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 Vermont 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 Vermont in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost hoops in Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace.

On Friday at 5:15 PM, I was strolling along Church Street Marketplace in downtown Burlington, Vermont, after grabbing a coffee near the Flynn Center. I lost my hoops when I checked my bag a few minutes later. They are silver hoops with a tiny pinecone charm, a bit bent from a tumble last winter. I retraced my steps past the farmers market stalls, along the brick lanes, and to the bench by City Hall Park, hoping someone picked them up. They were a small comfort during a rough week, and I miss them already.

Lost Canines in Vermont near Burlington

I was walking my Canines on the Burlington Bike Path near Waterfront Park last Friday at 7:15 p.m. when a gust pulled their leashes and they bolted toward the marina. The pink evening light made it hard to spot them among the crowd, and I rushed after them past the Church Street Marketplace and toward the shoreline. I am scared they will wander into traffic or into the woods behind the lake, and I just want them home where they belong.

Lost pocket watches near Church Street Market, Burlington

I was wandering through the Church Street Market in downtown Burlington at 8:40 AM on Saturday when my pocket watches vanished from my vest pocket. The two watches are heirlooms—one with a silver case and a faint engraving, the other with a brass case and a worn leather fob. I wore them every day and treated them as little time machines, so losing them feels personal and heavy. I hope they turn up with the friendly morning crowd.

Lost felines near Burlington, Vermont

Last night around 9:15 PM I realized my two felines had slipped out the back door of our apartment near the Church Street Marketplace in Burlington. I’ve spent hours walking the block from Pearl Street to Waterfront Park, calling their names and rattling a can of treats, but the alleys and piles of snow hid them from view. They’re indoor-outdoor rescues who light up my days, and I worry about the cold and the traffic. My heart aches with every passing car. If you’ve seen them, I’m holding onto hope.

LOST: Travel Adapters in Vermont, Vermont, United States

I was wandering through Church Street Marketplace in Burlington on a chilly evening around 7:45 p.m. when I realized my travel adapters were missing from my backpack. It’s a small gray universal adapter set with a blue strap and a black case—essential for my upcoming work trips. I retraced my steps toward the bus stops by City Hall Park and the little cafes, but they didn’t surface. If someone found them, I’d be grateful to have them back so I can finish my coming trip.
