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 navy skirt near Lost River Cave, Bowling Green

Hi, I’m Jordan Ellis. I lost a navy knee-length skirt with a subtle floral pattern last Friday around 7:15 p.m. near Lost River Cave in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It’s a size medium, soft cotton, and it carries a lot of sentimental value because my grandmother made it for me. I retraced the parking lot, the trail along the entrance, and the nearby benches, but I couldn’t find it. If it turns up, I’d be grateful beyond words.

Lost: Sandals near WKU campus Diddle Arena

Friday at 6:10 p.m., I was on the WKU campus, near the Diddle Arena, after volunteering at a small event. I kicked off my sandals to cool off and left them by the bench where I chatted with friends. When I turned around ten minutes later, they were gone. They’re brown flip-flops with a small scuff on the left strap; sentimental to me because they remind me of a family trip to the lake last summer. I’m hopeful they’ll be found and returned to me.

LOST: Postcards in Western Kentucky

I lost a small stack of Postcards somewhere in Western Kentucky, around 3:15 p.m. on Sunday, probably near Fountain Square in downtown Bowling Green. The cards are a mix of vintage scenes and handwritten notes, all tucked inside a worn accordion folder with a few torn corners. They mean a lot to me—the kind of things you send to family and friends, little reminders of places we’ve shared. I’m hoping they’re simply misplaced, not tossed aside during a walk along the square. If you’ve seen them, please know they belong to someone who cherishes the memories etched on each card, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed they’ll turn up soon.

Lost travel bags in Bowling Green

I lost my travel bags near Circus Square Park around 6:45 p.m. Friday in downtown Bowling Green. My two travel bags slipped off the luggage cart and disappeared as I stepped onto the sidewalk. They’re black, one with a small red tag and the other with a blue zipper pull, items I can’t replace easily. I’m desperate to have them back—inside are my clothes and a few travel documents, and I keep replaying the moment I last saw them. If you’ve seen them, please drop them off at the site.

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.
