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 Toledo 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 Toledo in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost flute near Promenade Park, Toledo

I lost my flute the other night, around 6:15 p.m. Friday near Promenade Park along the Maumee River, after I set the case on a bench to tie my shoes. When I turned back, the case with the flutes was gone. This instrument isn’t just metal to me; it carries memories of lessons with my late mentor and the tiny hiss of piano accompaniment in class. I keep replaying the moment in my head, praying someone honest will hand it in and recognize it as mine.

Lost radios near Promenade Park, Toledo

Last Friday at 7:42 p.m., I left two portable radios on a concrete bench by the Promenade Park fountain along the Maumee River while I checked a map. I wandered a few steps toward the riverwalk and then returned, but the bench was empty and the path crowded with joggers and vendors. One radio is a small silver model with a blue strap and a cracked screen; the other is a matte black unit with a red strap. I'm really shaken—these radios were gifts from my grandfather, and I used them for field recordings for a little project I'm finishing up.

Lost Stamps Collection Near Union Station

I lost my stamps collection around 5:45 pm yesterday near Promenade Park by the Maumee River in Toledo. The set lives in a small blue binder with a few rare issues from the 1930s, tucked in a zippered pouch inside a compact red box. I’ve been building this collection since I was a kid, and several pieces belonged to my grandfather, which makes them irreplaceable. I’m anxious about replacing them and keeping the memory alive, especially with an upcoming show. If anyone saw something near the riverfront, please—these stamps mean a lot to me.

Lost hand tools near Promenade Park, Toledo

I was at Promenade Park along the Maumee River around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday when I tucked a gray tool bag into my cart while I swapped a blade on a saw. A sudden gust blew the bag off the cart and into the grass, and by the time I turned around it was gone. Inside the bag are a cordless drill, a hammer, a tape measure, and a yellow-handled screwdriver, all marked with my initials. These tools travel with me for neighborhood repairs and volunteer projects around downtown Toledo, so losing them hits hard. If someone found them, please help me reunite them with me via the site; they’re essential to my work.

Lost sheets in Toledo, Ohio

I lost a queen-size sheet set last night while I was folding laundry. I had hung them to dry in the backyard behind my duplex near Riverside Park in Toledo, off South Detroit Avenue. The set is pale blue with a thin white edge; the fitted sheet is a bit worn where it snagged, and there's a small coffee stain on the corner from breakfast the day before. It feels silly to admit, but that sheet set carries memories of Sundays with my mom. If someone found them, please reach out through the site so I can get them back.

Lost enamel pins near Promenade Park Toledo

I was walking my dog by Promenade Park along the Maumee River around 7:25 PM on Tuesday when I realized my pins were missing from my jacket pocket. There were three small pins: a compass, a lighthouse, and a maple leaf, all on silver backs. I retraced the brick path behind the amphitheater and along the riverfront, but the evening crowd had already thinned. These pins were a gift from my grandmother, a small token I carry for luck, and I’d be grateful to have them back.
