and a small coffee stain on the back. Inside are my driver's license, a few credit cards, and about $60 in cash. It has sentimental value—my mom gave it to me, and I really need it back. If anyone found it, please reach out; I can describe the contents or the stain to confirm it's mine.

Blue Nike windbreaker, size L, orange interior

I lost my blue Nike windbreaker, size L, yesterday around 4:15pm near the Hoboken Terminal, outside the PATH entrance on Hudson Street. It's a lightweight water-resistant jacket with a bright orange lining that makes it easy to spot when I'm rushing between trains. The jacket has a small scuff on the left elbow and a tiny reflective star sticker on the chest pocket—super unique. It's my go-to gym jacket and has sentimental value because it was a gift from my sister who moved away last year. I'm in North Jersey and really hope someone who found it will spot me here and share it. If you saw it around the bike racks by the PATH entrance, please drop a note here; I'd be forever grateful.
