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 Jersey 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 Jersey in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

lost: Equipment for Various Sports

On Friday at 6:15 pm, I realized my Equipment for Various Sports was missing from the field behind Cherry Hill High School West in South Jersey. I had been helping set up for practice and left the gear near the bleachers while I tied my sneakers. When I got back, the bag was gone and the lot looked empty. Inside were gear for several sports: a worn basketball, two tennis rackets, a pair of cleats, and a neon-green practice jersey. I'm anxious about the upcoming weekend scrimmage and worried I won't have the basics if it doesn't turn up. If you found something, please leave a note on the site so I can check it there.

Lost airline item near Atlantic City Boardwalk, South Jersey

I was grabbing a quick coffee near the Steel Pier on the Atlantic City Boardwalk around 9:10 p.m. Tuesday when I realized my airline item had slipped from my bag. I checked the benches, the arcade, and the souvenir stalls from the boardwalk entrance down toward the Tropicana, but the neon lights and crowds made it easy to miss. It’s tied to an upcoming trip, and I’m anxious to recover it so plans can stay on track.

LOST: Toasters near Cherry Hill Mall

Last Friday at 8:15 p.m., I stepped out of the kitchen in my Cherry Hill apartment near the Cherry Hill Mall and found my two toasters missing from the counter. I replay the afternoon and worry someone borrowed them by mistake or they wandered off during the evening. They’re nothing fancy, just reliable two-slice models I use every morning, and losing them has thrown off my routine. If you spotted them around the area between the mall and Crescent Boulevard, please help me bring them home.

Lost brooches by Cherry Hill Mall

Hi, I am Maria Rossi, and on Friday afternoon around 4:15 p.m. I realized my grandmother's silver brooches were missing from my coat pocket as I walked out of Cherry Hill Mall. They are two tiny brooches with green enamel that mean a lot to me. I have been carrying them for years, and losing them felt like losing a piece of family history. If you found them near the main entrance by the food court, I would be grateful to have them back.

Charcoal Nike hoodie with sun embroidery

I lost my charcoal gray Nike zip-up hoodie, size L, yesterday around 4pm. It's casual wear, with a white sun embroidery on the left chest and orange drawstrings that have tiny fray at the ends; I also noticed a small coffee stain near the hem. I had been at the Cherry Hill Mall (Route 38) outside the Barnes & Noble entrance when I last wore it, and I think I dropped it in the parking lot by the entrance. This hoodie means a lot to me—it was a gift from my sister and it has sentimental value; I’m really hoping to get it back!

Lost navy North Face backpack with orange zipper pulls

I lost my navy The North Face Borealis backpack yesterday around 3pm near the Wawa on Route 73 in Marlton, South Jersey. It's a 20L backpack with a reinforced bottom in charcoal gray, bright orange zipper pulls, and a small mountain sticker on the front pocket. Inside I kept a blue spiral notebook and a green pencil case; the initials PD are embroidered on the inside flap. This backpack has sentimental value—it goes with me to class and has photos and notes from a trip last year. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; it means a lot.
