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 USB drives in Springfield, Missouri

Today at 9:20 a.m., I realized my two USB drives were missing after a quick coffee run near the Jordan Valley Park fountain. One drive holds family photos from the last decade, the other contains a work presentation and notes. They’re in a small black case, a bit scratched from travel. I must have dropped them on the grass or between benches near the Library Center area. They matter to me a lot.

Lost medication bottle in downtown Springfield

I felt a knot in my stomach at 7:45 p.m. yesterday when I realized my purse was lighter and my medication bottle was missing after I stepped out of Moonlight Café on Chestnut Street in downtown Springfield. I retraced my steps along the brick storefronts toward Phelps Grove Park, but the bottle didn’t turn up. The bottle has a blue cap and a white label that catches the light when I tilt it, and I’m anxious about missing a dose. Those pills keep my mornings steady, and I can’t afford a long, uncertain search to replace them.

Lost handheld and console in Springfield, MO

I was heading home after a late shift and grabbed a quick coffee around 8:15 p.m. in downtown Springfield, near Park Central Square. I must have left my handheld game console and a smaller device in a black protective case on a bench near the fountain outside the coffee shop. They’re how I unwind after long days, and I’m really hoping someone picked them up and kept them safe. If they’re found around the square, I’d be grateful to have them back where they belong.

Lost student ID on MSU campus, Springfield

Hi there, I’m Liam Bennett. I misplaced my student ID on the Missouri State University campus around 3:40 p.m. today, near the Plaster Student Union and the campus bookstore by Cherry Street. The lanyard is blue with a small white name tag and the MSU logo; the card itself is plain but essential for access to classrooms and my dorm. I’ve checked the library, the Student Union, and the bus stops along Elm Street, but no luck yet. If it turns up anywhere around MSU’s campus, please hold onto it for me.

Lost passports near Lambert's Cafe, Springfield

Yesterday afternoon around 2:40 PM I realized my passports were missing after lunch at Lambert's Café on Glenstone Ave in Springfield. I had them tucked inside a brown leather wallet along with a visa packet and a small family photo. I must have left the wallet on a chair near the entrance while I checked my luggage. The wallet is a worn burgundy leather, and the passports inside are visible from the wallet's clear window. This trip is crucial for my work, and I’m terrified at the thought of a delay. If found, please inform through the site so I can reclaim them.

Lost sheet music in Springfield

Hi, I’m Jonah Reed, a local pianist here in Springfield. On Wednesday around 4:15 PM I was practicing at a bench outside Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World on West Sunshine Street when a weathered folder slipped from my bag and disappeared into the crowd. The folder held my sheet music for a school concert and a few favorite passages I’d scribbled in the margins. I remember the flutter of pages near Jordan Valley Park and the smell of rain on the pavement. If you found it, please know how much it would mean to me.
