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 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.

Blue hardcover copy of The Midnight Library

I lost my blue hardcover copy of The Midnight Library by Matt Haig yesterday around 3pm. I think I left it near the Barnes & Noble on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach after grabbing a coffee at the cafe downstairs. The book has a small coffee stain on the back cover and a faded green sticker with my initials 'AR' on the inside front cover. It's really special to me because it was a gift from my sister, and it has sentimental value. If anyone found it, please reach out - I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back.

Red ukulele with pineapple sticker

I lost my red Kala KA-S soprano ukulele yesterday around 3pm near the Lincoln Road Starbucks in Miami Beach. It’s a gloss cherry-red finish with a tiny pineapple sticker on the headstock and a blue woven strap that says 'Surf's Up' along the edge. The black carry case it was in is scuffed and there’s a small dent on the belly where it bumped against a bench. It means a lot to me—my sister gave it to me last year, and playing it helps me unwind after long shifts; I’d be forever grateful if someone who found it could return it to the Lincoln Road security desk or DM me here.
