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 devices in Southern Maryland

I realized around 6:15 p.m. on Thursday that my devices were missing from the bench near the Calvert County Courthouse, along Solomons Island Road in Southern Maryland. The pile included a tablet, a small laptop, and a charger; they were in a black tote with a distinctive red strap. I had stopped to stretch my legs after a long drive from Lexington Park, and I remember leaving the tote on the bench while I checked a map. It’s hard to stay calm when your work depends on those devices, so I’m hoping they’ve been found and kept safe around the Solomons Island Boardwalk.

Suits missing near Solomons Island Boardwalk

Hi, I'm Trevor Collins. I realized yesterday around 4:45 PM that my suits were no longer in my car after I parked near the Solomons Island Boardwalk by the lighthouse. They're in a black garment bag containing a navy blazer, charcoal trousers, and a few shirts. I retraced my steps to the bench near the lighthouse and to the nearby shops but couldn't locate them. This is important because I have interviews this week and a special event coming up, and losing the suits makes me feel unsettled. If someone happened to spot a garment bag with the label 'T. Collins' please help me get it back.

Lost keyboards in La Plata, Southern Maryland

I lost my keyboards during setup after a class at the La Plata Community Center around 6:15 PM last Tuesday. I had them in a black rolling case and was unloading from my car near the entrance that faces Miller Avenue when I realized the keys were gone. There are two keyboards: a compact 61-key model and a larger 88-key model, plus a tiny MIDI pad I used for rehearsal notes. They mean a lot to me; they’re essential for teaching and practice, and I’m anxious to recover them. If you found something that matches this description, please keep them safe.

Lost leashes near Solomons Island dock.

I was walking my dogs along the Solomons Island dock area around 7:50 a.m. today when the two leashes slipped from their harnesses and vanished into the grass by the seawall. The red nylon leash has a reflective stripe, and the navy rope leash has a brass clip. They’re essential for our daily walks, and losing them left us stranded in the chilly morning air. If you spotted them anywhere along the boardwalk near Solomons Island, please keep them safe.

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.
