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 St Louis 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 St Louis in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost: Utensils near Kiener Plaza, St. Louis

On Tuesday around 7:15 p.m., I was grabbing takeout by the fountain at Kiener Plaza, downtown St. Louis, and realized my travel utensils were gone. They’re a small silver set in a black pouch, a simple reminder of home during long shifts. I've used them for years, and losing them felt like I'd misplaced a little bit of myself. I've been walking the paths around the Arch and by Kiener Plaza, hoping someone who finds them will drop them at the site so I can get them back.

Lost adapters near Gateway Arch, St Louis

After work, around 4:10 p.m., I realized my phone charger adapters were missing from my messenger bag. I had just left Union Station and was walking toward the Gateway Arch when I noticed they were gone. The gray neoprene sleeves with blue tips probably slipped out between the bus stop and a fountain area along Market Street. I rely on those adapters for work trips, and it hurts to think someone else might be using them.

Lost: Work Cases downtown near Union Station.

I was walking through downtown St. Louis around 3:12 p.m. last Friday when my work cases disappeared from a sidewalk by Union Station. They’re two black leather cases, one larger with a blue strap, the other a mid-size model. Inside are documents I’ve been meaning to review and a charger I use every day. They felt important, and I’m uneasy without them, since I rely on those tools for my job. If you found something matching this description, I’d be grateful for its return through the site.

Lost dining chairs from my kitchen set.

I was hosting a quiet dinner at my apartment near the Gateway Arch, and around 7:45 pm on Friday I stepped out to grab a bag of ice. When I returned, four wooden chairs from my dining set were gone from the kitchen. They’re simple chairs with blue cushions and a small scratch on the back of one chair. They mean a lot to me because they were my grandmother’s and have seen many family gatherings, so I’m hoping they’re nearby somewhere safe. If you saw anything around downtown St. Louis after 7:45 pm Friday, please think of them as part of our family meals.

Lost bus tickets near Union Station, St. Louis.

This morning around 9:10 a.m., I realized my bus tickets were missing from my jacket pocket while I waited at the bus stop outside Union Station in downtown St. Louis. The slips are small, one with a blue border and the other with a red stamp, both creased from the morning rain. They were essential for a trip to visit family, more than just pieces of paper, and the memory attached to them makes me hopeful they’ll turn up. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have back the plans and the moment they carried.

Lost postcards near Gateway Arch, St. Louis

I lost my stack of travel postcards from last summer around 5:20 p.m. last Friday near the Gateway Arch, by Market Street and the riverfront. I had been at the City Museum gift shop earlier and then walked toward Arch Park when they slipped from my tote. They carry memories of my grandmother's handwriting and a few stamps from foreign trips, so I feel a bit overwhelmed and hopeful. I retraced steps along the riverfront and asked a few street performers if they'd seen a notebook, but I haven't seen them since. They are small keepsakes I can’t replace, and I’m hoping they turn up where I last set them down.
