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 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.

Lost sheet music near Citygarden fountain.

On Friday around 5:15 pm, after a quick practice in downtown St. Louis near Washington Avenue, I realized my sheet music was gone from my gig bag. I retraced my steps toward Citygarden and the Grand Center area, hoping to spot the familiar blue folder, but no luck. The pages are a mix of classical pieces with a tempo marking in blue pencil and a few dog-eared corners. I hope someone has found them and will return them to the site so I can pick them up before my next rehearsal.

Lost holiday decorations near Gateway Arch, St. Louis

I was stringing up lights and a garland in my apartment near the Gateway Arch downtown when a gust from the window knocked the garland off the mantle and sent ornaments rolling across the living room. The Holiday decorations are more than decor to me; one heirloom glass ball from my grandmother and a small wooden star painted by my sister are in that box. The room feels bare without them, and the memories feel farther away with each passing minute. I retraced every step: from the couch to the coffee table to the kitchen threshold. If someone happened to have found them tucked behind the sofa or by the front door, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them.

Black Samsonite 22-inch suitcase

I lost my black Samsonite 22-inch suitcase yesterday around 3pm near Union Station's main entrance on 18th Street in downtown St Louis. It's a brushed polycarbonate shell with a couple of small scuffs on the corner from travel, and a bright red luggage tag bearing my initials 'PP' on the handle. There’s also a tiny blue zipper pull from a jacket I keep tucked in the outer pocket. Inside is a folded travel journal and a few family photos, plus my grandmother's scarf—the bag feels like a piece of home when I'm far from family. I really need it back; it holds essential clothes for an upcoming trip and the sentimental stuff can't be replaced. If you found it, please reach out.

Blue Trek 2.0 mountain bike

I lost my blue Trek 2.0 mountain bike yesterday around 3pm near the Gateway Arch National Park along Market Street in St Louis. It's a blue frame with a white Trek decal on the downtube, a black Selle Italia saddle, and a bright red water bottle in the cage, plus a small fox sticker on the top tube. There's a dent on the front fork and an old silver bell on the handlebars that I always ring to say hi to pedestrians. This bike is sentimental to me - my dad got it for me a few years ago - and I really need it back; if you found it, please contact me.
