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 State College 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 State College in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost photographs in State College, PA

I’m looking for my photographs that I last had around 7:45 p.m., near Old Main Lawn on the Penn State campus. Those images are more than pictures to me—they’re pieces of family and travel that I’ll never forget. I can still picture the glow of the quad lights reflecting off the camera case and the wind lifting the corner of the blue leather cover. If someone happened to find them, I’m hoping they’re somewhere safe and someone will hand them back to me.

Lost coins in State College, PA

Last Thursday evening, around 7:15 p.m., I was leaving the HUB-Robeson Center on College Ave after a late study session and realized my small pouch of coins had vanished from my pocket. My coins are a mix from family trips and a few old pennies I keep for luck. I remember pausing by the Old Main lawn to tie my shoe, then continuing toward College Ave, and that's when it must have slipped away on the stone path outside the building. They carry a lot of meaning for me, and I hate the thought of them being lost. I'm hopeful someone picked them up and will bring them back.

Lost travel adapters near Penn State campus

Hi, I’m Daniel Kim. On Tuesday, around 9:15 PM, I was in the seating area outside Pattee Library on College Avenue in State College, Pennsylvania, and I realized my travel adapters were missing from my backpack. They’re a compact black set with a red label, and losing them ahead of a trip is a real hassle. I’d appreciate any help finding them, or someone who turned them in at the library desk would be a true lifesaver.

Lost travel visas in State College, near Old Main

I was between classes on Saturday, around 3:20 PM, when I realized my travel visas weren't in my bag. They were tucked in a slim passport sleeve inside a lightly worn backpack I carry for trips. I had just sat on a bench near Old Main and crossed College Ave toward the HUB-Robeson Center to grab a quick snack. When I stood up to check my itinerary and catch the bus back to campus, the visas were gone. I keep replaying the moment—the breeze off the Arboretum, the faded blue sleeve on the grass, and the uneasy knot in my stomach. They’re essential for an upcoming trip, and I’m hopeful someone picked them up and handed them in.

Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones in case

I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones yesterday around 3pm. They were in a matte black carrying case with a small white sticker on the back that says 'AK'. The headphones themselves are in good condition with a tiny dent on the left earcup and a faint scratch; inside the case I stashed a blue microfiber cloth. They were a gift from my sister last year, and I really need them back for class and commuting. If you find them, reply to this listing and we can work out a pickup near the Penn State Bookstore on College Ave, by the HUB-Robeson Center.
