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 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost student ID near City Hall, Philadelphia

Hi, I’m Grace Thompson. I LOST my student ID this morning, around 9:15 a.m., near City Hall in Center City Philadelphia. I must have dropped it while rushing to a lecture, and I’ve walked the blocks from City Hall to Love Park without finding it. The card is a standard white ID on a blue campus lanyard, with a small campus sticker in the corner. It’s important for class access and attendance, so I’m hoping someone picked it up and turned it in at the campus desk or via the site.

Colecovision console lost; pawned by mom

My dad Edwardtomd DeSalme passed away 4 years ago and my mom passed last year. She may have pawned off his colecovision which was his prized treasure. He was a collector and a player for over 40 years. He took care of every single game. He would put his fire house number address. His home phone number home address. He would also put his social security.She had serious addiction issues which is why she sold certain things.. she had mental health issues. I grew up in Northeast Philadelphia on Grant Avenue. It was like new with the original styrofoam. Unfortunately I never got a photo of it.

lost: hamsters in Philadelphia, PA

Last Friday, around 6:45 PM, I realized my hamsters were missing from their cage after I got home near Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. They were last seen slipping behind the bench by Love Park, one with a small white patch on his chest and the other with a darker coat. I'm worried about their safety and their little squeaks have become a constant reminder of how easily they slip away. I’ve retraced the route along Market Street and checked the nearby pet stores, but I haven’t found them yet.

Lost Wild and Domestic in Philadelphia

This afternoon around 2:30 p.m., I realized I’d misplaced a small notebook titled Wild and Domestic while wandering through Old City near Independence Mall in Philadelphia. I’d been jotting notes and sketches between a quick coffee stop and a stroll past Independence Hall. It has a tan cover, bold handwriting on the front, and a red elastic band that keeps the pages closed. It holds ideas I was developing about the wild and the domestic, and losing it feels like losing a part of my day. If found, it would mean a lot to have it back in the Independence Mall area.
