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 pins around PSU campus, State College

On Friday around 2:30 pm, I realized my small pin collection had slipped from my jacket during a stroll along College Avenue toward Old Main Lawn on Penn State’s campus. I’d paused to snap a photo and then noticed the pins were gone from my pocket. The set is a mix of a red PSU logo pin and a few travel keepsakes in a tiny metal case; they feel like little memories I don’t want to lose. I’m hoping they were found somewhere near the Old Main lawn or nearby sidewalks and turned in.

I lost my keyboards near Old Main, State College.

Yesterday around 9:15 p.m., I realized my keyboards were gone from my backpack near the Penn State Bookstore on College Ave. I sprinted back along Beaver Ave toward Old Main, asking students and staff if anyone had seen two mechanical keyboards. One is blue with a compact layout, the other silver with lime keycaps and a slightly chipped space bar. They’re not just gadgets to me; I use them for late-night coding sessions and small-campus gigs. I’m hopeful a kind passerby turned them in at the security desk by the HUB-Robeson Center, or left a note at the information desk. If you saw anything, I’d be grateful to hear about it.

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.
