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.

  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 Southeast KS in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Tank Accessories in Parsons, KS

On Friday around 7:15 p.m., I realized I’d misplaced my tank accessories while I was leaving the coffee shop on Main Street in Parsons. The items are a small, clear plastic toolbox with a red lid—inside are decal sheets, tiny screws, and a spare brush head I rely on for my model tanks. I had set the box on the tailgate of my pickup while I chatted with a friend in the Parsons City Park parking lot, and when I turned back it was gone. I’ve walked the sidewalks from Main Street to the park, hoping someone picked it up and kept it safe until I could claim it.

Lost stamps in Fort Scott area of Southeast Kansas

I was sorting through a small stamp book yesterday around 3:15 PM at the Fort Scott Post Office on Main Street when I realized a packet of stamps was missing. The stamps are a mix of a few commemoratives and some family favorites from my grandfather's collection, tucked into a tan envelope with a blue wax seal. I retraced my steps through the storefront area and along the sidewalk toward the Fort Scott National Historic Site, but I couldn't find a trace of them. They mean a lot to me, and I hope someone nearby picked them up and kept them safe until they could be returned.

Lost rabbits near Pittsburg Farmers Market

I lost two pet rabbits, a white doe with a black ear patch and a gray buck with a white belly, during a Friday evening in Pittsburg. I was walking my dogs along Main Street near the Pittsburg Farmers Market around 6:45 p.m. when they slipped from their carrier and darted into the hedges by the old railway depot. The night air smelled of hay and rain, and the market lights flickered as I called their names, feeling a mix of worry and hope. I just want them back safe at home where they belong.

Lost holiday decorations near PSU campus library

On Friday at 7:15 PM I was wrapping up a small setup for our family’s holiday display and left a tote of decorations in the backseat of my car outside Pittsburg State University library lawn. When I returned, the tote and several cherished ornaments were gone. These are heirloom pieces from my grandmother and they anchor our holiday memories; losing them feels personal and painful. If anyone saw a tote unattended near the PSU library area that evening, I’d be grateful for any info. I’m hoping these memories can be brought back home.

Lost drones near Pittsburg riverfront

I was filming a nature piece at Pittsburg Riverfront Park in southeast Kansas around 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, and my two drones disappeared from a bench near the walking path. The bigger drone is gray with a black camera housing; the smaller one is blue with orange prop guards. I had them set up for a quick take, and I stepped away to adjust a lens for two minutes. When I looked back, they were gone. These machines are essential for the after-school program I run with kids from Pittsburg State University, teaching basic photography and video. I'm devastated to lose them, and I'd be grateful for any sighting near the Bicknell Center or along the riverfront trail.

LOST utensils near Riverside Park

I left my everyday utensils—two forks, a wooden spoon, and a metal spatula—in a tote by the picnic table at Riverside Park on Main Street in Parsons, Southeast Kansas. It was Friday, 6:45 pm, after I helped clean up after a small family cookout. The wind gusted and I must have left the tote on the table under the yellow canopy near Shelter 4. These utensils are ordinary, but the wooden spoon belonged to my grandmother, and I’ve been thinking about them since. I keep replaying the moment in my head, hoping someone who was at the park that evening might remember the tote and kept it safe.
