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 Owensboro 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 Owensboro in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Holiday Decorations in Owensboro

On Friday evening around 7:45 p.m., I realized my holiday decorations were missing after unloading from the car in Owensboro, near Smothers Park along the riverfront. The box was bright red with a gold ribbon, and inside were a string of multicolored LED bulbs and a few handmade ornaments I’ve saved for years. The moment I noticed they were gone, my heart sank—the season feels less bright without them. I’m hoping the right passerby sees this and can help bring them back.

Lost: Student ID in Owensboro, KY

Today around 2:15 PM, I realized my student ID was missing after I walked out of Brescia University and headed toward the riverfront by Smothers Park. I retraced my steps along the Owensboro Riverfront, past the benches and the fountain, but the card wasn’t there. My stomach dropped—without that ID I can’t access campus buildings or check out materials for class, and I’m worried about deadlines. If anyone found something that might belong to me, please know it would mean everything to get it back.

Lost sheet music in Owensboro near Smothers Park

On Sunday around 3:15 p.m., I was rehearsing at the Owensboro Riverfront near Smothers Park when my sheet music binder slipped from my bag. The blue binder, labeled Concert Pieces, has a handful of handwritten notes and a page marker that is bent from a few practiced runs. It means a lot to me for the upcoming recital, and I am anxious about finding it. If someone found it, please know I am hoping you will see this listing and return it to the riverfront lost-and-found area, so I can keep practicing and finish preparations.

Neon Joy-Con Nintendo Switch with case

I lost my neon blue and red Nintendo Switch with a black protective case yesterday around 3pm near the Smothers Park entrance on West 2nd Street in Owensboro. It’s a standard Nintendo Switch, a little scratched on the back and the left Joy-Con has a tiny dent. The case is matte black with a small panda sticker on the back. It has sentimental value—it's the only thing I can rely on after a long workday, and I really need it back; I use it during breaks and on the bus ride home. If anyone found a Switch with the panda sticker, please let me know.

Matte black wireless earbuds with blue charging case

Hey, I lost my matte black wireless earbuds yesterday around 3pm near the Kroger on Frederica Street in Owensboro. They were in a bright blue charging case with a noticeable scratch along the bottom edge, and the right earbud has a tiny dent near the tip. There’s a small 'A12' sticker on the inside lid of the case, so they’re easy to spot. They were a gift from my sister and have sentimental value, so I’d really appreciate getting them back.

Gray Dell XPS laptop with blue paw sticker

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my gray Dell XPS 13 laptop was missing. I was walking near the Smothers Park fountain along Frederica Street in downtown Owensboro when it disappeared. It’s in a black protective sleeve with a bright blue paw sticker on the outside, and there’s a small dent on the lid from a recent bump. The charger is still tucked inside the sleeve. This laptop means a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother and holds a bunch of family photos. I’m listing it under Appliances & Electronics since it’s a laptop. If anyone found it, drop me a message here — I’d be really grateful to get it back.
