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 Reno / Tahoe 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 Reno / Tahoe in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost passport in Reno near Virginia Street Arch

Hi, I’m Maya Thompson, and I’m freaking out about my passport. I was leaving the Riverwalk area downtown Reno around 6:15 p.m. last Saturday, walking toward the parking garage by the river, and I must have dropped it somewhere along the sidewalk near the Virginia Street Arch. It’s a blue passport inside a black cover, tucked in a small navy pouch I carry every day. I have a trip in two weeks, and being without it makes everything feel uncertain—if someone found it, I’d be beyond grateful.

Lost Violins near Wingfield Park, Reno

Yesterday at 4:30 p.m., I wrapped up a quick street recital and left my two violins in their cases on a bench by Wingfield Park along the Truckee River in Reno. The cases are a bit scuffed, with my initials scratched in silver. When I turned back, they were gone. Those violins belonged to my grandmother and carried us through our first real duet, and I am praying someone found them and kept them safe.

Lost holiday decorations in Reno–Tahoe area.

I was stringing lights on the porch around 7:15 PM on December 18, near the Reno Arch on Virginia Street. A gust knocked a box from the railing and I must have left it behind in the scramble to get the lights on. Inside were holiday decorations—the tinsel garland, a ceramic snowman, and a few heirloom ornaments from my grandma. I felt a knot of panic as the streetlights turned gold and I realized I might not see them again. If anyone saw a box by the Arch, please help me bring a piece of home back.

Lost stamps near Reno Arch

I’ve been sorting through a small stamp collection that belonged to my grandfather, and I’m heartbroken to realize the stamps are missing. They were in a glassine envelope tucked in my coat pocket when I stopped for coffee near the Reno Arch on Virginia Street around 9:30 a.m. today. The envelope is plain and a bit worn, but inside are a few old issues that carry family memories more valuable than any price tag. I’d give anything to have them back where they belong; they’re not just stamps, they’re pieces of our history.
