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 Phoenix 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 Phoenix in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Xylophones missing near downtown Phoenix after class.

I was packing up after a small community music class near 7th Street and Van Buren around 3:30 pm yesterday when I realized my xylophones were missing from the storage rack. I retraced the block toward Roosevelt Row and checked the carport behind the building, but nothing turned up. They’re two bright wooden xylophones with painted edges and one dented bar; the mallets are bright red. This means a lot to the kids I teach, and I’m hoping someone who saw something near the Phoenix Public Library or along Central Avenue kept them safe.

Lost Breeds in central Phoenix

Hi there, I’m Grace. I realized around 8:15 PM on Tuesday that my Breeds binder wasn’t on the bench where I left it during a quick stop near the light rail stop at 3rd Street and Van Buren in Phoenix. I had stepped away to help a neighbor with some errands, and when I got back it was gone. Inside the binder are notes, sketches, and labels for a community project I’ve been building about dog breeds, and losing it hits hard. I’m hoping someone found it and turned it in—if you did, please keep it safe; it means a lot to me.

Lost Radios in Phoenix, AZ

I lost my radios after a late studio session in Phoenix. At around 9:20 p.m. last Tuesday, I left a small studio on 7th Street in the Roosevelt Row Arts District, just west of Roosevelt, beside the light rail line. I set them on the hood of my car while I tightened a loose connector, and when I looked again they were gone. They’re two compact portable radios in a black carrying case; one is teal with a chipped edge, the other gray and a bit scuffed. They’re not priceless, but they power a community radio show I help run, and I miss them.

LOST: Travel Adapters near Downtown Phoenix

I lost my travel adapters downtown around 8:45 PM yesterday, probably left on a chair outside the Phoenix Art Museum along Central Ave. I spent the next hour retracing my steps, hands a bit shaky, hoping I hadn’t left them in a cab or a café. The adapters are silver, tucked inside a gray zip case with a bright blue Travel sticker—these are essential for my trip next week. If you happened to find them, I’d be grateful to know they’re safe; I’m really hoping this listing helps.

Lost CDs near Phoenix Art Museum

Hi, I’m Mia Carter. I lost my CDs this afternoon around 4:15 pm after leaving a cafe near the Phoenix Art Museum. I was crossing 3rd Street toward Van Buren when I realized the tote felt lighter and the blue plastic case with a desert-sunset sticker was missing. Inside are a few indie rock discs and a travel mix that means a lot to me. It’s a small thing, but those songs pull together memories of road trips and late-night drives. If you found a blue case near Central Ave and McDowell, please get in touch.

Lost: Holiday Decorations

On Sunday evening, around 6:45 p.m., I realized my holiday decorations were missing from the back seat of my car after unloading groceries in the parking lot behind the Phoenix Public Market, near 3rd Street and Washington. The box held string lights, a garland, and a red ribbon that belonged to my grandmother. They aren’t valuable, but they carry memories of holidays at home, and the empty house just doesn’t feel right without them. I’d be overjoyed to see them returned.
