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 Southwest Michigan 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 Southwest Michigan in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost document holders near Bronson Park, Kalamazoo.

I lost a set of document holders this afternoon around 5:15 p.m. near Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo. The black folders held receipts, an important notebook, and a few pages from a grant application—things I need for work and a personal project. I was rushing from a coffee shop to a meeting and must have left them on a bench or in the walkway. If anyone picked them up, I’d really appreciate the return through this posting.

Lost puppies near Bronson Park, Kalamazoo

On Saturday around 3:45 p.m., I was strolling near Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo when my two puppies slipped away from me and disappeared into the crowd. They’re small: one cream-colored with a white chest, the other darker with a tiny tan patch near the eye, and neither has a collar. I’ve retraced the path, asked people at the park, and checked nearby alleys, but no sign of them yet. My kids are counting on me to bring them home, and I’m feeling the ache of worry with every passing jogger.

Lost: DVDs in Southwest Michigan

I was leaving Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo around 7:15 p.m. on Friday after a community movie night and realized my stack of DVDs wasn’t in my bag. They’re in a black plastic case with a blue sticker that reads Family Classics. They aren’t just movies to me; they’re comfort after a long week, and I’m anxious to have them back. The titles remind me of evenings with friends, and I’d hate for them to be lost forever. If someone picked them up nearby, please consider returning them so I can share the stories again.

Lost Power Tools in Southwest Michigan

I realized around 7:25 PM that my Power Tools were missing after finishing a fence project in Kalamazoo's downtown area, near Bronson Park, in Southwest Michigan. The set includes a green drill, a sturdy black toolbox, and a handful of chisels; they were last seen near Bronson Park's West Lot around that time. I retraced my steps from the hardware store on West Michigan Avenue to the park, calling out doors and checking the busy streets, but they didn't turn up. I’m hoping someone picked them up and will return them to the local Lost & Found, because these tools are essential for the work I have lined up this week.

Lost: Travel adapters in Kalamazoo's Bronson Park

I was at Kalamazoo's Bronson Park around 9:15 pm yesterday when I realized my travel adapters were missing from my backpack. They’re the gray, compact kind that plug into European sockets, tucked in a small zipper pouch and a bit scuffed from travel. I scanned the park's benches and the bandstand area near the fountain, but I couldn't find them. I worry I won't be able to recharge devices on my trip unless they turn up, and I hope someone who found them can help by posting here.

Lost Driver's License near Bronson Park, Kalamazoo

Last night around 9:45 p.m., I realized my driver's license was missing while I walked home from a game near Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo. I retraced along Michigan Avenue, past the glow of streetlamps and the riverwalk, but the license didn't turn up. Losing it has me anxious about today’s errands and ID checks, and I keep replaying where I might have set it down. If someone found it, I hope you can help me return it by letting the site know.
