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 Southeast KS 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 Southeast KS in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

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.

Lost hats near Pittsburg Public Library

I lost my hats this afternoon in Pittsburg around 2:15 PM. I paused near the Pittsburg Public Library steps to adjust a strap on my backpack, and when I looked up, the hats had vanished. They’re three hats: a gray knit beanie with a navy stripe, a black wool cap, and a cream sun hat with a wide brim I bought on a winter trip to a lake. These hats are small, but they mean a lot to me because one was a gift from my grandmother and the other from a trip years ago. If anyone finds them, please let the site know.

LOST: DVDs in Southeast KS

Hi, I’m Grace Ellis. I was in Southeast KS on a weekend trip, and around 4:15 p.m. Friday I realized my DVDs were missing from my tote after browsing the electronics aisle at the Walmart on 4th Street in Pittsburg. I’d stepped outside to grab a snack, and I must have left them on a bench near the entrance. The set is a red plastic case with a white spine, containing a mix of classic sci-fi titles. They aren’t priceless, but they carry memories of nights with friends back home. I’m hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe until I can get them back.

lost student ID in southeast Kansas, near PSU campus

I was at the Pittsburg State University campus bookstore around 3:15 PM on Tuesday when my student ID slipped from my pocket. I retraced the route from the library to the Student Center, checking benches and coat hooks, and asking a few staff, but it was gone. The card isn't just plastic—it carries my photo and my access to the dorm and meals, and losing it left me feeling exposed and worried about identity misuse. If someone found it in the PSU area, I’d be grateful for its return to where it belongs.
