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 Topeka 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 Topeka in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost DVDs near the Capitol, Topeka

I lost my DVDs last Tuesday around 8:15 p.m. in Topeka, near the Capitol on Kansas Avenue. I was grabbing a quick bite after work and must have set them down when I turned to check a map, and by the time I looked again they were gone. The set is in a black case with a silver sticker, and it means a lot to me as it holds years of movie nights with friends. If you found them, please message me on the site and keep them safe for a little longer.

Lost document holders near Kansas State Capitol, Topeka

Hi, I'm Grace Thompson. I lost my document holders this morning around 8:45 AM in the Kansas State Capitol complex in Topeka. They were a black binder and a tan folder I left on a chair by the north stairwell after a quick meeting. My work relies on those papers, and I’m worried about deadlines piling up while I search. If found, please let the site know; I appreciate any help keeping my materials safe.

Lost: Saxophones near Ward-Meade Park

I was wrapping up after a small rehearsal near Ward-Meade Park in Topeka around 6:15 p.m. Friday when I realized my saxophones were missing from my gig bag. There are two saxophones, an alto and a tenor, in separate hard cases. The cases have initials MT on the mouthpieces and a small dent on the tenor bell. I am worried about these instruments because they are essential for my performances and hold a lot of memories.

Lost student ID near the Kansas State Capitol, Topeka

I’m Priya Sharma. On Tuesday around 4:15 p.m., I was walking along 10th Street near the Kansas State Capitol when I realized my student ID was missing. It’s a white card with my photo on a blue lanyard. I retraced routes from the campus library to the capitol steps, checked the student center, and asked a few passersby, but nothing turned up. This ID unlocks the library and exam rooms, so I’m anxious about classes tomorrow. I’m trying not to panic and hoping someone who finds it will turn it in to the campus lost-and-found so it can be returned to me via the proper channels.

Framed watercolor with gold frame

I lost my small framed watercolor yesterday around 3pm near the Kansas State Capitol steps on SW 10th Ave in Topeka. It's a 9x12 inch print, framed in a slim matte-gold frame with a few light scratches along the edge. The painting shows a prairie sunset with orange and purple skies and a lone oak tree; there’s a tiny dent on the lower-left corner and a sticker on the back that reads 'Mira Art Co.' It’s sentimental to me because it was my grandmother’s gift, and I really hope to have it back.

Navy blue satin evening gown with crystal neckline

I lost my navy blue satin evening gown yesterday around 3pm near the Kansas State Capitol on 10th Ave in downtown Topeka. It's a floor-length Adrianna Papell gown in size 6, with a crystal-embellished neckline and a delicate silver zipper pull at the back. The gown is in good condition overall, but there’s a tiny snag on the hem and a faint wine stain along the bottom edge from last weekend’s dinner. It has sentimental value—my cousin’s wedding is coming up, and I really need it back to wear for the ceremony.
