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 Tucson 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 Tucson in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost paintings in downtown Tucson

I wrapped up a late painting session Friday around 7:30 PM near the Tucson Museum of Art, and I think I left two paintings in the back of my SUV near North Main Avenue. One is a desert landscape with saguaros, the other an abstract piece with cobalt and gold that catches the street lamps. The canvases are wrapped in brown paper, and one frame has a small dent in the corner. I'm anxious because I have a show in two days and need them back.

Lost holiday decorations around downtown Tucson

Last Friday, around 7:20 p.m., I realized my holiday decorations were missing from the front porch of my townhouse on 4th Avenue, not far from the Hotel Congress. A garland lay tangled around a streetlight, a wreath with a chipped red bow rested in a planter, and a string of warm-white lights had spilled into a tangle on the doormat. Those ornaments carry memories from family moments and I’m aching a bit without them during the season. I’m hoping whoever picked them up understands how much they mean and will return them to the building’s lobby lost-and-found, so we can decorate again soon.

Small black metronome with chrome dial

I realized yesterday around 3pm that my small black metronome was missing outside the UA Main Library on University Blvd. It's a compact, matte-black metronome with a shiny chrome dial and a tiny dent on the base. On the back there's a white cactus sticker and a thin red scribble along the rim—easy to spot if someone saw it. It’s been a lifesaver for keeping tempo during practice, and it has sentimental value since it was a gift from my piano teacher. If you found it, I’d be super grateful to get it back; just drop me a message here in the listing and we can work out a pickup near the 4th Ave area or by the library.

Brown leather Coach wallet lost near UA Bookstore, Tucson

I lost my dark brown Coach wallet yesterday around 3pm outside the UA Bookstore on University Boulevard, near the campus crosswalk. It's a dark brown leather wallet with tan stitching and a faint coffee stain on the back corner, and it's a gift from my mom; inside I keep my driver's license, a couple of debit cards, and a tiny folded photo. On the inside pocket there's an embossed monogram 'PN' and a small receipt from a Tucson coffee shop tucked in the card slot—those are the sentimental bits I can't replace. Please, if you found it, I really need it back; it has sentimental value and I use it every day.

Gray North Face backpack with orange zipper pulls

I lost my gray North Face backpack yesterday around 3pm near the UA Bookstore on University Boulevard in Tucson. It’s a 25-liter daypack with two bright orange zipper pulls, a blue water bottle sleeve on the side, and a faded red compass sticker on the front pocket. Inside are my notebook, a blue folder, and a small key fob with my initials; the fabric is a bit scuffed on the bottom from a little rain last week. This bag has sentimental value—it was a gift from my grandmother, and I really need it back.
