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 Wausau 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 Wausau in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost bus tickets in downtown Wausau

Last Friday around 5:45 p.m., I was at the bus stop on Grand Avenue, near Third Street in downtown Wausau. I had folded two bus tickets into a small tan sleeve and must have slipped them out of my pocket while I was juggling a coffee and a receipt. The tickets are for a morning shuttle, and I’m terrified I’ll miss my trip if they don’t surface. They’re important to me because of an upcoming family visit, and I’m anxious about scrambling to replace them. If they’re found, I’d be incredibly grateful to have them back so I can make my plans work.

Lost adapters near Woodson Art Museum, Wausau

I must have left my adapters somewhere around downtown Wausau last Thursday around 8:05 PM after a quick coffee run near the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. The gray zip pouch held USB-C and USB-A adapters, tangled together like a mini jumble in my bag. I remember setting the bag down on the cafe chair by the courtyard, then walking away with a rush and realizing the adapters were gone only after I reached Rib Mountain nearby. I’m frustrated and anxious because I depend on these for work trips, and I’m hoping someone honest found them and will return them.

Lost photographs from a family trip

I was packing up after a visit to the Marathon County Historical Society around 6:45 PM last Friday and realized a small manila envelope with old photographs was missing from my tote. The photos are a mix of black-and-white prints and a few color shots from the 1960s, including my grandmother's wedding and everyday family moments. The envelope is plain brown, and the label has my mother's neat handwriting in blue ink. The edges are a bit curled and the paper has a faint humidity stain from a summer rain, which makes the memories look almost fragile. These pictures mean the world to me; they carry stories I want to share with my kids one day.

Lost coins from my grandfather.

I lost my coins from my grandfather while I was by the Wisconsin Riverwalk in Wausau at 5:15 PM on Friday. They were tucked in a small brown leather pouch with a cracked snap, containing mostly copper pennies and a few old silver dimes. They mean a lot to me and remind me of weekend visits and stories my grandfather told. I retraced my steps along Grand Avenue from the riverfront to the Wausau Center, but I couldn't find them. If by chance anyone picked them up, I’d be grateful to have them back.

Lost: USB drives with family photos, Wausau

I was at Riverside Park in Wausau around 6:15 PM last Friday when I realized my USB drives were missing from my backpack. Inside the blue neoprene case are two drives with family photos, some school work, and a short video. I think I left them on a bench near the park's gazebo by the river, then walked away for just a few minutes. I hope someone who finds them can see this listing and return them through the site.

Lost driver's license in Wausau

Today around 8:30 a.m., I was at The Grand Theatre on Grand Avenue in downtown Wausau and must have left my driver's license on the counter at the little bakery nearby. I only realized it when I reached the bus stop across from the library, and now I’m anxious about ID checks and appointments. The license is a standard Wisconsin card with my photo, and losing it makes everyday tasks feel nerve-wracking. If you found it around The Grand Theatre area, please let me know through the site.
