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 Springfield 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 Springfield in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost pins near Old State Capitol, Springfield, IL

I lost a small set of pins from my lapel and I can't find them anywhere. It was around 6:45 PM on Tuesday as I walked past the Old State Capitol on Adams Street, heading toward the Lincoln Library, when I noticed they were gone from my gray wool coat. The pins are tiny: one brass circle with blue enamel, and a little silver pin shaped like a maple leaf. I retraced my steps from the cafe outside the capitol to the corner by the park, asking nearby shoppers if someone had seen them, but no one did. They were a gift from my grandmother and they remind me of home; I’m really hoping someone picked them up safe and can reunite them with me.

Black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket with satin lapels

I lost my black Calvin Klein tuxedo, size 40R, including the matching trousers and a slim bow tie. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm outside the Springfield Grand Theater on Main Street, near the curb by the valet booth. The jacket has satin peak lapels and a faint coffee stain on the left sleeve, plus an embroidered initials 'JAS' in silver thread on the inner lining pocket. It felt like it’s the only formal wear I own for a big event this weekend, and it was a gift from my late grandmother, so I’m really hoping it turns up. If anyone found it, please text or email me and I’ll meet you to reclaim it.

Brown beagle mix with red collar

I lost my brown beagle mix yesterday around 3pm near the Riverfront Park gazebo on Jefferson Ave in Springfield. He’s a medium-sized dog, about 25 pounds, with brown fur and a white chest, plus a distinctive white patch on his left hind leg. He wears a bright red collar with a silver heart-shaped tag and a small blue harness with reflective stripes. He answers to the name Milo and is very friendly once he gets to know you, but he’s shy around strangers. My daughter adores him and I’m really worried—this dog is part of our family and has sentimental value to us. If anyone sees him or has him, please reach out; we’d be grateful to reunite him with Milo soon.

Blue Spalding basketball with orange trim

I lost my blue Spalding basketball yesterday around 3pm in front of the East Springfield Community Center by Oak Street. It’s a size 7 outdoor ball, a bit worn from seasons of use, with a few scuffs and a faded logo. There’s a small white scratch near the seam and a tiny pebble dent on the orange panel that makes it squeak when I dribble. It really matters to me because I use it for weekend pickup games with my neighborhood crew, and I was counting on it for practice tonight. If anyone picked it up or saw it near the library entrance by the center, please let me know—I’d be grateful to get it back.
