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: Trading Cards in Santa Maria, CA

I realized my trading cards were gone after strolling Old Town Santa Maria around 6:15 PM yesterday. I was near the Santa Maria Public Library steps, probably left them on a bench by the fountain while I browsed with friends. The set includes a mix of childhood favorites and a few rare picks my grandfather handed down, so they’re special to me. If they turn up, they’d mean the world to me.

Lost: Radios in Santa Maria

I was walking along the Santa Maria Riverwalk near the Santa Maria Public Library's west entrance around 7:15 p.m. Friday when my two handheld radios were missing from my backpack. They’re small, black, and the kind I rely on for coordinating volunteers during events. I must have left them on a bench by the library. A wave of frustration mixed with relief—frustration at losing them, relief at the possibility someone honest found them.

Lost medication near a Santa Maria coffee shop

Hi, I'm Maria Lopez. I lost my medication this afternoon after leaving the Santa Maria Public Library around 4:15 PM. The bottle is small, white with a light-blue cap, and the label has peeled a bit; my initials 'ML' are on the cap. I rely on this daily, and I'm anxious about the next refill and missing doses. I searched around the library entrance and the nearby benches by the fountain on the 100 block of S. Broadway. If you found something that matches, please reach out through the site so I can pick it up at the library desk.

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.
