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 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.

Blue plush dinosaur toy with orange belly

I lost my blue plush dinosaur toy yesterday around 3pm near the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester. It's about 12 inches tall, with soft blue fur, an orange belly, and a stitched smile, plus a green paw tag that says 'Dino Buddies'. One eye looks a bit off because it's been loved a lot, and there's a tiny white scratch on the back. This little guy was a gift from my sister and means a lot to my 6-year-old, so we really need it back—if you found it, please drop a note here and we can arrange a pickup near Market Street or East Avenue.

Silver hoop earrings with sapphire drop

I lost my silver hoop earrings yesterday around 3pm near the Eastman Theatre on Gibbs Street in Rochester. They’re small—about a centimeter in diameter—with a delicate blue sapphire drop on one hoop and a subtle zigzag pattern along the edge. The other hoop has a tiny engraving, 'KP,' on the back. They were a gift from my mom and mean a lot to me; I really need to find them. If you’ve seen them around the library or the coffee shop by the theater, please reach out. I’d be forever grateful to get them back.

Bearded dragon lost near East Ave by River Campus

I lost my bearded dragon this afternoon around 3pm near East Avenue by the River Campus in Rochester. It's about 6 inches long, sandy orange with darker crossbands along the back, and it usually sits on a warm branch. It was in a blue plastic travel terrarium with a black handle and a small heat lamp; the terrarium lid has a small crack along the edge. Unique features: a small white scar under its chin and a blue dot near the base of the tail. This dragon means a lot to me—it was a gift from my daughter, and I’m really hoping someone who finds it can help bring it home.

Red Le Creuset 3-qt pot with lid, lost

I lost my red Le Creuset 3-quart pot yesterday around 3pm near the Rochester Public Market on North Union Street. It's the bright red enamel with a glossy surface, and the lid has a black knob; there’s a tiny chip on the outer rim near the handle from a previous drop. This pot has seen countless family meals—it's my go-to for stews and chili—and it really means a lot to me because it was a housewarming gift from my aunt. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back; it feels like part of my kitchen story.
