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 South Dakota 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 South Dakota in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

lost lamps in South Dakota

Hi, I'm Emma Larson. I lost a pair of decorative lamps during a move in South Dakota. I left them on the front steps of my apartment around 6:30 p.m. on Friday, near Main Street, and by the time I got back they were gone from the curb. The lamps have cream ceramic bases with teal glaze and brass trim; one shade is cracked. They were a sentimental gift from my grandmother, and they've lit up my living room for years. I’m hoping someone saw them and might remember where they ended up.

Lost shirts after Sioux Falls fundraiser

Hi, I'm Ava Mitchell. I lost a bundle of shirts after a school fundraiser at Falls Park in Sioux Falls, around 5:45 p.m. last Friday. I left them in a blue tote on the bench beside the carousel by the river walk, and I must have moved on to thank a volunteer when a gust blew through and knocked the tote onto the ground. The shirts are from our charity drive—gray with a red cross logo and a slogan. I'm feeling a mix of worry and hope; those shirts represent the kids who donated, and I’d love to recover them.

Lost toasters from my kitchen.

I woke up this morning in my apartment near Falls Park in Sioux Falls around 7:30 AM and realized my two toasters were missing from the kitchen counter. I had just started a pot of coffee when the drawer where I store small appliances should have been closed, but the toasters were gone. I can picture the shiny chrome sitting on the counter last night and wonder if they slipped into the hallway by the building elevator. If you spotted them in the lobby or in the laundry room along East 10th Street, please let me know through the site.

Lost holiday decorations near Falls Park, Sioux Falls

At 8:30 pm last Sunday, I was stringing holiday decorations on the porch of my house on 9th Street in Sioux Falls when a gust knocked them loose and I can't locate them. The 'holiday decorations' include a handmade star, silver garland, and a few heirloom ornaments that carry memories for our family. I’m devastated because these decorations mark our celebrations every year, and I worry they might be lost for good if someone doesn’t spot them. If you’ve seen anything nearby Falls Park or around the porch, please leave a note on the site; I’ll find them, and we’ll be grateful for the help.

Lost adapters near Falls Park, Sioux Falls.

I lost my adapters after a quick walk through Falls Park around 3:30 p.m. last Saturday. They’re a compact gray set with two USB-C and two micro-USB adapters, tucked into a zip pouch with a spare charging cable. I’d taken a short loop along the river to clear my head, then I tucked the pouch into my backpack before crossing the Liberty Bridge for a coffee at a nearby cafe. When I checked again, the pouch was gone in the light drizzle and the park crowds had thinned. These adapters are essential for keeping my travel gear powered on the road, and I’d be grateful to have them returned.

Amber-finish violin with dented back and blue bow

I lost my amber-finish handmade violin yesterday around 3pm near Falls Park in Sioux Falls, along N Phillips Ave by the SculptureWalk entrance. It's a spruce-top violin with a maple back and ebony fittings, finished in a warm amber varnish that catches the light. There’s a small dent on the lower bout and a faint scratch along the scroll, and the bow has a bright blue grip. The case is a well-worn brown tweed zipper case, and inside the lid there’s a tiny sticker with my initials 'A.P.' on it. This violin means a lot to me—it was a gift from my late mentor and I really need it back to keep practicing. If someone found it, please email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup downtown.
