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 Missouri 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 Missouri in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost trading cards in SE Missouri

Last night around 7:45 p.m., I realized my binder of trading cards was missing from my backpack after I helped set up at the Cape Girardeau riverfront park. The binder held a mix of baseball cards and a few holographic chase cards from my grandfather's stash, a sentimental collection I've guarded since I was a kid. I retraced every step along the riverfront, checked the Cape Girardeau Library parking lot, and scanned the Market Street Market booth area, but I came up empty. If someone found it, I'd be incredibly grateful to get it back; those cards carry memories I can't replace.

Lost holiday decorations in Southeast Missouri

On the night of December 8, I was loading up my truck with holiday decorations after a small family gathering. A gust knocked the tailgate and my wreath and string lights tumbled onto the pavement near Cape Girardeau's Town Square around 9:00 p.m. I chased after them along Main Street toward the riverfront, but they vanished into the shadowy storefronts. The lot included a red ribbon, a woven garland, and a wreath with a small pinecone center—the kind my grandmother helped me assemble every year. It’s not just stuff; it’s a memory I want to bring back to our home.

Lost GPS devices near Cape Girardeau Riverfront Park

On Thursday evening, around 7:15, I realized my GPS devices were missing from my backpack after I paused to snap a photo by the Cape Girardeau Riverfront Park. I had been riding the Riverfront Trail and bumped the bag when a cyclist whizzed by. The two devices are small, black with a gray protective case and a bright orange lanyard. I rely on them for long hikes and last-minute road trips, so losing them feels like losing my compass. I retraced the path from the river overlook to the boat launch, but the warm breeze and chatter of the park still haunt me a little.

Lost Equipment for Various Sports in Southeast Missouri

Friday afternoon around 4:00 p.m., I was at Capaha Park in Cape Girardeau, getting a quick practice in when my equipment for various sports vanished from the bench by the tennis courts. The bag is a worn black duffel with a lime-green zipper, and inside are a basketball, shin guards, and a few baseball gloves I carry for weekend pickup games. I stepped away for a moment to tie a shoelace at the nearby shelter, and when I returned the bag was gone. I’m feeling unsettled and frustrated, because those items aren’t just gear — they mean time, effort, and memories; please help if you saw it nearby.

Lost sheet music from my practice folder near Riverfront Park.

I was leaving rehearsal around 4:20 PM on Tuesday, and I must've set my sheet music down by the Riverfront Park gazebo along Broadway in Cape Girardeau. The blue folder holds piano and violin parts, with pencil edits in the margins and a sticky note that says 'For SEMO concert.' Those pieces are my weekly practice, and the pages carry months of effort. Losing it feels like misplacing a part of my routine and a reminder of how fragile plans can be. If it surfaces anywhere, I’d be incredibly grateful to hear about it.

DeWalt 20V drill with two batteries

I lost my DeWalt 20V max cordless drill yesterday around 3pm near the Home Depot on Kingshighway in Cape Girardeau, Southeast Missouri. It's the yellow and black model with two 4Ah batteries and a gray hard case; the drill has a small dent on the chuck and a belt clip on the side. It was a gift from my dad, so it has sentimental value and I really need it back to finish a weekend project. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can sort out a pickup.
