How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

  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 Northwest KS in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost appliances from kitchen in Northwest KS

I was rushing to get coffee at 8:20 a.m. on Sunday when my kitchen appliances vanished from the countertop. I left my apartment on 2nd Avenue in Hays, Kansas, in Northwest Kansas, for just a moment, and when I came back, the white microwave, a coffee maker, and a compact blender were gone. The counters feel so bare without them, and I’ve been scrambling to replace basic daily essentials, which has me frustrated and anxious. If you saw them around the building or in a nearby yard, please let me know—I’m clinging to hope that they’re simply misplaced and not far away.

LOST: Gym Clothes in Northwest KS

I lost my Gym Clothes in Northwest KS, Kansas, United States after basketball practice at the Colby Rec Center gym around 7:50 PM last Friday. I had them in a red gym bag with my initials, along with a black hoodie and gray sweatpants. I remember setting the bag near the doorway by the bleachers and rushing out as the lights clicked off. If someone found them, please know they’re important to me for practice and routine, and I’d be grateful to get them back.

Lost train near Fort Hays State University.

I was leaving Fort Hays State University around 8:15 pm last Friday when I realized I had lost my small toy train from my tote. It's a metal engine, blue with a thin red stripe, part of a set I’ve kept since high school. I’d been showing it to a friend near Forsyth Library on campus, and I must have set it down on a bench while we talked. The moment I realized it was gone hit hard — a mix of nostalgia and worry about letting the family tradition fade. If someone happened to have found a lone blue engine near the Forsyth Library steps, I’d be grateful to have it back.

Lost trading cards from my collection

Hi, I’m Maya Collins. I lost a small binder full of trading cards—mostly baseball and fantasy cards—during last Friday’s community event. It happened around 7:45 PM near the Main Street Gazebo in downtown Northwest KS, close to the old water tower by the library. The binder is tan with a red zipper and has a label that reads 'Kellum Collection' on the front. I’m sick with worry; some of these cards were gifts from my dad and a few are pretty rare. I’d be grateful to get it back. Please pass it through the site if you’ve seen it, and I’ll meet you to pick it up as soon as possible.

Sheet Music left behind in Northwest Kansas

I lost my sheet music folder in Northwest Kansas around 2:00 p.m. Sunday at the community center by Main Street. It contains pieces I’ve been rehearsing for a small local gig and a few markings from my mentor. I retraced my steps to the library steps and the sidewalk outside the center, but it wasn’t there. If someone found it, please hand it in to the lost-and-found so I can pick it up and keep playing.

Lost: 'Wild and Domestic' in Northwest KS

On Tuesday around 4:30 p.m., I was browsing the Oakley Main Street Market when I realized my paperback 'Wild and Domestic' was missing from my tote. I hurried back through the aisles, past the grain elevator and the old soda shop, hoping to spot it on a shelf or a chair, but it was gone. The book is a gift from my grandmother, and it’s become a small source of comfort during long harvest season in this part of Kansas. If it turns up, I’ll swing by to pick it up and share a cup of thanks with whoever found it.
