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 Western Kentucky 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 Western Kentucky in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost sculptures in Western Kentucky, KY

On Friday around 9:00 p.m., I realized my sculptures were missing from the loading bay at the downtown Bowling Green studio, near the courthouse square in Western Kentucky. The set includes a bronze bust about a foot tall and two small ceramic figures—all on a simple wooden display stand. I had moved them there at 6:45 p.m. after a brief charity exhibit along College Street, and the place felt safe under the street lamps. My heart sank at the thought that someone might have mistaken them for street art. If you’ve seen them, please leave a note on this listing so they can be reunited with their creator.

Adapters lost near WKU campus, Bowling Green

I LOST my USB-C adapters. I was finishing a late session at WKU’s Knicely Conference Center on the Bowling Green campus around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my adapters were missing from my backpack. They are a small gray hub plus a brown leather case—my lifeline for work trips and long lecture days. I'm anxious because I travel again next week and need them for my laptop. I retraced my steps from the conference center to State Street, checked the library and coffee shop, and asked at the information desk, but no sign. If found, please leave a note.

LOST Travel Visas near WKU campus, Bowling Green

I woke up this morning around 9:15 a.m. and realized my travel visas were missing from my backpack as I hurried between classes on the WKU campus in Bowling Green. They’re in a blue folder with official stamps, essential for my upcoming trip abroad, and I’m already stressed about the details. I retraced my steps from the library to the student center, asking around, but nothing turns up yet. I’m hoping they turn up soon so I can sort the plans and paperwork without more delays.

Lost driver's license in Bowling Green

Today around 12:45 p.m., I was taking a walk around Circus Square Park in downtown Bowling Green in Western Kentucky when I realized my driver's license wasn't in my wallet anymore. I retraced my steps along 2nd and Main, asked the nearby vendor if anyone had turned in a small plastic sleeve, but nothing turned up. The license is essential for work and travel this week, and I feel unsettled without it. I'm hoping the owner will see this and contact me through the site to arrange a safe handoff. I'll verify ownership and return it promptly.

LOST: Brooches in Western Kentucky

On Tuesday around 5:00 p.m., I was strolling through downtown Bowling Green, near Circus Square Park on Main Street, when I realized my two brooches were missing from the tote I’d left on a bench. They’re heirloom pieces—one with a tiny blue stone, the other a gold flower—that mean more to me than any new purchase. I’d been browsing a charity sale and chatting with vendors as the evening light softened, and I must have slipped them out of the tote during a squeeze of the crowd. If you found them, please let me know through the site so I can collect them.

Lost Stamps in Western Kentucky

Last Saturday at 5:30 p.m., I was sorting through a green binder of my stamp collection on the desk by the big bay window in my Paducah apartment, when I realized the binder was gone. The collection holds a handful of mid-century U.S. issues and a few foreign stamps my grandfather gave me, all tucked inside that binder with a yellow cover. The desk now feels oddly empty, and I’m left imagining someone else flipping through those tiny reminders of family history. I’m hoping the finder walked by Market House Square in downtown Paducah and kept an eye out so I can reclaim a piece of my grandfather’s memory.
