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 Ocala 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 Ocala in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost hats near Ocala Downtown Square

I realized my hats were missing at 4:15 p.m. last Friday after stepping out of Ocala's Downtown Square—the Market Street fountain area was buzzing, and I must have left them somewhere in the crowds. One hat is a navy sun hat with a wide brim; the other a gray knit beanie with a small pom. They’re more than keepsakes for me—the beanie keeps my ears warm after night shifts, and the navy hat carries a memory of summer days with a loved one. I retraced steps along Market Street and by the fountain, but they didn’t turn up. If you found them, please let me know through the site.

lost travel bags near Appleton Museum, Ocala

I lost my travel bags in the Appleton Museum of Art parking lot around 5:15 p.m. last Saturday after I handed my rental car keys to the attendant and walked to the gallery. When I returned from the exhibits, they were gone from the back seat of the SUV. The bags are black with red trim, and one zipper has a small scratch that shows the wear from a long trip. Inside are clothes for a business trip and a blue passport cover that makes them easy to spot. I’m anxious and hoping someone who picked them up will return them to the lost-and-found.

Lost gym bags near Ocala YMCA.

Today at around 5:30 p.m., I realized my gym bags were missing from the lobby area of the Ocala YMCA on West Silver Springs Boulevard. They’re two bags: a black duffel with a red zipper, and a gray backpack with a bright lime bottle sticking out. They contain my workout clothes, a towel, and a spare keycard. I’m feeling frustrated and anxious because my gear is essential for my routine, and I’ve been juggling a tight schedule all week. If anyone found them, please know they belong to me, and I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost CDs at Ocala Downtown Market, Florida.

I lost my CDs last Sunday in Ocala. I was at the Ocala Downtown Market around 2:40 p.m., near the fountain by the old courthouse, when I realized my bag was lighter. The CDs are from a recent road trip—a mix of indie tracks and classic rock that kept me company on long drives. I'm anxious and a little wistful, thinking about the memories tied to the songs. The market was busy, the air smelled like roasted coffee, and the sun was slipping behind the oaks. If found, please hold them safe; I’d be grateful to reclaim them.

lost sheet music near Ocala Downtown Library

I lost my folder of sheet music on a bench outside the Ocala Downtown Library at 5:30 p.m. yesterday while I adjusted my guitar case. When I turned back, it had vanished. The music is mostly mine, with a few pieces from a local composer; it's not valuable to anyone else, but it means a lot to me as I prep for tomorrow's recital. The brick plaza around the library, the clock by the courthouse, and the hum of traffic on South Magnolia stay in my mind, and I keep hoping someone found it and kept it safe. If you found it, please let the site know.

Lost driver's license in Ocala, Florida

Hi, I'm Grace Turner. I lost my driver's license yesterday around 6:30 PM after I stopped at the Publix on East Silver Springs Boulevard and wandered toward the Ocala Downtown Square. I think I left it on a bench by the fountain near the old courthouse while I rummaged through keys and receipts in my bag. It felt like a punch in the gut—no ID for a trip I was about to take next week for work. The license shows my name, Grace Turner, and a Florida address. If someone happened to pick it up, I’d be endlessly grateful and relieved to have it back, especially knowing I’ll need it to board a flight soon.
