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 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.

Medium black-and-white dog with red collar

I lost my medium-sized dog yesterday around 3pm near Falls Park on Main Street in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He's a black-and-white mixed breed with a bright red collar and a small silver tag bearing my phone number, plus a heart-shaped white patch on his chest; one ear flops while the other stands up. He's friendly but a bit wary in crowds, and this dog means so much to my family—he's been with us since last winter and the kids are worried. If you’ve seen him, please email me at [email protected]; I’d really appreciate any info or a safe place to meet.

Missing 12-year-old boy in red hoodie near Sioux Falls

I’m really worried—my 12-year-old son Kai Patel went missing yesterday around 3pm. We last saw him near Falls Park by North Phillips Avenue in Sioux Falls after we stopped for coffee at a little stand outside the gift shop. He was wearing a bright red hoodie with a small black skull graphic on the front, dark jeans, and neon green sneakers. He also has a blue backpack with a tiger patch and a green star sticker on the strap. If anyone has seen him, please call me immediately; he has sentimental value to our family and I really need to bring him home safely.

Lost blue-tinted contact lens near Falls Park

I was out walking yesterday around 3pm near Falls Park's North Main entrance in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, when I realized I dropped one of my contact lenses. It's a single Acuvue Oasys lens, clear in the center with a faint blue tint along the outer edge. The lens is tiny, about the size of a pinhead, and I even noticed a tiny micro-scratch on the outer rim that might help someone spot it if they picked it up. If someone finds it, it would mean a lot to me to get it back—I rely on it for daily vision and comfort, and losing it makes everything blur.

Nintendo Switch OLED with neon Joy-Cons — lost

I lost my Nintendo Switch OLED yesterday around 3pm after I grabbed a coffee near the Empire Mall on 41st Street in Sioux Falls. It's the white dock edition with neon red/blue Joy-Cons attached, tucked inside a black protective case with a small panda sticker on the front. The screen is in good condition, but there's a tiny scratch along the top edge near the power button, and I keep a 128GB microSD card inside. This console is a gift from my sister and it really means a lot to me—I miss it and would be so grateful to get it back.
