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 Syracuse 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 Syracuse in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Drones near SU campus

I was filming a quick sunset timelapse on Friday at 4:25 pm, along University Avenue near the Hall of Languages on the Syracuse University campus when my two drones slipped from their controller and drifted into the breeze. I chased their glints across the quad by Slocum Hall, calling to them despite the wind, but they vanished among the trees toward the woods beyond the maintenance yard. My heart sank because the project means a lot to me, and those small machines are essential for the shot I’m trying to finish. I’m hoping someone picked them up and can tell me where they landed.

Navy blue knit scarf with copper leaf charm

I lost my navy blue knit scarf yesterday around 3pm outside the Clinton Square fountain on East Water Street in downtown Syracuse. It's a 60-inch acrylic scarf with a subtle ribbed texture, and it has a tiny copper leaf charm attached to the inner tag as a unique identifying feature. There’s a small, neat frayed end on the right side, and the scarf carries sentimental value because it was a gift from my grandmother. I’m really hoping someone picked it up and can return it—I’d be so grateful.

Red compact umbrella with panda sticker

I lost my red compact umbrella yesterday around 3pm near Café Kubal on West Genesee Street in Syracuse. It's a small foldable umbrella, about 9 inches long when folded, with bright red fabric and a black plastic handle that has a tiny white panda sticker about 1 inch tall. The canopy has a minor snag on one rib, and the edge is a bit frayed from rain. This umbrella was a gift from my sister and it means a lot to me, since we used it on many chilly bus rides and it has sentimental value. If someone found it, please text me or drop it off at the Syracuse University Public Safety desk; I’d really appreciate getting it back!

Black Fossil wallet with red stitch, lost yesterday

I lost my black Fossil leather bi-fold wallet yesterday around 3pm near Destiny USA in Syracuse. It's genuine black leather, about 4.5 x 3.25 inches when folded, with bright red stitching along the edges. The back has a small coffee stain and a faint scratch near the bottom corner. Inside there's my driver's license, a couple of debit cards, and about $60 cash. It also has my initials embossed on the inner card sleeve, 'AP'. This wallet was a gift from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value and I’m really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, I’d be incredibly grateful to be reunited with it.

Navy blue formal gown with beading

I lost my navy blue Calvin Klein floor-length gown yesterday around 3pm outside the Macy's entrance at Destiny USA in Syracuse. It's a size 6 satin gown with a halter neckline and a delicate beaded belt, plus a small snag on the hem from a door frame. The color is a deep sapphire navy, and there's a detachable silver belt buckle that stands out. The back zipper works, but the hem is a touch creased from being folded in a garment bag. It was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me—I have a wedding next weekend and really need it back. If anyone found it, please contact me; I’d be grateful to pick it up as soon as possible.

Lost Erin Go Bragh flag with harp and shamrock

Lost – Old “Erin Go Bragh” (Irish flag) with harp and shamrock design. It was loaned to a family member many years ago and it hung in an Irish dance studio in Syracuse which was in the back of a neighborhood pub. The pub was remodeled years ago and the flag was lost. There is a white cotton border on the left side with some handwriting that will identify it. If found or if in someone’s possession now, please contact me.
