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 Northern WI 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 Northern WI in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost wrist watches in Northern Wisconsin

Hey there, I lost my wrist watches around 6:15 p.m. last Tuesday after leaving the Main Street Market in Eagle River. I was talking with a friend near the town square and set them down briefly on a bench by the riverwalk, and they disappeared. There are two watches: one with a black leather strap and a silver face, the other a stainless steel bracelet with a blue dial. They’re meaningful to me—the leather-strapped one was a gift from my grandmother—and I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe near the market or the library in Eagle River.

Lost driver's license in Northern Wisconsin

Hi, I'm Mia Thompson. I lost my driver's license yesterday around 6:20 PM near the Ashland Public Library parking lot. I had stopped by a cafe on 2nd Street and must have left it behind when I rushed back to my car. It's a standard Wisconsin license with my photo, and I'm anxious about identity issues until I get it back. If someone has found it, I’d be incredibly grateful for its return and can verify details in person.

Lost sheet music in Rhinelander downtown

Hi, I’m Emma Larson. I lost a sheet music folder this afternoon around 3:30 PM somewhere in downtown Rhinelander, Northern WI, Wisconsin, near the Clock Tower on Lincoln Street. I had been rehearsing in a cafe and left the folder on a chair while I ordered coffee; when I returned, it was gone. Inside are pages for a piano prep piece and a choral arrangement—each page is dog-eared and stained from practice. It’s important to me for a recital next week, so I’m hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe.

Lost memory cards in Northern WI

On Saturday night around 9:30 p.m., I realized my memory cards were missing after I left a coffee shop on Broadway Street in downtown Superior. They’re a small hard-shell case containing several SD cards; some hold photos from a recent hiking trip in Nicolet National Forest. I spent hours retracing my steps along the lakefront, hoping someone honest picked them up. If you found them, please keep them safe; I’ll be back on the canal trail and the lakefront around sunrise to search again.

lost: Passports in Northern Wisconsin

Lost my passports on Tuesday around 7:15 p.m. while walking the harbor near the Bayfield Lighthouse in Northern WI. They were in a burgundy leather cover tucked inside a small zippered pouch, and I’d last seen them on a bench by the harbor wall. I’m anxious about travel plans and possible delays, especially with an upcoming flight. If found, I’ll be at the Bayfield Lighthouse harbor area again tomorrow morning, hoping someone picked them up and handed them in.

Lost USB drives near Bayfield Co-op, Bayfield, WI

I was packing up after a sunset walk at the Bayfield Marina around 7:15 PM on Friday when my USB drives slipped from my navy backpack. They’re in a small clear case, one side labeled 'Work' and the other 'Personal' with a red sticker. The drives hold client files and travel photos from this summer, and I’m anxious about losing that data. If you found them, please drop them at the Bayfield Co-op or the public library desk; I’ll head there as soon as I can. Thank you for keeping them safe.
