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 Santa Maria 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 Santa Maria in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost USB drives near Santa Maria Public Library, 6:20 PM

Yesterday around 6:20 p.m., I realized my USB drives were missing after I left the Santa Maria Public Library on East Cook Street. They aren’t valuable money-wise, but they hold a year’s worth of work and a handful of family photos I can’t replace. I retraced my steps along Cook Street toward Main Street and checked the library entrance, the coffee shop across the way, and the plaza by the fountain, but I didn’t find them. I’m anxious about losing those backups and hope whoever picked them up will pass them on.

LOST travel adapters near Santa Maria Public Library.

At 9:15 a.m. today, I realized my travel adapters were missing from my gray carry pouch after I grabbed coffee at the Santa Maria Public Library. I’d been charging a laptop and phone near a back window when I packed up and must have left the pouch on a chair. The set includes two USB-C adapters and a universal plug, all in a small gray pouch that zips shut. Those adapters are essential for my trip, and I’m hoping a kind soul found them and kept them safe. If you’ve seen them, I’d really appreciate their return.

Black Samsonite 24-inch suitcase with red tag

I lost my black Samsonite 24-inch suitcase yesterday around 3pm outside the Starbucks on Main Street in Santa Maria. It's a hard-shell polycarbonate case with a matte finish, a few scrapes on the corner, and a bright red TSA combination lock. Inside the lining is bright red, and I always keep a blue world-map sticker on the inside lid; there's also a small green scarf peeking out from the zipper pocket. A leather luggage tag with my initials PP is attached, and I tucked a few sentimental photos and a travel-sized camera inside. This suitcase holds my work wardrobe and a couple of personal items; it's really important I get it back.

Blue contact lens case with AR initials

I lost my blue silicone contact lens case yesterday around 3pm near the Santa Maria Public Library on South Broadway. It holds two lenses with the same prescription, and the case is marked with the initials 'AR' on the bottom. The case is translucent blue with a small dent on the lid and a coffee stain on the inside from yesterday’s latte, so it's easy to spot. I wear daily contacts, and losing it disrupts my routine; the case was a gift from my sister last year, so it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back to me at [email protected].

Seiko 5 Sports watch, black dial, blue strap

I lost a Seiko 5 Sports watch yesterday around 3pm. It's a stainless steel case with a black dial, white luminous hands, and a blue fabric strap with orange stitching; there's a small dent on the left lug and a tiny scratch near the date window at 3 o'clock. I last saw it near the Santa Maria Town Center on South Broadway, in the parking lot by Starbucks. It was a graduation gift from my aunt and means a lot to me, so I’d really appreciate it if someone spotted it and could drop it off at the Santa Maria Police Department so I can pick it up.
