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 Quad Cities 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 Quad Cities in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

lost: Shoes in Quad Cities near LeClaire Park

I lost my Shoes during a late afternoon walk in the Quad Cities, Iowa, United States, around 4:10 pm today near LeClaire Park in Davenport. I stopped to take photos by the river and when I stood up again, one shoe was gone. They’re black sneakers with white soles and a small tear on the toe, nothing fancy but they were my go-to for work. Fingers crossed someone picks them up and returns them, because I honestly miss them more than I’d admit.

Lost medication near riverfront in the Quad Cities

7:45 a.m. at LeClaire Park along the Mississippi River in Davenport, I realized my daily medication bottle was missing. I walked the river path toward the museum and back, hoping it had simply slipped into my bag or dropped somewhere obvious. The bottle is small, white with a blue label, and I rely on it every day; losing it makes my stomach churn with anxiety. I circled the benches by the riverfront and glanced along the pedestrian bridge, praying someone nearby had found it and kept it safe.

Lost pocket watches near LeClaire Park, Davenport

While strolling along the Mississippi River at LeClaire Park in Davenport around 5:50 p.m. Saturday, I realized my pocket watches were missing from my coat pocket. One is a silver heirloom with a small dent near the hinge, the other a newer stainless piece with a black face. I retraced the riverfront path along the Mississippi from LeClaire Park toward the old freight house, but I came up empty. I’m hoping someone picked them up and will return them so the family can keep its stories ticking.

Lost Student ID near riverfront, Quad Cities

I was heading back to my car after a campus event on Saturday at 4:15 PM, near the Figge Art Museum in downtown Davenport. I must have dropped my student ID while weaving through a crowd by the river. It’s more than a card to me—it's my access and a little piece of my school routine. The lanyard is dark blue with a small school logo on the back. If someone turned it in to the site, that would mean the world to me.

Lost sheet music in Quad Cities, Iowa

Late Friday around 5:45 PM, I was practicing at LeClaire Park in Davenport when a gust of wind tore the pages loose from my binder. I must have left it on a bench near the park’s carousel. The binder is black with a bright red spine and a tiny piano sticker. It holds an original arrangement I’m finishing for a recital and a few personal notes I can’t replace. If anyone found a sheet music binder lying around LeClaire Park, please keep it safe—these pieces are important to me and I’d be so grateful to have them back.

LOST: Microwaves near downtown Quad Cities

Two microwaves disappeared from my apartment during a move, and I last saw them around 7:45 PM on Tuesday behind the Market Street loading dock in downtown Davenport, part of the Quad Cities. One is white with a dent on the door, the other black with a chipped handle. They’re heavy enough that a quick grab-and-go wouldn’t have been easy to miss. I rely on them for late dinners after long shifts, and the thought of replacing them hurts. If you saw a pair of microwaves near the riverfront or by the loading dock around Market Street, I would be grateful for any sighting.
