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 Southern Maryland 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 Southern Maryland in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost flute near Solomons Island lighthouse

I was practicing along the Solomons Island boardwalk by the lighthouse around 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my flute was missing from my bag. I had set the case on a bench while I checked my notes, and in a blink it vanished. The instrument is a silver student flute with a small dent on the lip plate, and a blue cleaning rod sits in the case. The boardwalk was busy with sunset silhouettes and boats slipping by; the salt air smelled like fried seafood from a nearby shack. This flute is tied to memories of performances in Southern Maryland, and I’m hoping a kind passerby can return it through the site.

Carry-ons lost in Southern Maryland

I lost my carry-ons this Saturday around 11:20 a.m. in the Solomons Island area of Southern Maryland. I had just pulled into the parking lot near the Solomons Island Lighthouse after a brief stop at the Calvert Marine Museum, when a car door slammed and the bags slipped from view. They’re a black rolling suitcase and a red duffel, both a bit scuffed but intact, with a TSA tag on the rolling one. Those bags hold my travel outfits and important documents for a family visit, and I’m hoping they turn up before I miss my plans.

Lost Action Figures near Calvert Marine Museum

I lost my action figures after helping load groceries on Saturday evening. It was around 7:45 p.m. and the parking lot by the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons was coming alive with neighbors. I had them in a blue tote beside the car, and I stepped briefly to chat with a friend, and when I looked back, the tote was gone. Those figures were handed down from my grandfather and mean a lot to me, so if you happened to find a small collection with a bright red cape and a cracked battle-damaged helmet, please keep them safe. I would be grateful to be reunited with them.

Lost stamps at Solomons Island boardwalk

At 6:45 p.m. last Friday, I was walking along the Solomons Island boardwalk after sunset, sorting a small envelope in my tote. I realized my grandfather's stamps—an old blue envelope—had disappeared from the bag. They mean the world to me; they connect me to stories from the 1960s. I must have dropped them near the benches by the lighthouse viewpoint, or perhaps outside the bait shop by the water's edge. If someone found them, please know they’re treasured and belong with me.

Lost: Handheld and console at Solomons Island

Friday around 6:20 p.m., I was at the Solomons Island boardwalk with friends and set my handheld device and a small home console on a bench near the lighthouse while we grabbed a bite. When we circled back at 6:50 p.m. to take a sunset photo, they were gone. The handheld is a blue Nintendo 3DS with a dented corner, and the console is a slim gray Switch Lite I’ve had since college. These devices aren’t just gadgets; they’re where I unwind after busy days by the bay and weekend trips to St. Mary’s County. If you found them or moved them for safekeeping, please let me know through the site.

Lost Sculptures near Solomons Island Lighthouse

I left three small sculptures on a bench by the Solomons Island Lighthouse boardwalk around 3:15 PM on Saturday, October 5, and by the time I turned back they were gone. The pieces are about six inches tall, ceramic with pale blue glazes, each on a dark wooden base—one a fisherman, one a lighthouse keeper, one a seagull. They were a gift from my grandmother, a reminder of sunny afternoons by the Patuxent River, and I’m sick with worry at the thought of them being picked up by someone who doesn’t understand their meaning.
