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 canines near Clinton Street entrance, Thornden Park

I lost my two canines last Saturday around 3:30 p.m. near the Clinton Street entrance to Thornden Park in Syracuse. We had been walking when they spotted a squirrel and tugged away from me. They are a brindle lab mix and a white terrier with a black patch over the left ear. My heart jumped into my chest and I felt a hollow in my stomach as they disappeared into the trees. If someone happened to find them, I’m hoping they’re safe and can lead me back to their quiet yard.

Lost holiday decorations in Syracuse

I lost my holiday decorations last Friday in Syracuse. Around 7:10 p.m., after the tree lighting at Clinton Square, I realized my box of decorations had vanished from a bag I set down briefly near a vendor tent. The lights, garlands, and a tiny glass tree topper were in there, and I feel a bit crushed thinking someone might have picked it up by mistake. I walked from Destiny USA toward Clinton Square, but the box never turned up. If you see them, please know how much it would mean to me this season.

Lost: Hand Tools in Syracuse, NY

I was wrapping up a quick project at a friend's place near Armory Square when I realized my Hand Tools were gone from my bag. It was around 7:00 p.m. last Tuesday on West Genesee Street, and I must have left them on a bench outside a cafe. The toolbox is black with a red handle, filled with screwdrivers and pliers I rely on for small fixes around the house. I’m anxious about replacing them and hope someone who picked them up will help me get them back.

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!
