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 Rochester 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 Rochester in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sheet music near Peace Plaza, Rochester

At 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, I realized a folder of sheet music I use for weekly rehearsals was missing from a cafe by Peace Plaza in Rochester. The folder is a light brown leather with a red ribbon bookmark and a few pencil marks on the edge. I’d just left a table to refill my coffee when I set the music down for a moment and someone bumped the chair. I’ve checked the Mayo Clinic campus shops and walked the block around Peace Plaza, but the pages are still nowhere to be found. The music is essential to my students and me, and I’m desperate to recover it and keep practicing. I miss those melodies already.

Lost passports in Rochester, MN

I lost my Passports yesterday. At about 6:15 p.m., I realized they were missing from my bag while I stood near the Mayo Clinic main entrance by Peace Plaza in downtown Rochester. This is stressful with travel plans and tight connections looming. The blue leather sleeve sticks out in my memory, and I hope someone who found them turned them in to a nearby desk or security post around the plaza. I’m trying to stay hopeful and focused on what comes next, hoping a kind finders helped me out in a moment of scramble.

Lost Pins near Peace Plaza

I was walking out of the Mayo Clinic campus toward Peace Plaza around 6:45 PM last Thursday when I realized my pins had slipped from my jacket pocket. They’re two small enamel pins—one shaped like a lighthouse, the other like a star—sentimental reminders from my grandmother. I’ve searched the sidewalks and benches along the creek, but nothing so far. It’s upsetting because these pins feel like a piece of home while I’m here in Rochester.

Lost Chargers near Mayo Clinic, Rochester

This morning around 9:15 AM, I was walking back to my car after coffee near Peace Plaza and the Mayo Clinic campus when I realized my chargers were gone from my backpack. The little black pouch held a phone charger and a spare laptop charger—practical stuff, but essential for my day. The benches outside the Gonda Building were quiet, and the air had that chilly, wet scent you get before a rain shower as people hurried past. If anyone happened to pick them up, I’d be grateful to have them back; they’re just stuff, but they keep me connected during long shifts and classes.

Lost Photographs in Rochester, Minnesota

I lost Photographs in Rochester, Minnesota, United States. Last Friday around 6:15 p.m., I was walking from the Mayo Clinic campus toward the riverfront along 1st Avenue Southwest, near the Gonda Building. The photos are in a small black album, a mix of black-and-white portraits and a few faded color snaps. They feel like a window into my family's history, and I keep thinking about the moment I realized they were gone. I retraced steps past the sculpture garden and the lit crosswalk, but the album never turned up. If someone happened to find a memory keeper with my grandmother's smile peeking out, I would be deeply grateful.

Lost CDs near Mayo Clinic, Rochester

Last Thursday, around 9:15 p.m., I realized my bag of CDs was missing outside the Mayo Clinic campus near Peace Plaza in downtown Rochester. The collection spans rock, jazz, and indie titles, and many of the cases are worn from years of road trips. They’re important to me because they’re tied to memories with family and friends. If someone happened to find a black tote or a handful of CDs in that area around that time, I’d be grateful to reconnect them through the site.
