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 Florida 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 Florida in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost carry-ons near Fort Lauderdale airport

I lost my carry-ons on Friday at 9:30 p.m. at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. I’d just deplaned and the baggage claim around Terminal 3 was chaotic with travelers and clattering trolleys. A black rolling suitcase with a red strap and a small gray backpack disappeared from the carousel as I reached for my bag. Inside are my work documents, a photo album, and a few daily meds—things I truly need every day. I panicked, retraced my steps through the crowd, and asked at the baggage desk, but nothing turned up. If you spotted them, please flag it on the site so I can start getting things sorted and keep calm for tomorrow.

Lost rabbits in South Florida

On Sunday around 5:30 p.m., I realized my rabbits were missing from my condo yard along Ocean Drive in South Beach. Pepper, a tiny gray bunny with a white tail, and Sprout, a fluffy white one with a shy hop, are part of our family and the kids are devastated. I've searched the courtyard, checked the pool area, and called around to nearby buildings from Lincoln Road to South Pointe Park, but they're still gone. If anyone has seen them or had them brought in, I'd be so grateful to know they're safe.

Lost my toasters near Bayfront Park, South Florida.

Friday around 6:15 p.m., I was leaving a friend’s condo near Bayside Marketplace, walking toward Bayfront Park in downtown Miami when I realized my two toasters weren’t in the tote I’d been carrying. I must have set them down somewhere along the walkway between the parking lot and the park entrance. They’re plain stainless steel two-slice models, nothing fancy, but they’re mine and I use them every week. I’m hoping someone hands them in or sees this post and helps reunite us.

Lost saxophones on South Beach Lincoln Road

I wrapped up a quick rehearsal in South Beach and stepped out onto Lincoln Road around 2:20 p.m. Saturday with two saxophones tucked in a dark blue case. I set the case down by a bench near a snack cart while I tightened my coat, and when I looked back they were gone. Those saxophones carried years of memories and a gift from my grandfather, and I’m desperate to recover them before the next gig. If anyone saw them, please help me get back what keeps my music alive.

Lost stamps from my collection near Lincoln Road

I was sorting through my stamp album at 6:15 PM on Friday near Lincoln Road as the sun dipped behind the palm trees. A small red tin with my grandmother's initials slipped from my bag and vanished among the foot traffic and bright storefronts. My heart aches thinking of the stories those stamps carry—it's like a piece of her is missing when I can't find them. If someone picked them up anywhere along Lincoln Road or by the kiosks, I’d be grateful to know they’re safe.

Lost holiday decorations near Lincoln Road Mall, Miami Beach

I was tidying up after a small holiday gathering at my condo around 8:15 PM last night, near Lincoln Road Mall in Miami Beach. The decorations were in a clear plastic tote—garlands with red bows, some tinsel, and a framed ornament—things I planned to use for a community event. When I looked back, the tote had vanished from the doorway and a cold breeze felt like a warning. Losing them hits hard because they were a symbol of our neighborhood's festive spirit, and I'm hopeful someone picked them up and will return them where they belong.
